Dear All,
Greetings and Namaste. As the second instalment for ensuing Navaratri, I am happy to share a rare Lakshmi Sahasranama said to be from Padma Puranam and was created by Lord Vishnu Himself. The Phalashruti mentions that one who prays both Lord Vishnu and Lakshmi with this Sahasranama gets poverty burnt away and begets all kinds of wealth.
There are at least 4 Lakshmi Sahasranamas I know of and it looks like there is yet another Lakshmi Sahasranama in Padma Puranam itself titled Ashtadashabhuja Mahalakshmi Sahasranama (which I am yet get) Though there are individual Ashtottarams for the eight Lakshmi forms (Ashtalakshmi), I am not aware of any Sahasranamas for these - in fact, I am not aware of hymns on these forms apart from Dhyana Shlokas. There is a hymn on Siddha(I) Lakshmi.
As mentioned before, Vinayaka Tantram contains Siddhi/Buddhi Ashtottarams/Trishatis/Sahasranamas/Hrudayams and Kavachams. Here Siddhi is same as Lakshmi and Buddhi is same as Sarasvati. In addition, this Tantra also treats Lord Ganapati as Sharadesha.
As I had to cram this Sahasranama encoding/proof-reading in a short time, I am afraid I have not done full justice to proof-reading. Apologies if there are errors.
Also, many people wrote to me that they are not able to download specific language version in the last two postings. It looks like their own mail servers are truncating the file names and suffixes. While I will endeavour to shorten the filenames hereafter, the convention I have been following is:
<File Name>.pdf - Sanskrit; <FileName> - TAM.pdf - Tamil; - TEL for Telugu, -KAN for Kannada, -MAL for Malayalam, -ENG for English.
May We Pray To Goddesses Durga/Lakshmi/Saraswati during this Navaratri Puja.
