Ashtalakshmi Stotra To Chant On Akshaya Tritiya

Ashtalakshmi, or 8 forms of goddess Lakshmi, is prayed to on Akshaya Tritiya. Read to know the Ashtalakshmi stotra and its significance.

By Subodini Menon

Goddess Lakshmi is often worshipped in her eight different forms. These varied forms of Goddess Lakshmi stand for eight different ways that you can gain prosperity and wealth. These eight forms represent the eight forms of 'Aishwarya' that are necessary for a human being to lead a happy and prosperous life.

The eight forms of Goddess Lakshmi are called the Adi Lakshmi, Dhanya Lakshmi, Dhairya Lakshmi, Gaja Lakshmi, Santana Lakshmi, Vijaya Lakshmi, Vidya Lakshmi and Dhana Lakshmi.

It is believed that the one who prays to the Goddess Maha Lakshmi by exalting her eight forms will receive immense wealth and will be showered with all kinds of auspiciousness.

It is advised that you keep a copy of the Ashtalakshmi Stotra in your pooja room. This will by itself invite positive energies into your home. Sri Yantra is a yantra that is dedicated to the Goddess Maha Lakshmi. If you do the pratishtha of this Sri Yantra in your pooja room and place a copy of the Ashtalakshmi Stotra near it, you can be sure of success in all your endeavors.

The placement of the Sri Yantra and the Ashta Lakshmi Stotra together will provide an increase in your progress, where finance and wealth is concerned. The day of Akshaya Tritiya is an excellent day for the pratishta of the Sri Yantra.

There are a few rules you need to follow when you chant the Ashtalakshmi Stotra. It is important to abide by the prescribed rules or you may risk the attraction of negative energies into your mind and house.

Rules To Follow Before Chanting The Ashtalakshmi Stotra On Akshaya Tritiya

While the rules listed here are applicable for the day of Akshaya Tritiya, they are to be followed on the other days when you chant the stotra too. You must clean the pooja place with Ganga Jal or with clean and pure water.

The idol of Goddess Maha Lakshmi must be established in the northeast corner along with the Sri Yantra. While chanting the Ashtalakshmi Stotra, you may worship both the idol and the Sri Yantra.

Offer flowers, kumkum, a lit lamp and incense to the Goddess. Conclude the pooja by doing an Arati and offer a Bhog of a sweet dish. Kheer made with milk is usually offered to the Goddess.
