Vara (Maha) Lakshmi ashtotharam

Vara Maha Lakshmi ashtotharam

Translated by

P.R.Ramachander

(Varalakshmi  is the Goddess Lakshmi  who gives boons. She is worshipped during Varalakshmi Vrtha, which is a very important  penance observed by  Married ladies  on the second Friday or the Friday before the full moon in the  Tamil month of Adi(July-august), corresponding Sravana/sawan  month . It is very popular in the  states of Andhara, Karnataka  and Northern part of Tamil Nadu. Her devotees believe   that Observing vara Lakshmi vrutha   is equivalent to  worshipping  Ashta Lakshmis(Eight forms of Lakshmi)  and would bring the family  Wealth, land  , knowledge  , fame, peace  , pleasure  and strength .This is the Ashtothara manthra that is used during  the Pooja. Since Varalakshmi vrutham is  not very far away(28-8-2015)  , I believe   that reading  this translation would make those who observe the  Vrutha, understand the greatness   of the Goddess  VaraLakshmi)
