Lakshmi Devi’s Sthuthi

The Lord in the form of Kamadeva is worshipped by Lakshmi Devi and the 366 sons and daughters of Samvatsara Prajapathi.

The prayer says, “Ordinary women worship you and pray to get someone else as husband. They do not realize that their husband cannot protect them or their children or their wealth or their life. The one who is already captivated in the mouth of a python, how can he save someone else? Wise women woo Bhagavan only, who alone is the saviour!

The ignorant ones do not mind hurting others while aspiring for their own comfort and pleasure. How can they be protectors?”.

Lakshmi Devi continues, “when a devotee has Sakama Bhakthi, Bhagavan grants what he aspires, but it will eventually perish. But when he has Nishkama Bhakthi, he will be blessed with all that he needs”.

Now, Goddess Lakshmi gives a warning too, “even Gods take penance to possess me. But only those surrendered devotees of Bhagavan get even a glimpse from me”.
