Origin & Story
Composed by Samarth Ramdas · Samarth Ramdas · 17th century CE
Sukhkarta Dukharta was composed by the Marathi saint Samarth Ramdas, the guru who inspired the Maratha spirit of his age. In three loving verses he beholds Ganesha adorned with vermilion, pearls and a diamond crown, and signs himself 'Das Ramacha' (Ramdas, the servant), waiting at the Lord's door and begging his protection in calamity. It has become the heartbeat aarti of Ganesh Chaturthi.
✦ As told in scripture
Devotees hold that the aarti's promise is literally true — 'darshan-matre mankamana purti', that by the mere sight of Ganesha the heart's desires are fulfilled — and so it is sung first at every Ganeshotsav and every auspicious beginning, trusting the Lord to remove the obstacles before them.
