"MAY MAA LAKSHMI BLESS US ALL!!," Chaitaneya

[Guest guest]

Dear Chaitaneya,

Your Deepawali blessing is much appreciate. Thank you for an

amazingly beautiful translation of the Arati that Linda found is

wonderful! What a wonderful gift that you offer, not only to Linda,

but to all the DMC (Devi Mandir Club) members.

Namaste

Re:To Parvati on Diwali Arati Tranlation

HAPPY DEEPAWALI. MAY IT BRING JOY, GOOD HEALTH AND WEALTH TO

EVERYONE!Here is a free translation of the Aarti. I hope it will be

useful.:"Victory to Mother Lakshmi, Mother, victory to Mother

LakshmiYou are worshipped everyday by Shiva, Vishnu,

VidhaataaBrahmaani, Rudraanii, Kamalaa, You are the Mother of the

UniverseYou are worshipped by Sun and Moon, Rishi Narada sings your

praiseYour Durga form always gives wealth and happinessWhoever

worships you gets wealth of divine powersYou pervade nether lands

too, and you bestow all the good thingsYou are giver of the fruit of

all actions, you are protector of world treasureIn whichever house

you live( are worshipped), all virtues too come there to reside A man

is able to do what he could not (do before), and He is never perplexed

or overwhelmedWithout you there can be no oblation (or religious

sacrifice), (and) no one can get (even) the clothes to wearThe

grandeur of food and feast, everything comes with your graceGood

virtues, beautiful house, milk, curds and progeny Gems, jewels, every

thing are you, no one can get anything (without your grace)Whoever

sings the Aartii of Mother LakshmiIs filled with ecstasy of bliss

within and all his sins disappear"MAY MAA LAKSHMI BLESS US

ALL!!Chaitaneya, nierika@a...
