When it is sung or recited
When it is sung: After a Shiva puja or abhishek, while a lamp is waved before the Shivling or image. It is sung especially on Mondays, on Pradosh (the twilight period on the thirteenth lunar day) and monthly Shivratri, on the Mondays of the month of Shravan and on Maha Shivratri.
Meaning
This aarti praises Shiva as Omkara, the sacred syllable Om, and sees Brahma, Vishnu and Sadashiv as one reality. The early verses describe the three forms by their faces, their mounts, their garlands and clothing, and the emblems they hold. One verse says that only a lack of discernment makes the three look separate, since within the syllable Om they are one. The later verses recall Parvati, the river Ganga in his hair, Mount Kailasa, ashes, bhang and datura (two plants offered to him), Vishwanath in Kashi and the bull Nandi. The last verse carries the name Shivanand Swami and states the fruit that tradition says comes from singing the aarti.
Please note
Traditional. The last verse names 'Shivanand Swami', so the aarti is linked to him, but this page does not claim a firm attribution. Wording varies between families and printed booklets: some sing a shorter form (the first seven verses and the last), and one printed form has a different second line in the verse beginning 'Akshamala vanamala' ('Tripurari Kansari kar mala dhari'). This page gives the fuller, widely printed form.
