The most important activity of bhakti-yoga (Krsna Consciousness) in the modern age is Kirtan, or chanting the holy names of God.

Kirtan is a group activity, where people gather together for ecstatic congregational dancing and chanting of the Hare Krishna Mahamantra accompanied by rhythemic instruments.

Arati is a traditional ceremony in which various articles are offered to the Lord's Deity form.

According to the Vedic scriptures, the Deity is the worshipful form of God, locally manifest so that the devotees can personally render some service to Him.

The pujari (priest) begins by blowing a conchshell. The following items are offered: incense, ghee wick lamp, water, cloth, flowers, a chamara (whisk), and a peacock fan.

These items represent the material elements in pure form. Arati reminds us to offer everything in service to Lord Krishna.
