Lord Ganesha

श्रीगणपतीची आरती

(Ganesh Aarti (Sukhkarta Dukhharta))

Samartha Ramdas

Also known as Sukhkarta Dukhharta · Sukhakarta Dukhaharta · Ganpati Aarti Marathi

Sukhakarta Dukhaharta is the best-loved aarti of Shri Ganesha, composed by the seventeenth-century saint Samartha Ramdas and sung in Marathi households every evening and through the ten days of Ganeshotsav. It hails the Lord as the maker of joy and the remover of sorrow, describes his form in loving detail — vermilion paste, a pearl garland, a diamond-set crown, the soft ringing of anklets — and closes with Ramdas surrendering at his feet.

सुखकर्ता दुःखहर्ता वार्ता विघ्नाची।
नुरवी पुरवी प्रेम कृपा जयाची।
सर्वांगी सुन्दर उटि शेंदुराची।
कण्ठी झळके माळ मुक्ताफळांची॥
जय देव जय देव जय मंगलमूर्ति।
दर्शनमात्रे मनकामना पुरती॥
रत्नखचित फरा तुज गौरीकुमरा।
चन्दनाची उटि कुंकुमकेशरा।
हिरे जडित मुकुट शोभतो बरा।
रुणझुणती नूपुरे चरणी घागरिया॥
जय देव जय देव जय मंगलमूर्ति।
दर्शनमात्रे मनकामना पुरती॥
लम्बोदर पीताम्बर फणिवर बन्धना।
सरळ सोण्ड वक्रतुण्ड त्रिनयना।
दास रामाचा वाट पाहे सदना।
संकटी पावावे निर्वाणीरक्षावे सुरवरवन्दना॥
जय देव जय देव जय मंगलमूर्ति।
दर्शनमात्रे मनकामना पुरती॥
