| In the Hindu household,
dusk and dawn, hold a special significance as far as prayer
is concerned, as it is during this transition (From dawn
to morning, and dusk to evening) that negativity needs to
be burnt and righteousness welcomed. |
| |
| Traditionally the
‘Aarti’ is performed during the morning and evening in a
Hindu household. |
| |
| The Aarti consists
of a small flame which burns on a wick, placed on a plate,
which is rotated round the Deity. |
| |
| The ‘Aarti’ reminds
us of the greatness of the Lord, because the flame that
we rotate is symbolic of the Cosmos (Sun, Moon, Stars) revolving
around the Almighty paying obeisance to Him. |
