Gagan mein thaal rav chand deepak banay The sky is the platter, the sun and moon are the lamps Taarikaa mandal janak motee The stars in the heavens are the pearls Dhoop malaanlo pavan chavro karay Sagal banrai phoolant jotee The fragrant winds are the incense, all forests the flowers Kaisee aartee hoay bhav khandanaa What a beautiful aarti this is, O Destroyer of fear! Teree aartee anhataa shabd vaajant bhayree The unstruck melody resounds like the sound of temple drums Sahas tav nain nan nain hai tohi kau You have thousands of eyes, yet no eyes Sahas moorat nanaa ek tohi Thousands of forms, yet no form Sahas pad bimal nan ek pad Thousands of feet, yet no feet Gandh bin sahas tav gandh Thousands of fragrances, yet no fragrance Iv chalat mohi In all creation, Your divine light shines Sabh meh jot jot hai soay Tis kai chaanan sabh meh chaanan hoay Gur saakhee jot pargat hoay By this illumination, everything is illuminated Through the Guru’s teachings, this divine light is revealed Historical context and significance of the Aarti When Guru Nanak visited the famous Jagannath Temple in Puri around 1506, he witnessed the evening aarti ceremony - a Hindu ritual involving lamps, flowers and incense for the deities, accompanied by bells and the sound of the conch. Instead of joining in with the congregation, Guru Nanak contemplated the aarti from a distance. When asked why he wasn’t taking part, he recited his own version, which was expanded to include the whole cosmos in continual divine worship. Guru Nanak, through this aarti, challenged orthodox ritualism and presented a revolutionary vision of worship. About Raag Dhanasari: Dhanashree creates an atmosphere of deep devotion and contemplative peace through its distinctive melodic structure. Traditionally performed during the early evening, this raag is characterised by its somewhat serious mood, the prominent use of komal ni (flat seventh) and komal ga (flat third) and its ability to evoke spiritual sentiment. About the project: Performance Date: 6th April, 2025 Venue: Recorded at the Barbican Centre on 6 April 2025, as part of the artistic collaboration titled ‘Guru Nanak’s Message of Peace through Music’. ‘Guru Nanak’s Message of Peace through Music’ was dedicated to exploring how Guru Nanak’s timeless message of equality, compassion, and spiritual awakening continues to resonate through the musical traditions he helped to establish. Music was integral to Guru Nanak’s mission. He travelled extensively with his faithful companion, Bhai Mardana, a Muslim rababi (rabab player), and together they used music to convey profound spiritual truths in a form accessible to all, regardless of caste, creed, or social standing. The concert was set to honour that tradition of inclusivity and spiritual elevation through music.
