Mahalaxmi Prarthana

This is verse from the Devi Bhagavatam which describes the Goddess of Abundance Mahalaxmi, worshipped as the Universal Mother or the Mother Goddess.

This verse is taken as a Prarthana or Prayer recited in praise of Mahalaxmi.  Mahalaxmi as the mother goddess for all round happiness in life, and not only for the purpose of wealth accumulation. All round happiness and bliss also include wealth.

This Prayer is suitable for those who find it difficult to recite lengthy Chalisas and Stotras. I have given the English translation and meaning for better understanding.
