    There was also a Swami Shivananda, one of the direct disciples of Sri Ramakrishna. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shivananda. I am not sure if He is the one you specifically refer to, but just another information sir. All the best

Good question!!!!
Many among the devotees who sing such Aarti don't know who is Shivanand Swami !!!!
His actual name is "Shivanand Vamdev Pandya" who later became Swami Shivanand. His life span was during 14-15 th century.
He was from Gujarat and he has written many artis in Gujarati language. Both Arti mentioned above in your question are Hindi translation of Gujarati Artis.
For more details refer this article and the book mentioned in the same article.
