Every family has that one worn booklet, its pages soft and spotted with ghee, that comes out at every aarti. Prayer books are those companions: small collections of the chalisas, aartis, stotras and bhajans people recite again and again.

The Hanuman Chalisa is probably the most widely read, often bound with Bajrang Baan and Sankat Mochan Ashtak. Aarti sangrah booklets gather the familiar aartis of many deities in one place. Sundarkand path, Durga Saptashati, Vishnu Sahasranama, Lalita Sahasranama, Shiv Mahimna Stotra and Aditya Hridayam are recited on particular days or during vrat, while bhajan and kirtan books suit group singing at satsangs.

Size matters with prayer books. A pocket edition travels in a handbag, while a big-type version helps elders read in lamp light. Gutka-style books with a sturdy cover hold up to daily use. Keep a few spare copies for guests during a jagran or katha, so everyone can sing along.
