GODDESS LAKSHMI
The Goddess who emerged from churned billows
of milky deep; the deity who bestows
on devotees, eternal affluence
and bliss; the Queen of Vaikunta, who reins
the worlds and Lord Vishnu’s vivid domains
that holy Mother, let remain in my
spirit and thought as the Guardian Ally
Ensconced on a Lotus bloom, in Lotus posture,
O’ Lotus eyed, O’ coral lipped and smeared
with pure white sandalwood pastes, O’ Mother!
Diffusing efflorescent smiles at floral tributes,
oblations and holy ablutions by devout
elephants, flanking You, O’ Mother!
Thy moistened Lotus feet, with sprinkled
crystalline drizzle, let ablate our minds
off sins and thoughts obscene, Oh Mother!
Grieving lives, deprived and needy brothers
seek thy boon, thy alms and love, O’ Mother!
Grace our homes, our hearts and thoughts and immerse
our ill-bred minds in showers of virtuous nectar.

When Lakshmi enters the house
One does not quite come to know
But when Lakshmi leaves the house
You sure do feel the jhatka.
All women are regarded
As the form of Goddess Lakshmi
But alas Goddess Lakshmi
Even left her Lord, the Lord Vishnu
Wonder how long can this Lakshmi
Remain at one place
And shower her blessings
On the deserving
When Goddess Saraswati blesses one
She stays with the person for atleast a lifetime
When Goddess Durga blesses one
A person may feel her presence and her blessings
Throughout his life
But wonder of wonders
You never know whether Goddess Lakshmi
Would ever bless you forever
For she is the most fickle
And she is temporary
She comes and goes
And is also prompt to curse
Those who speak bad about her
So deprived of wealth
You can’t even complain
There is simply no remedy.
Very elegant and beautiful prayer in English
In auspicious Sanskrit Verse style and meaning.
Lovely attempt & effect
Commendable indeed
Liked immensely
