Salutations to Goddess Mahalakshmi who has no beginning and no end . A pure hearted devotee who reads Mahalakshmi Astakam praising Mahalakshmi Devi will make all powers as his own and attain the kingdom forever...
Dear friends, Please try to read the above mantra of Sri Mahalakshmi devi .After few days you can memorise it and say this mantra by heart while doing your day to day works.I tried to create a easy pooja for people who love to worship Mahalakshmi, who has financial problems and problems in their business or career. Please understand theres a proper pooja for Mahalakshmi called "Vaibhav lakshmi pooja, Mahalakshmi vrata - VaraLakshmi vrata" etc .If you know to do those pooja, please do it.
I felt confident to write a ritual on my own with the experience shirdi saibaba gave me the past three years from 2005.If you find it odd please do not do it. Rituals to me are just a way of showing our devotion on God. What matters is your "faith" . Don't read mantra or do rituals just with intention and expectations that Goddess will fulfill all your wishes. Do it with whole hearted love on the Goddess.We never know our past bad karma which is reason for our sufferings. So please surrender to Goddess Mahalakshmi and Shird saibaba. Be humble to them . Someday you will experience the "powers of prayers".
I asked permission from shirdi sai baba to write a pooja on my own for Goddess Mahalaxmi . Baba gave the answer "If you write without pride that you are doing it and seek my guidance , it shall be written and the one who does the pooja will be blessed whole heartedly by Goddess Mahalaxmi" . Sai also said "Give medicines to patients which will benefit them "
I was wondering what sai means by this..I took the "patients" here means people who are suffering financially,due to their business not doing well, due to debt, problems in career,getting cheated with financial loss etc. So i took it as baba wants me to create a pooja which will gain them blessings of Goddess Mahalaxmi and Shirdi saibaba
Who am i to write a ritual or pooja for Goddess Mahalaxmi ? Am not a saint. I din't do tapas for years like a sage. Am an ordinary little servant of shirdi saibaba.This pooja is an expression of my love for Goddess Mahalaxmi. Though i suffered all these years with setbacks in career , irrespective of me not having any big success from the time finished my graduation before eight years to 2007, i still loved Mahalaxmi because i have realized shes not just a Goddess of wealth.
I mean Lakshmi cares for us like a Mother. She has protected me in various situations.I have reasons to belive one who whole heartedly pray Lakshmi Devi will surely get a good life partner and i am yet to experience the "wealth" giving aspect of Mahalaxmi. Am sure shirdi saibaba and Mahalaxmi will soon help me realize that powers of Laxmi devi too.
In 2003, i used to pray Lord "Laxmi Narashimhar" to bless my sister with a kind hearted husband. That was my only prayer for over 6 months.I used to offer a yellow flower, a earthern lamp with ghee, some sugar etc to Lord Laxmi Narashimhar and say "my sister is good in studies and very hardworking in her career but bless her with a kind hearted husband who will understand her and give a peaceful life to her". Few months later when my prayers came true, i felt very happy and even now i consider my sisters good life as blessings of this beautiful Laxmi devi sitting on the lap an avatar of Lord Vishnu, "Narashimhar".
From 2005 , i used to recite "Mahalaxmi Astothram" and 108 names of Mahalaxmi everyday. I must accept , i din't make money as people always consider laxmi devi only as goddess of wealth. To me Mahalaxmi is a Goddess who helped me in spiritual journey. My devotion to Lord Murugan, shirdi saibaba and all Gods might have my need for "prosperity" behind it. I mean subconciously my mind has assurance that if i show devotion to saint and God, some day they will bless me with all happiness and prosperity in my life. Not all spiritualist will honestly accept this point but thats reality.
Our desires are route cause of our prayers and for a ordinary person like me, shirdi sai pulled me to serve him because subconciously i would have thought if i serve sai now, someday sai will make my life prosper. Can you understand what i mean ? Its 2007 october 16th today and untill today when i recite "Mahalaxmi Astothram" , internally i do have a belief that , i will be blessed with all Aishwaryam in my life someday. So Mahalaxmi has given me confidence to serve sai without distraction of trying to achieve something in my career. I know someday sai will change my life and Mahalaxmi will bless me with what the world expects from a man of this age . To conclude, Mahalaxmi is certainly a Goddess who helps a ordinary desireful person like me to take a spiritual journey irrespective of the numerous days and nights i spent crying in worst depression due to my failures in career .
Dhaanya Lakshmi blessed us with needs of food all life. Vidhya Lakshmi fulfills our need to learn things. she blesses us with Knowledge and Veera Lakshmi blesses us with both mental and physical courage.
A mother knows when a child is facing danger and runs to save the child. Similarly i have experienced how powerful is Mahalaxmi in protecting a true devotee.When you are facing danger due to financial problems or loss in business etc, mostly you search for spiritual guidance only after the worst has happened. If you had been a true devotee of Mahalaxmi for years, surely she would have made you take proper decisions.She would have given you hints on what to do , what not to do, whom to trust and whom not to trust etc....
Apart from financial issues, Mahalaxmi to me is a affectionate sweet mother.She cares for me a lot irrespective of my sufferings, pains and setbacks in career. I know she has plans for me and i hope someday she blesses me with a good life. Lakshmi devi, you have really been a caring mother for me.
Ok this is the only aspect of Mahalaxmi which everyone of us are aware of. That she is a "Goddess of wealth" .She blesses one with profits in business, Good career,Gold,silver, a beautiful house and all that you desire. Theres no end to desires !!! Am sure Mahalaxmi would have listened to Billions and billions of desires so far from her devotees. Yes the world needs it from us. We need money to survive.So lets pray Mahalaxmi whole heartedly to bless us with wealth and all Aishwaryam .
I have listed the benefits and reasons to pray Goddess Lakshmi as far as i know.Actually if you pray whole heartedly , Any Goddess will bless you with what you need. The point is your good karma ( good deeds) based on previous birth, your ancestors deeds etc must be more than bad deeds. This is where a ritual or a pooja can come in to use. Rituals are just external activities but internally it helps in building "Devotion" .When you show affection on God whole heartedly , your mind is purified...Thats why i request ,atleast when you do rituals, make sure you dont worry about your pains or think about desires. Just do the pooja whole heartedly.
When you make your mind concentrate on the supreme power, even if your past deeds are so bad that you are supposed to face pains for more months or years, God will be convinced and bless you with a good life. Why is God convinced . Its because when doing a ritual, your mind is purified. So a pure mind won't involve in more bad actions. So as we all know GOD is all forgiving and blesses us with a good life by fulfilling our desires. Saints has power to wash away our bad karma if we surrender to them body,mind and soul...So saimahalakshmi is a site where you gain blessings of Goddess Mahalaxmi and also Shirdi saibaba.
Don't try this just because of your idea that your problem will end if you do this. Do this only if you understand , any ritual will help you "Increase your faith " on God , saint. Its your "Faith" on Mahalakshmi and Shirdi saibaba that is going to reward you.
Dear Devotees of Mahalakshmi, Goddess does understands your situation in life , sometimes worries about health, work and business but how can you be devoted to goddess Mahalakshmi if your mind is always in wealth or worries. First keep away all your needs and show pure love, pure devotion on Mahalakshmi mata. Shes truely a divine Goddess who will bless your family with peace and harmony. Sometimes Money is not all that we need, we also need peace for which mahalakshmi teaches us the art of saburi ( patience ) . So please do the pooja only if you have patience to accept what ever happens after doing it.
I am just showing you a good path without knowing your past bad karma. So how can i promise within certain period , your life will be good. So i request you to try this pooja if you really love it and promise me that you won't say " i did this but no use" ..Cummon ..there must be some use.May be you will realize it after many days or God would have saved you from the worst that was about to happen.
Shirdi saibaba loves pure devotion. I mean dont make a deal with baba saying. Baba , i will do this and you give this to me. This is not a business transaction. Please fall in love with Goddess Mahalaxmi, Admire her , Recite her names whole heartedly, Try to imagine he form and see her in form of light when you close your eyes. Feel that shes blessing you. No matter what happens in life, remember that Mahalakshmi cares for you like a mother . This is whole hearted devotion.
Its odd to write something by myself and call it powerful. If you are wondering why i am sitting all night ( its 3.45 Am and i dint slept all night ) and writing this pooja, its because i want you all to be benefitted by doing this. The reason i feel this will surely gain you blessings of Goddess Mahalakshmi is that it has all the 4 aspects required to Gain blessings of Goddess Mahalakshmi and Shirdi saibaba.
