Holidays such as Navaratri, when Mahalakshmi is honored, and Deepavali, when people welcome this goddess into their homes and lives, are also traditional times to recite this hymn as an expression of gratitude for her blessings of abundance, harmony, and protection. This practice supports us to recognize and nurture her divine qualities within ourselves, in our lives, and in the world around us.Īny occasion-particularly an occasion one wishes to approach with a spirit of friendliness, generosity, and goodwill-is an excellent time to welcome the presence of Mahalakshmi through the recitation of this hymn.Įvents especially suitable for this practice include birthdays, weddings, and any beginning-the start of a new year or the commencement of some new venture. Recitation of this hymn is one way that Siddha Yoga students can pay homage to Mahalakshmi and invoke her blessings. In this hymn, she is also extolled as the primordial energy, the mother of the universe. You are beautiful spouse of Madhava, sister of moon, golden, worshipped by sages and bestower of salvation.
