ਉਤਪਤੀ ਅਤੇ ਕਥਾ

Marathi aarti tradition (composition of Sant Samarth Ramdas) · Sant Samarth Ramdas · 17th century CE

Sant Samarth Ramdas of Sajjangad, the spiritual guide of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj and author of the Dasbodh and Manache Shlok, composed this aarti in praise of Lord Shiva. In four vivid verses it celebrates Shankara's cosmic form, His marriage to Uma (Parvati), and above all His act of swallowing the Halahala poison at the churning of the ocean — by which He became Nilakantha. The closing verse bears Ramdas's signature and turns the heart toward the constant remembrance of the Lord's name.

ਸ਼ਾਸਤਰਾਂ ਵਿੱਚ ਦੱਸੇ ਅਨੁਸਾਰ

The aarti recalls Shiva's greatest act of compassion: at the churning of the cosmic ocean, when the Halahala poison threatened to destroy all creation, Shiva drank it down, holding it in His throat, which turned blue. Devotees hold that the Lord who once swallowed the poison of the worlds will likewise absorb the troubles of those who sing His praise with love.

It is a Marathi aarti describing the glorious, awe-inspiring form of Lord Shiva (Shankara) — the crescent moon and the Ganga flowing from His head, His poison-darkened throat, the third eye, Parvati at His side, and His body smeared with sacred ash.
It was composed by Sant Samarth Ramdas (17th century), the guru of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, whose poetic signature 'Ramdas' appears in the final verse alongside a reference to Lord Rama (Raghukula-tilaka).
The third verse recalls the churning of the ocean (samudra manthan): when the deadly Halahala poison arose, Shiva drank it to save the worlds, and it stained His throat blue — hence the renowned name Nilakantha, 'the blue-throated one'.
It is sung as the evening aarti in Shiva temples and homes, and with special devotion on Mondays, during Pradosh kaal, in the month of Shravan, and on Maha Shivaratri.
