lalitachandika.org/post/september-2020-sankalpa-maha-lakshmi

Our Beloved Family,

In the month of September we have a new sankalpa – this month we will worship Maha
Lakshmi.

In the lunar month of Bhadrapada (August-September) there is a special 16 day festival

called the Mahalakshmi Vrat in which devotees perform many austerities to attain the
grace of Maha Lakshmi.

Worshipping Goddess Lakshmi in this month will bring the grace of Ashtalakshmi, the
eight forms of Lakshmi Devi:

Adi Lakshmi: continuous flow of wealth and prosperity

Dhana Lakshmi: wealth of income, comfort, virtue, and character

Dhanya Lakshmi: wealth of grain and health

 Dhairya Lakshmi: wealth of patience, spiritual strength and courage

Gaja Lakshmi: wealth of animals, power, royalty

Santan Lakshmi: wealth of desirable family, children, social connections

Vijay Lakshmi: wealth of victory to over come all hurdles on path, strength

Vidya Lakshmi: wealth of wisdom, knowledge, arts, sciences

Shree Maa and Swamiji are requesting for you all to chant the Lakshmi Asthakam and
contemplate its meaning. Pray to Mahalakshmi to bestow grace onto you and your
family.

Please begin chanting one time per day:
