Aarti, meaning "request" is an act of respect and love that signifies our request for blessings from Bhagwān. The Aarti platter, containing five lit lamps, is waved in a full circle in front of Bhagwan. At the end, we often place our hands over the flame and touch our eyes and top of our head. This act says, “may the light that illumined Bhagwan light up my vision and purify my thoughts."
