Sri Lakshmi Sahasranamam !! Lyrics & Meanings - Poorva Bhaga:



|| Jai Sriman Narayana ||



||Om Sri Mahalakshyai Nama : ||














The illustrious Sages  assembled were earnestly prayed to Sage Gargya  “Oh! Mahamathe, Sage Gargya kindly narrate the thousand and eight sacred names of Goddess Sri Mahalakshmi  capable to provide Bhakthi/devotion, Mukthi/Salvation and Artha/wealth.  Oh! Dhayanidhe/compassionate Sage Gargya, kindly narrates the glorious names of Goddess Sri Mahalakshmi which is  capable to elevate the worshiper from the worldly bondage and provide liberation from the cycles of birth and death.”


Sage Gargya approached the illustrious Sage Sanathkumara who has great effulgence of twelve Adityas “ Oh! Sanathkumara, Oh! Bhagavan, Oh! Sarvagna/omniscient, kindly narrates the ways to achieve Purushartha in an effortless method,  human beings on Earth are suffering from insufficiency of wealth, hence it has become impossible to follow righteousness.  Which Goddess should be eulogized to attain abundance of affluence, ultimate knowledge and protection from death?  Oh! Bhraman, kindly narrate who is the representation of refined knowledge and wisdom, who is the provider of boons?”


Sage Sanathkuamara replied “  Oh! Mahabhaga, you are extremely thoughtful and considerate about the welfare of the world and its living beings, often this thought will appear in  the mind of righteous people like you.  I shall describe the glorious thousands of names of Goddess Sri Mahalakshmi which was eulogized by Lord Bhrama, Lord Vishnu, Lord Maheshwara and Lord Indra.  These are the sacred verses that should be recited with utmost devotion and faith, which has the capabilities to provide abundance of affluence to worshiper.”


Dhyanam –


My humble salutation to Goddess Sri Mahalakshmi who is Padmanabhapriya who is most desirable to Lord Padmanabha, she has the eyes of lotus flower, she resides in the lotus flower, she has radiant face like lotus flower, she holds lotus flower on one hand.  I shall meditate upon Goddess Sri Mahalakshmi who is the sister of Lord Chandra/Chandrasahodhari, her face has  luster of  Lord Chandra, her face has the resemblance to Lord Chandra, she is adorned in various precious ornaments and she is the safest haven of her passionate devotees.  She represents Sachidhanandaroopini/Sat-Chith-Ananda, she is  eternal bliss, she is omniscient, she symbolizes  ultimate wisdom and knowledge, she resides in the chest of Lord Vishnu, she is the mother of the Universe and its living beings,  she is the symbol of mercy and provider of abundance of auspiciousness.
