How to Chant श्री राधा रानी की आरती
Instructions
Offer this aarti before an image or idol of Shri Radha (or Radha-Krishna together) with a lit ghee or camphor lamp on a golden or brass tray. Sing with devotion while circling the lamp clockwise, ideally with a bell. Offer flowers, tulsi, sweets and the chanting of 'Radhe Radhe'. Conclude by taking the aarti flame's blessing and praying for the boon of loving devotion.

It is lovingly told in Braj that Krishna runs to wherever the name and aarti of Radha are sung, for he is bound by her love; thus devotees believe that by glorifying Radha first, the grace of Krishna follows of its own accord.

Shri Radha, born to King Vrishabhanu and Mother Kirti in Barsana, is the eternal beloved of Lord Krishna and the supreme embodiment of devotional love in the Braj tradition. This aarti, sung at her temples in Barsana and Vrindavan, celebrates her divine beauty and her place as the queen of the Raas-leela, and expresses the Braj devotee's longing for the joint darshan of Radha and Krishna.
