Maha Lakshmi Aarti Lyrics — Hindi, English & Transliteration
Introduction: The Sacred Aarti of Maa Maha Lakshmi
Maha Lakshmi Aarti, popularly known as Om Jai Lakshmi Mata, is one of the most beloved devotional songs sung during Lakshmi Puja on Diwali, Dhanteras, Varalakshmi Vrat, Fridays, and other auspicious occasions. This aarti glorifies Goddess Lakshmi as the divine consort of Lord Vishnu, the bestower of wealth, prosperity, happiness, wisdom, and spiritual abundance.
The aarti invokes her various forms (Uma, Rama, Brahmani, Durga) and describes how gods like Surya, Chandra, Narada, and Vishnu himself worship her. Singing or listening to this aarti with devotion is believed to remove financial obstacles, bring peace to the household, grant riddhi-siddhi (prosperity and accomplishments), and invite Maa Lakshmi’s blessings into the home.

The aarti is usually performed with a camphor or ghee lamp (aarti thali) while waving it in circular motions before the deity. It is often followed by the 108 Names of Lakshmi or Sri Sukta.
