Devi Maha Lakshmi

Lakshmi Devi- Narayana's beloved consort - Lovely'Sree' - the auspicious one! Lady luck seated joyfully on a throne Lotus - with sixteen crimson red petals! Lotus buds tender held by slender fingers, Languishing on a virgin petal bed Lakshmi - the temptress awakening desire, Lakshmi - the glorious Woman! Maha Lakshmi -Goddess of wealth! Magnificent Devi! Most attractive and alluring, Mind blowing in flaming red! Maha Devi - flanked by Myriad satin petals Muslin cushion of lotus blooms Magical fingers with lotus buds! Unique profusion of pink lotuses Untouched by mud Unpolluted by dirt Undampened by the messy puddle Unperturbed by the stormy waters, Unswayed by the forceful wind, Uncircled by the weedy tares, Undaunted by the slimy creatures! O Maha Lakshmi! As you bestow me with wealth, Let me not desire for more and more, To become greedy and avaricious! Let me learn moderation, Let me live with contentment! i need to enjoy only the innate impulses of the soul To be just what I am, And experience the bliss and peace of the spirit! Let me be not dazzled by glittering objects And bang my head against a golden wall, You bestow wealth lavishly in one stroke But you can dissipate them too, in the next stroke, O Devi! Let me not be lured by the wealth that you shower Or be attracted to the power you grant! Let me attach only to you, Devi! Let me belong to you only! Let me meditate only on the oneness - Of you, me and the world! I strive to comprehend the unity of your creation! Lest I should forget, may I be constantly Reminded of it! O Mother of this world! Let me fully wipe out the notion of separateness! Bless me to surrender to you totally, To smoothly merge and dissolve into your divine being! O Maha Lakshmi!
