Lakshmi Sahasranamam
Libby Cowen
This stotra is from the Skanda Purana where it is being documented as being taught by Sage Sanath Kumara to a set of 12 sages. Here, it also states that Goddess Lakshmi states that even if this stotra is chanted without belief, she would stay for ever in their clan.
One thousand thirty three names are mentioned in the source of this translation, though in the text of the sahasra nama it is mentioned that the names are 1,008 names. Some obvious replications have been merged. Another peculiarity of this publication is that a few prayers to Goddess Lakshmi have been added in the middle of the sahasranamam and have also been included in the Namavali.
Oh treasure of mercy tell those names that lead enjoyment and salvation,
Which would lead to the good of those who do not do bad deeds,
And are not attached to those results of the deeds that they do.
For the great chant of one thousand names of Mahalakshmi the sages are Ananda, Kardhama, sons of Chikleendra, the meter is Anushtup, The power behind is Vishnu Maya the goddess addreesed is the divine Mahalakshmi and this is being chanted to get the grace of Mahalakshmi for fulfillment of wishes and getting g of all wealth.
I always meditate that Goddess who has the form of pleasure and salvation,
Who takes that form which is dear to the God, Who is the form of divine joy,
Who knows everything, who is the mother of all,
Who lives on the chest of Lord Vishnu and who is very merciful.
Mahalakshmi who is the consort of Lord Vishnu,
Glowing coolly like billions of full moons of autumn,
Thus praised by Brahma, Rudhra and other devas,
Gave new enthusiasm to the devas by her very cool glance,
And with heart full of joy gave several boons,
To them as well as to those who salute her,
To those in pain, those depressed and those who have lost everything.
Even those who do not follow the Dharma of the followers of Vishnu,
And those who did not follow my penance and do not have devotion to me,
Can chant my names with the thought that I should be saluted.
Even those children of the poor, man besieged by bad luck,
Man without initiative, Man who does not do work,
Man who is handicapped and also the own who is down trodden,
Will all definitely become lucky due to my grace,
For I am waiting to shower blessings on such a one.
People should tryto keep this as secret and read it secretly,
And if this is read on eighth or fourteenth or ninth crescent of the moon,
Or on Friday, new moon day or full moon day or on festival days,
Or chant it daily, they would get all their desires fulfilled.
Today I was felt blessed by Goddess Mahalakshmi. I woke up, did my Pooja at home and went to Nagasai Mandhir with Mahalakshmi Sahasranamam Book. I first cleaned the lamps tray and found there were so many lamps still with Ghee and lit them. I felt they all are children waiting for someone to bring them life !
I felt truly divine reading sacred names of Goddess Lakshmi friends. Its truly a wonderful Sahasranama like Vishnu Sahasranamam and Lalitha Sahasranamam. Please try to recite it but make sure you have all the reasons to do it.
So again in the evening I went to Saibaba temple, sat near Thulasi plant and started reciting the remaining holy names in Lakshmi Sahasranamam. I completed it by the time Night Aarti got over in Nagasai mandhir, distributed prasad and came home. I gave prasad to my parents and started working on my new concept.
I got a concept to work on a simple site where people use search with some inspiration and working on it now. I wish to list books which are in the topics of Leadership qualities, Inspiration, motivation and of course some novels etc.
In India, we have to give more importance to reading Good Books. So wish to list some inspiring books and about people who achieved in their life and how they did it. Since I am too soft, I wish to create a place where people learn to live life more courageous and confident.

The reason is in yoga or meditation the thoughts or body travels at astral levels at nano seconds and the technical infrastructure will take years and months to travel to that level, yet again the travel happens on and on. There will be no end to this. Coming to bhandasura vadhodhyuktha aspect, this again the characterization of the persona or personality as a whole bhanda meaning wrong and indsane thoughts, asura means destructive thought process that impacts the body mind and soul.
Now the body mind and soul itself is inbuilt with the understanding of the koti brahmanda and indanda aspect in this deha or body. There is strong relationship to this again, this can be felt using the meditation and yoga techniques, however here there are no shortcuts. Unlike the existing yoga teachers who are teaching the subject based on the theory, one needs to go beyond the theory point to understand in fact.
4) Every word and letter has that resonating effect on the body mind and soul. Now lets take a scenario where there is nothing happening regards to nada+upasana being voice prayer and you are sending equipment and other technical knowhow to investigate the existence or co-existence of the human man kind, which makes no sense at all. This is where the classical singer holds the edge over this scenario. How many of the singers really felt this way is the question. And how many have had used this tool to understand. I feel the modern day scientists and modern day doctors are missing on this and exploring themselves in the air.
2) Today the state of human mankind is like that of wandering individual in the dessert filled with mirage all around. And not withstanding this stress and strain he or she gets frustrated and thus goes in the tangential directions to get the needs and necessities fulfilled, thus stress and strain start happening or developing in the mind, body and soul as a whole. This shloka has that relevance in cross connection to the food we intake.
This shloka has a practical relevance in our day to day life. In fact this has a very much deeper meaning. In our life. How many of us really think this way that food is not only for satisfying our hunger, but purifying our hearts, body mind and soul too. Today most of the apathies if we are seeing this is due to the fact that our food which we are cooking is so contaminated that our body mind and soul is getting those thoughts on and on like that of a tape recorder producing the same old song for a longer time.
