LAKSHMI PUJA (1st NOVEMBER 2013-FRIDAY): PREPARATION, MANTRA, METHOD AND TIMING FOR POOJA: Lakshmi Puja on Dhanteras or Dhantrayodashi should be done during Pradosh Kaal which starts after sunset and approximately lasts for 2 hours and 24 minutes. We don’t advise to choose Choghadiya Muhurta to perform Dhanteras Puja as those Muhurtas are good only for travelling. The best time for Lakshmi Puja on Dhanteras is during Pradosh Kaal when Sthir Lagna prevails. Sthir means fixed i.e. not moveable. If Dhanteras Puja is done during Sthir Lagna, Lakshmiji will stay in your home; hence this time is the best for Dhanteras Pujan. Vrishabha Lagna is considered as Sthir and mostly overlaps with Pradosh Kaal during Diwali festivity. We provide exact window for Dhanteras Puja. Our Muhurta times contain Pradosh Kaal and Sthir Lagna while Trayodashi is prevailing. Dhanteras Puja is also known as Dhantrayodashi,Dhanwantari Triodasi, Yamadeep and Dhanvantri Jayanti Puja. Preparation for the Puja - One Deepak made out of atta/clay with 4 wicks - Wicks for the Deepak oil/ghee, matchstick - One shell with a hole - Flowers, roli, chawal - Water in panchpatra and a spoon - Some money - Pata & Aasan - Kheel & batasha - Dhoop (sambrani) & dhoop daan - Chopda with roli, chawal for applying tikka - Suhali, petha (shaker para) MAHA LAKSHAMI ASHTAKAM: नमस्तेऽस्तु महामाये श्रीपीठे सुरपूजिते । शङ्खचक्रगदाहस्ते महालक्ष्मि नमोऽस्तुते ॥१॥ Namastestu Mahaa-Maaye Shrii-Piitthe Sura-Puujite | Shangkha-Cakra-Gadaa-Haste Mahaalakssmi Namostute ||1|| Meaning: 1.1: (Salutations to Devi Mahalakshmi) Salutations to the Mahamaya (the Great Enchantress), Who is Worshipped by the Devas in Sri Pitha (Her Abode). 1.2: Who has the Conch, Disc and Mace in Her Hands; Salutations to that Mahalakshmi. नमस्ते गरुडारूढे कोलासुरभयंकरि । सर्वपापहरे देवि महालक्ष्मि नमोऽस्तुते ॥२॥ Namaste Garudda-Aaruuddhe Kola-Aasura-Bhayamkari | Sarva-Paapa-Hare Devi Mahaalakssmi Namostute ||2|| Meaning: 2.1: (Salutations to Devi Mahalakshmi) Salutations to the One Who Rides the Garuda, Who is the Terror to Kolasura, 2.2: The Devi who Removes All Sins; Salutations to that Mahalakshmi. सर्वज्ञे सर्ववरदे सर्वदुष्टभयंकरि। सर्वदुःखहरे देवि महालक्ष्मि नमोऽस्तुते ॥३॥ Sarvajnye Sarva-Varade Sarva-Dusstta-Bhayamkari | Sarva-Duhkha-Hare Devi Mahaalakssmi Namostute ||3|| Meaning: 3.1: (Salutations to Devi Mahalakshmi) Who is All-Knowing, Who is the Giver of All Boons, Who is the Terror to All the Wicked, 3.2: The Devi who Removes All Sorrows; Salutations to that Mahalakshmi. सिद्धिबुद्धिप्रदे देवि भुक्तिमुक्तिप्रदायिनि । मन्त्रमूर्ते सदा देवि महालक्ष्मि नमोऽस्तुते ॥४॥ Siddhi-Buddhi-Prade Devi Bhukti-Mukti-Pradaayini | Mantra-Muurte Sadaa Devi Mahaalakssmi Namostute ||4|| Meaning: 4.1: (Salutations to Devi Mahalakshmi) The Devi who Gives Success and Intelligence and Gives Wordly Enjoyment and Liberation, 4.2: The Devi who Always abides as the Embodiment of Mantra; Salutations to that Mahalakshmi. आद्यन्तरहिते देवि आद्यशक्तिमहेश्वरि । योगजे योगसम्भूते महालक्ष्मि नमोऽस्तुते ॥५॥ Aady-Anta-Rahite Devi Aadya-Shakti-Maheshvari | Yogaje Yoga-Sambhuute Mahaalakssmi Namostute ||5|| Meaning: 5.1: (Salutations to Devi Mahalakshmi) The Devi who is Without Beginning and End, Who is the Primal Energy, and the Great Goddess, 5.2: Who is Born of Yoga, Who is United with Yoga; Salutations to that Mahalakshmi. स्थूलसूक्ष्ममहारौद्रे महाशक्तिमहोदरे । महापापहरे देवि महालक्ष्मि नमोऽस्तुते ॥६॥ Sthuula-Suukssma-Mahaaroudre Mahaa-Shakti-Mahodare | Mahaa-Paapa-Hare Devi Mahaalakssmi Namostute ||6|| Meaning: 6.1: (Salutations to Devi Mahalakshmi) Who is both Gross and Subtle and Most Terrible, Who is With Great Power and Prosperity, 6.2: The Devi who Removes All Sins; Salutations to that Mahalakshmi. पद्मासनस्थिते देवि परब्रह्मस्वरूपिणि । परमेशि जगन्मातर्महालक्ष्मि नमोऽस्तुते ॥७॥ Padma-Aasana-Sthite Devi Para-Brahma-Svaruupinni | Parameshi Jagan-Maatar-Mahaalakssmi Namostute ||7|| Meaning: 7.1: (Salutations to Devi Mahalakshmi) The Devi Who is Seated on a Lotus, Who is of the Nature of Supreme Brahman, 7.2: Who is the Supreme Lord and the Mother of the Universe; Salutations to that Mahalakshmi. श्वेताम्बरधरे देवि नानालङ्कारभूषिते । जगत्स्थिते जगन्मातर्महालक्ष्मि नमोऽस्तुते ॥८॥ Shveta-Ambara-Dhare Devi Naana-Alangkaara-Bhuussite | Jagatsthite Jagan-Maatar-Mahaalakssmi Namostute ||8|| Meaning: 8.1: (Salutations to Devi Mahalakshmi) The Devi who is Dressed in White Garments, Who is Adorned with Various Ornaments, 8.2: Who Abides in this Universe and is the Mother of the Universe; Salutations to that Mahalakshmi. महालक्ष्म्यष्टकं स्तोत्रं यः पठेद्भक्तिमान्नरः । सर्वसिद्धिमवाप्नोति राज्यं प्राप्नोति सर्वदा ॥९॥ Mahaalakssmy-Assttakam Stotram Yah Patthed-Bhaktimaan-Narah | Sarva-Siddhim-Avaapnoti Raajyam Praapnoti Sarvadaa ||9|| 9.1: Whoever recites this Mahalakshmi Ashtakam Stotram with Devotion, ... 9.2: ...
