Satyanarayan Aarti lyrics in English
Jai Lakshmi Ramana, Swami Jai Lakshmi Ramana,
Satyanarayan Swami, Jan Patak Harana.
Om Jai Lakshmi Ramana, Swami Jai Lakshmi Ramana.
Ratna Jadit Singhasan, Adbhut Chhavi Rajai,
Narad Karat Nirajan, Ghanta Dhvani Bajai.
Om Jai Lakshmi Ramana, Swami Jai Lakshmi Ramana.
Prakat Bhaye Kali Karan, Dvij Ko Darsh Diyo,
Boodha Brahman Bankar, Kanchan Mahal Kiyo.
Om Jai Lakshmi Ramana, Swami Jai Lakshmi Ramana.
Durbal Bheel Katharo, Jin Par Kripa Kari,
Chandrachood Ek Raja, Tinki Vipatti Hari.
Om Jai Lakshmi Ramana, Swami Jai Lakshmi Ramana.
Vaishya Manorath Payo, Shraddha Taj Deenhi,
So Phal Bhogyo Prabhuji, Phir Stuti Keenhi.

Bhaav Bhakti Ke Karan, Chhin-Chhin Roop Dharyo,
Shraddha Dharan Keenhi, Tinko Kaaj Saryo.
Om Jai Lakshmi Ramana, Swami Jai Lakshmi Ramana.
Gwaal-Baal Sang Raja, Van Mein Bhakti Kari,
Manvanchhit Phal Deenho, Deendayal Hari.
Om Jai Lakshmi Ramana, Swami Jai Lakshmi Ramana.
Chadhat Prasad Savayo, Kadali Phal, Meva,
Dhoop Deep Tulsi Se, Raji Satyadeva.
Om Jai Lakshmi Ramana, Swami Jai Lakshmi Ramana.
Shri Satyanarayan Ji Ki Aarti, Jo Koi Nar Gavai,
Riddhi-Siddhi Sukh-Sampatti, Sahaj Roop Pavai.
Jai Lakshmi Ramana, Swami Jai Lakshmi Ramana,
Satyanarayan Swami, Jan Patak Harana.
Satyanarayan Aarti in Hindi
जय लक्ष्मी रमणा, स्वामी जय लक्ष्मी रमणा।
सत्यनारायण स्वामी, जन पातक हरणा॥
ॐ जय लक्ष्मी रमणा, स्वामी जय लक्ष्मी रमणा।
रत्न जड़ित सिंहासन, अद्भुत छवि राजै।
नारद करत निराजन, घण्टा ध्वनि बाजै॥
ॐ जय लक्ष्मी रमणा, स्वामी जय लक्ष्मी रमणा।
प्रकट भये कलि कारण, द्विज को दर्श दियो।
बूढ़ा ब्राह्मण बनकर, कंचन महल कियो॥
ॐ जय लक्ष्मी रमणा, स्वामी जय लक्ष्मी रमणा।
दुर्बल भील कठारो, जिन पर कृपा करी।
चन्द्रचूड़ एक राजा, तिनकी विपत्ति हरी॥
ॐ जय लक्ष्मी रमणा, स्वामी जय लक्ष्मी रमणा।
वैश्य मनोरथ पायो, श्रद्धा तज दीन्ही।
सो फल भोग्यो प्रभुजी, फिर स्तुति कीन्हीं॥
ॐ जय लक्ष्मी रमणा, स्वामी जय लक्ष्मी रमणा।
भाव भक्ति के कारण, छिन-छिन रूप धरयो।
श्रद्धा धारण कीन्हीं, तिनको काज सरयो॥
ॐ जय लक्ष्मी रमणा, स्वामी जय लक्ष्मी रमणा।
ग्वाल-बाल संग राजा, वन में भक्ति करी।
मनवांछित फल दीन्हों, दीनदयाल हरी॥
ॐ जय लक्ष्मी रमणा, स्वामी जय लक्ष्मी रमणा।
चढ़त प्रसाद सवायो, कदली फल, मेवा।
धूप दीप तुलसी से, राजी सत्यदेवा॥
ॐ जय लक्ष्मी रमणा, स्वामी जय लक्ष्मी रमणा।
श्री सत्यनारायण जी की आरती, जो कोई नर गावै।
ऋद्धि-सिद्धि सुख-संपत्ति, सहज रूप पावै॥
जय लक्ष्मी रमणा, स्वामी जय लक्ष्मी रमणा।
सत्यनारायण स्वामी, जन पातक हरणा॥

- Read or listen to all five chapters of the Satyanarayan Vrat Katha — blow the conch after each chapter.
- Light a ghee lamp and camphor and sing “Om Jai Lakshmi Ramana”, then Om Jai Jagdish Hare.
- Distribute panjiri, panchamrit and banana prasad — the katha prasad should never be refused.

- Stand while doing the aarti and move the lamp clockwise.
- Wave the lamp 4 times at the feet, 2 at the navel, 1 at the face and 7 times over the whole form.
