Being the Absolute, True being, Consciousness and Bliss, you play the roles of all the 3 gods- Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva) As Vishnu you have but one face, as Brahma four and as Shiva five.

As Brahma you prefer the back of the swan for your seat; as Vishnu you like to ensconce yourself on the back of Garuda (A large mythological eagle-like bird believed to be the vehicle of Lord Vishnu) and as Shiva to make the sacred bull your conveyance; all these stand ready. O Great Lord, pray rid me of my afflictions! DO BHUJA, CHAARU CHATURBHUJA DASHABHUJA ATI SOHE TIINON RUUPA NIRAKHATE TRIBHUVANA JANA MOHE OM HARA HARA MAHAADEVA...

O great Lord Omkaara, your body is attired in white and yellow silken clothes and in tiger skin, while in your company are troops of goblins, gods like Brahma and divine seers like Sanaka. Pray rid... KARA MADHYE KAMANDALU AU TRISHUULA DHAARII SUKHAKAARII DUKHAHAARII JAGAPAALANAKAARII OM HARA HARA MAHAADEVA... O great Lord Omkaara, you hold a kamandalu (the mendicants water-jar) in one of your hands and in another a trident; you bring joy to all, destroy all distress and sustain the whole world. May you rid me of all my afflictions! BRAHMAA VISHNU SADAASHIVA JAANATA AVIVEKAA PRANAVAAKSARA MEIN SHOBHITA YE TINONH EKAA OM HARA HARA MAHAADEVA... The ignorant (unwise and stupid) know Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva as three individual gods, but they are all indistinguishably fused into a single mystic syllable ‘OM’. Pray rid me of my afflictions) TRIGUNA SVAAMI KII JO KOII NARA GAVE KAHATA SHIVAANANDA SVAAMII MANA VAAMCHITA PHALA PAAVE OM HARA HARA MAHAADEVA... Says Swami Shivananda: “ He who recites this Arti to the Lord of the three gunas-sattva, rajas and tamas- attains fulfillment of his heart’s desire. O great lord Omkaara, may you rid me of my afflictions..

Tatpashchat Bhai apni bahan ko kuchh bhent pradan karte hain. Is din bahan ke ghar bhojan karne ka vishesh mahtva hota hai.
