| Now
the Puja can be completed with an aarati. Om jayajagadeesha -
hare is recommended.
If ashtoththara is to be chanted then the aarati follows that.
After the aarati is complete, take it around so that the devotees
can receive the blessing by reverentially cupping their hands
downwards and receiving the warmth of the flame and touching their
eyes with the cupped hands inwards.
We conclude the puja ceremony by chanting the following two
shlokas.
Tvameva maatacha pitaa tvameva
Tvameva bandhuscha sakhaa tvameva
Tvameva vidyaa dravinam tvameva
Tvameva sarvam mama deva deva
"You alone are our mother and father,
You alone are our sibling and friend ,You alone are our knowledge and prosperity,
You alone are everything to us, My Lord my Lord"
