Aarti Sangraha
Aarti Sangraha, the library of devotional texts
The beloved aartis, chalisas, bhajans, stotras and vandanas of the household tradition, gathered by deity. Each opens with the full Devanagari text, a plain English meaning and a short note of context.
These are traditional, public-domain compositions, kept close to the received printed and oral tradition. The library is offered in reverence, as living devotion rather than as any claim of a fixed outcome. Where a text runs long the full verse is given, and the English is a faithful summary rather than a word-for-word gloss.
Read, filter and follow along
Filter by deity or by kind, or search for a line. Open any text to read the full Devanagari with its meaning and context set out for unhurried reading.
