Laxmi Aarti

ॐ जय लक्ष्मी माता, मैया जय लक्ष्मी माता ।
तुमको निस दिन सेवत हर-विष्णु-धाता ॥ॐ जय...

उमा, रमा, ब्रह्माणी, तुम ही जग-माता ।
सूर्य-चन्द्रमा ध्यावत, नारद ऋषि गाता ॥ॐ जय...

तुम पाताल-निरंजनि, सुख-सम्पत्ति-दाता ।
जो कोई तुमको ध्यावत, ऋद्धि-सिद्धि-धन पाता ॥ॐ जय...

तुम पाताल-निवासिनि, तुम ही शुभदाता ।
कर्म-प्रभाव-प्रकाशिनि, भवनिधि की त्राता ॥ॐ जय...

जिस घर तुम रहती, तहँ सब सद्गुण आता ।
सब सम्भव हो जाता, मन नहिं घबराता ॥ॐ जय...

तुम बिन यज्ञ न होते, वस्त्र न हो पाता ।
खान-पान का वैभव सब तुमसे आता ॥ॐ जय...

शुभ-गुण-मंदिर सुन्दर, क्षीरोदधि-जाता ।
रत्न चतुर्दश तुम बिन कोई नहिं पाता ॥ॐ जय...

महालक्ष्मीजी की आरती, जो कई नर गाता ।
उर आनन्द समाता, पाप शमन हो जाता ॥ॐ जय…

Glory to you, O Mother, glory to you, mother Lakshmi.

Shiva, Vishnu, and Brahma meditate on you, every day and night.

You are yourself the consort of Brahma, Rudra and Vishnu and the mother of the world.

The sage Narada sings your praises and the Sun and the Moon meditate on you.

As Durga, you grant both happiness and prosperity.

One who centers his attention on you becomes the recipient of all riddhis and siddhis, prosperity and accomplishment.

None but you dwell in the nether regions of the earth and you alone ensure good luck, bring to light the effect of action (karma), and protect all worldly treasures.

All the virtues collect themselves where you have your dwelling; with your grace and favor even the impossible becomes possible without causing any nervous agitation.

No sacrifice can be performed without you; no one can obtain any garment; it is from you that one obtains one’s sustenance.

O! Daughter of the Ocean of Milk and the beauteous temple of all propitious virtues, you are verily a living mass of all fourteen gems with which none else is endowed.

Whosoever hymns this prayer to Lakshmi is purged of his sins and experiences the ecstasy of joy.
