Devotional & Legal Disclaimer

The information, prayers, aartis, stotras, mantras, and cultural descriptions presented in AaradhyaSetu – Aarti & Bhakti are compiled strictly for personal devotional, spiritual, and educational enrichment.

Recitation of sacred hymns, performance of aartis, and the chanting of divine names are traditional Hindu and Marathi practices rooted in faith, meditation, and cultural heritage. The Application serves as an easily accessible digital granth (textual collection) designed to support devotees in their personal worship at home, in temples, or while traveling.

Marathi and Sanskrit devotional literature spans centuries of oral recitation, regional temple practices, and manuscripts handed down by diverse saint traditions (Warkari sampradaya, Datta sampradaya, Ramdasi tradition, and local community gatherings).

• Stanza Order & Phrasing: Different printed prayer books (such as various editions of Sampoorna Aarti Sangrah) may feature slight variations in stanza sequence, archaic Marathi grammatical forms, or line refrains. AaradhyaSetu presents authentic, widely celebrated variants, but does not claim that its versions are the sole permissible rendering of any hymn.
• English Phonetic Transliteration: English transliterations are provided solely to assist devotees who may not be fluent in reading the Devanagari script. English phonetics are an approximation and cannot fully replicate the nuanced nasal sounds, conjunct consonants, and Vedic intonations (swaras) of original Sanskrit and Marathi.
• Pronunciation: Devotees performing formal Vedic rites or homas are encouraged to learn traditional pronunciation directly from knowledgeable acharyas, gurus, or audio recordings.

AaradhyaSetu is an independently published devotional application.

Unless explicitly declared otherwise in verified documentation, the Application, its Publisher (Vaibhavi More), and this website:

• Are NOT an official representative, affiliate, subsidiary, or mouthpiece of any specific temple trust, religious organization, governing body, or matha.
• Are NOT officially sponsored by or partnered with the Shree Siddhivinayak Ganapati Temple Trust, the Shri Saibaba Sansthan Trust (Shirdi), the Shri Vitthal-Rukmini Mandir Samiti (Pandharpur), the Mahalaxmi Temple Trust, or any other ecclesiastical organization.
• Do not collect donations, offerings, or dakshina on behalf of any temple or religious entity.

References to specific temples, holy pilgrimage sites (tirthakshetras), and deity lineages are included solely for historical, devotional, and cultural context.

Devotional prayers, mantras, and stotras hold deep personal, cultural, and spiritual meaning for practitioners. However:

The 2026 Hindu Festival Calendar included in AaradhyaSetu has been curated based on standard regional panchang systems commonly observed in Maharashtra and greater India.

Because Hindu tithis (lunar dates), sunrise timings, and nakshatras depend on precise geographic coordinates and solar calculations, astronomical dates for fasts (vratas) and festivals (such as Ekadashi, Sankashti Chaturthi, Shivratri, and Diwali) may vary by one day depending on your local town, time zone, or specific panchang tradition (e.g., Amanta vs. Purnimanta calendars). Users should cross-reference dates with their trusted local panchang or temple calendar for strict ritual fasting schedules.

Considerable dedication, proofreading, and devotional care have been invested in transcribing every verse, hymn, and header in AaradhyaSetu. Nevertheless, across hundreds of stanzas and thousands of lines of text, inadvertent typographical errors (matras, velanti, anuswaras), omission of stanzas, or regional discrepancies may occasionally occur.

We welcome collaborative corrections. If you notice a typo, misplaced word, or missing stanza, we invite you to email us at vaibhavi.more297@gmail.com. Verified corrections will be reverently integrated into the subsequent application update.

The Application is provided on an “as is” basis. While engineered to be battery-efficient, lightweight, and compatible with modern Android devices, the Developer does not warrant that:

• The Application will run without interruptions or defects on every customized Android hardware variation or custom ROM.
• Hardware-dependent features like haptic vibration or display wake-lock will behave identically across all hardware manufacturers (some battery-saver modes restrict background wake-locks or vibration motors).

AaradhyaSetu may contain links to external web resources, such as this legal portal or the Google Play Store. The Developer does not endorse, guarantee, or assume responsibility for the availability, accuracy, or privacy policies of third-party websites or services.

AaradhyaSetu celebrates the broad, tolerant, and inclusive spirit of Maharashtra's Bhakti movement. The teachings of saints like Sant Dnyaneshwar, Sant Namdev, Sant Tukaram, and Sant Eknath emphasize universal compassion (Pasaydan), humility, and mutual love.

The Application and its documentation are drafted in respectful, neutral language and do not seek to promote intolerance, disparage any community, creed, or faith, or denigrate any religious path.
