FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Om Jai Lakshmi Mata is the most widely sung devotional aarti dedicated to Goddess Lakshmi - the goddess of wealth, prosperity, fortune and abundance; the eternal consort of Lord Vishnu. It praises her as the mother of the universe who is also Uma/Parvati, Rama and Brahmani, and as the source of all abundance, virtues and auspiciousness. It is the standard aarti performed during Diwali Lakshmi Puja and on Fridays across all of India.

Lakshmi Aarti is most prominently performed on Diwali evening during the Lakshmi Puja - the most important annual celebration of Goddess Lakshmi. It is also performed on Fridays (Lakshmi's day), on Sharad Purnima (full moon in Kartik, when Lakshmi is said to walk the earth), throughout the Kartik month, and during Navratri. Many Hindu families sing this aarti daily at home in their evening puja as a household tradition.

'Om' is the primordial sacred syllable representing the supreme consciousness. 'Jai' means victory or glory - expressing praise and reverence. 'Lakshmi' is the goddess of wealth, beauty and prosperity. 'Mata' means 'Mother.' So 'Om Jai Lakshmi Mata' means: 'Om! Victory to - glory be to - Mother Lakshmi!' - an exaltation of the goddess as the supreme divine mother who bestows all forms of wealth and well-being. The aarti also identifies her as Uma (Parvati), Rama and Brahmani - the three shaktis (divine feminine powers) united in one.

Regular performance of Lakshmi Aarti is believed to invite the goddess's blessings of Ashta Lakshmi - the eight forms of Lakshmi representing wealth, grain, courage, victory, knowledge, progeny, elephants and spiritual riches. Devotees believe it removes poverty and financial obstacles, brings harmony and abundance to the household, and purifies the home environment. The act of singing with a lit diya (lamp) is itself a form of surrendering the ego and expressing gratitude to the divine mother.
