Madhyan Aarti or Midday aarti is held at 12noon. The day begins with the invocation of Shri Sai Baba with the morning aarti called the Kakkad Aarti at 5.15am. This yearning that has created a bond of love and faith between Sai and his devotee is expressed through the aarti.Īarti is performed four times everyday in Saipuram. As a living manifestation of the abstract concept of God, Shri Sai Baba is an epitome of the supreme power that guides, protects and support.

Marathi films have frequently used this form of songs and dance to give a regional touch to the movies. Shirdi Sai Baba (Marathi:, Telugu:, Kannada:, Tamil:, Urdu: ) (1838 October 15, 1918), a saint, yogi, guru and a fakir is preached by Hindu’s, Muslims and many other. In Hindu rituals aarti is a rich and vibrant event, when the deity is adorned with garlands and showered with flowers along with aromatic incense sticks and waving of panchmukhi diya or five-wicks oil lamp around His figure in clockwise.Īfter offering the aarti before the deity, it is brought before all the devotees, who then pass their hands by turns over the sacred flame of the aarti lamp and quickly bring them closer to their faces and heads as a gesture of receiving the auspicious energy from the holy flame.Īt Shirdi, there are four aarti sessions all through the day, during which devotees congregate invoking Sai Baba, seeking His blessings. Shirdi Sai Baba Morning Aarti Lavani is a particular dance type and the songs played in the background are termed as Lavani Songs. This singing is often accompanied by other musical instruments such as bells, gongs and cymbals.
