Swadhyay Parivar Jay Yogeswar Aarti: A Devotional Song for the God Within
Swadhyay Parivar is a spiritual movement founded by Pandurang Shastri Athavale (1920-2003), who was also known as Dada (elder brother). The movement emphasizes self-study (swadhyaya), selfless devotion (bhakti) and application of Indian scriptures such as the Upanishads and Bhagavad Gita for spiritual, social and economic liberation. [^5^]
The movement believes that God is within oneself, every human being, all living beings and all of God's creation. It encourages voluntary self-study, self-knowledge, community discourses and action with a responsibility to the God in oneself and others. [^5^] The movement members treat all men and women in the organization as a Parivara (family). [^5^]
Swadhyay Parivar Jay Yogeswar Aarti
One of the ways that Swadhyay Parivar expresses its devotion to the God within is through singing bhavgeets (songs of feelings). These songs are composed by Dada or his followers based on the teachings of the Upanishads and Bhagavad Gita. They are sung in various languages such as Gujarati, Hindi, Marathi, Bengali, Tamil and English. [^1^] [^2^]
One of the most popular bhavgeets of Swadhyay Parivar is Jay Yogeshwar Aarti (Glory to the Lord of Yoga). This song is sung as an aarti (a ritual of offering light to the deity) to Yogeshwara Krishna, who is considered as the supreme manifestation of God in Swadhyay Parivar. The song praises Krishna as the remover of sorrow and fear, the giver of joy and peace, the master of yoga and the source of all knowledge and wisdom. The song also invokes other deities such as Parvati, Ganesha, Shiva and Surya, who are revered in Swadhyay Parivar as aspects of God. [^1^] [^2^]
The song has been recorded and uploaded on YouTube by various Swadhyay Parivar members. Some examples are: [^1^] [^2^] [^3^]
