Mantra & aarti
Composer: Mukeshwar Nagar.
When to sing it: During Mahalakshmi/Devi puja-aarti — the Margashirsh Guruvar vrat, Lakshmi Pujan on Diwali, Chaitragaur and Jyeshtha Gauri worship, and the daily aarti at the Karvir (Kolhapur) Mahalakshmi temple.
Meaning (brief): O Mahalakshmi, you pervade all that is gross and subtle; you dwell in Karvir (Kolhapur) and are the mother of the gods and sages, giver of boons, dear consort of Murhar (Vishnu); you are the primal power who gave birth to Brahma himself; you, the daughter of the ocean of milk, carry your devotees across the hard-to-cross sea of worldly life and wash away the misdeeds written by Chaturanan (Brahma).
The words and tune can vary slightly by household or temple tradition. This text follows a traditional household Aarti Sangrah booklet.
