Ashtalakshmi Stotram

Sri Vaishnava theologian, Sri U. Ve. Vidvan Mukkur Srinivasavaradachariyar Svamikal published this prayer called Ashta Lakshmi Strotam.

Before we proceed to learn the sloka, let us look at the eight forms of Lakshmi:

Adi Lakshmi or Mahalakshmi: 'Adi' means eternal. This form of the Goddess signifies the never ending or eternal nature of the Goddess. This refers to the fact that wealth is endless. It has been there since the beginning of time and it will be there till the end of time.
Dhanya Lakshmi: 'Dhanya' means food grains. Since food is the basic necessity of our life, worshipping Dhanya Lakshmi is of utmost importance. Worshipping this form of the Goddess is necessary to obtain food and remain nourished.
Dhairya Lakshmi: 'Dhairya' means patience. Worshipping Dhairya Lakshmi gives us the strength to endure all the hardships of our lives with patience. This form of wealth is extremely important to face the good times as well as bad times with equal ease.
Gaja Lakshmi: ' Gaja' means elephant. This form of Lakshmi symbolises the vehicles that we use for transportation. It is believed that this form of Goddess Lakshmi helped Indra to regain His kingdom from the depth of the ocean.
Santana Lakshmi: 'Santan' means children. Santana Lakshmi is the Goddess of progeny and bestower of children. Children are our wealth and the basic unit of a family. So, Goddess Lakshmi is worshipped in the form of Santana Lakshmi to beget children and continue the name of the family.

Vijaya Lakshmi: 'Vijaya' means victory. Vijaya Lakshmi form of the Goddess signifies courage, fearlessness and victory in everything one does. This form of wealth strengthens our character and makes us successful in all our ventures.
Vidya Lakshmi: 'Vidya' means knowledge. To acquire all kinds of knowledge and skills, one must devotedly worship Vidya Lakshmi. 

Dhana Lakshmi: 'Dhana' means wealth in the form of money or gold. It is the usual form of wealth that is desired by most of us. By worshipping this form of Goddess Lakshmi, one can attain great riches and wealth.
