Jay Sadguru Swami

Jay Sadguru Swami is the arti sung at Swaminarayan Sampradaya mandirs. This particular arti was composed by Muktanand Swami on 5 November 1802.[1] During the arti, a lighted ghee lamp with wicks is waved before murtis, representations of Swaminarayan and other deities.[2] In shikharbaddha mandirs, arti is performed five times a day according to the Vaishnava tradition, while in dev mandirs or Hari mandirs, arti is performed in the morning and evening only.[3]
