Jai Shree Krishna

There is no such rule. A Vaishnav too can very much perform Aarthi at Home. 

There is in fact no (barring a few, like perfroming shanknaad) differentiation between seva at a Haveli and that of at a Vaishnavs home.

In fact the Mukhiaji is performing seva on behalf of somebody, were as at our home, we perform the seva ourselves to our own sevya swaroopa, so if he has the rights, then we definetly have the rights to perform Aarthi. However, which aarthi can be performed and in front of whom differ from one gurughar to another, and that ought to be followed as per the guidance of theGurughar.

However, one should keep in mind that while singing aarthis / dhol pads etc, the content should be properly looked into. Many of us perform Aarthi of Shree Yamunaji which have the ingediants of maryada, such aarthis ought to be avoided.

Jai Shree Krishna

Aarthis is usually offered using wicks made of cotton dipped in Ghee.

Dunno about cloth in hand, havent seen such a prakaar.

Jai Sri Kishna,

Dear Bindupota ji,

Aarti is and should be done if you wish for thakurji.In pushti path th seva of thakrji is dne ith the spiit of nandalya in homes. We believe ou hme is the nand bhawan and everything present is for the anand of srithakurji. Some vaishnavs also do seva with sakha bava.

The tradition of arti slightly varies in pushti marg and in maryada marg. The process as described by srikanth bhai is right. As far as the arti with cloth etc. is there it is generally seen in maryada marg where dop, diya, jal and cloth are used to do arti of thakorji. The sevya swaroop arti in pushti marg is done with the batti (wick) of cotton dipped in ghee (Deshi Ghee no vegetable oils) . It basicaly represents the tadition that mata yashoda ji used to do to protect the protector of all our srinath ju sarkar from bad vision (nazar) and ill blessings. In marwar area of rajasthan still mothers do this ati of their sons on their birthdays

Acharya  bhagan sri Jagadguru has given us the right with his blessings to touch feel and love our thakorji. He has transformed our homes into nand bhawans and has dircted us to a path which is powerful to awake a gpi within our heart. In Love there is no maryada. As gpis call themself  ispurahatma in gopi geet similarly jagadguru bhagwan has wanted we (jeev) to love pushti purshotam (Brahma) with Love (prem) and the seva (Tanuja Vitaja and Mansa) stengthn this love.

SO IF WITH LOVE YOU DO YOU CAN D ARTI WITH ANYMODE AS YOU WISH (NOT Contrary to gurugrah prampara)Coz Anything you offer with love to god he rceives. Jagadguu bhagan has given us the right to perform seva and we do have a right to perfom ati seva in it.

Jai Sri Srinath Ji sarkar
