How to Chant सरसिजनिलये (महालक्ष्मी ध्यान श्लोक)
Instructions
Sit before an image of Mahalakshmi, light a ghee lamp and offer red or white lotus or other flowers. Recite this verse with devotion, visualising the Goddess seated on the lotus, robed in white, holding lotuses. It is often chanted as the opening dhyana before a fuller Lakshmi worship, the Sri Suktam or the Mahalakshmi Ashtakam, and may be repeated 9 or 108 times for prosperity.
Spiritual Significance
Devotees hold that even this one short verse, recited daily with sincerity before the lamp on a Friday or at Diwali, draws the gracious presence of Mahalakshmi into the home, for it asks of her nothing but that she 'be gracious' — and to the Mother of abundance such simple, trusting devotion is said to be dearest of all.
Origin & History
Source: Traditional Mahalakshmi dhyana shloka
Author: Traditional
This verse is one of the most familiar dhyana shlokas of Goddess Mahalakshmi, recited at the opening of her worship to fix her auspicious form in the mind's eye. It draws together the classic emblems of Lakshmi — the lotus seat, the lotuses in her hands, the pure white raiment, the fragrant garlands, her place at the side of Vishnu, and her power to bless all the three worlds with prosperity — and turns them into a single tender prayer for her grace.
