“Jain divo aarti” usually refers to Mangal Divo – the aarti of the lamp that is sung at the end of puja or temple aarti.

1. Basic meaning of Jain divo / Mangal Divo

• Divo (lamp) = light of true knowledge and purity of the soul.
• We light it in front of the Tirthankar, but the real prayer is:

“May my inner self also become bright with right faith, right knowledge and right conduct.”

• It is not for asking money, health, success, etc.

It is mainly for: - Removing inner darkness (ignorance, anger, pride, deceit, greed) - Creating mangal (spiritual auspiciousness) in the home and in the Jain sangh - Remembering the guidance of great Acharyas (like Acharya Hemchandra) and bhaktas

Both Shwetambar and Digambar Jains do lamp‑aarti. Words/tunes may differ a little, but the bhav (feeling) is the same.

3. Inner spiritual message

When you do Jain divo aarti:

• Think: “I want to remove inner darkness and light the lamp of samyak darshan, samyak jnān, samyak chāritra.”
• Pray for vyavadhān‑rahit (obstacle‑free) practice of Jain dharma for yourself, your family, and the entire Jain sangh.
• Remember: the real mangal divo is the enlightened soul within, which becomes fully bright as a Siddha.
