This is the traditional Mangala Aarati hymn sung by members of the Nimbarka Vaishnava Sampradaya for the Mangala Aarati ceremony at 4.30am in the morning. It is from the Mahavaani of Jagadguru Nimbarkacharya Pithadhishwara, SWAMI SHRI HARIVYAS DEVACHARYA JI MAHARAJ, the 15th Century leader of the tradition in Vraj.
It wonderfully describes the glory of the Divine Couple, the Supreme Lord, Bhagavan Shri Shri Radha Sarveshwara, and reminds the soul of its ultimate origin and destination.
This recording is taken from the Raas Leela performance of 2003 at the Phogala Ashram by Raas Mandala Swami Shri Raam Sharma Ji of Vrindavan. I have not shown the Leela as the Raas Leela should not be viewed by those who haven't studied its meaning; but I have given the audio accompanied by pictures of the Lord and the tradition of the Nimbarka Sampraday which he originated according to Shrimad Bhagavatam Canto XI.
If this clip can be listened to with speakers that give good Bass, it will enable the full feeling of the Pakhawaj to come alive.
