Sri Kamala Stotram

Śrī Kamalā Stotram (श्री कमला स्तोत्रम् )

Prologue:- Śrī Kamalātmikā is the tenth Mahāvidya and is referred to as the tantric Mahālakṣmi. She is the bestower of all wealth, material and spiritual. There is absolutely nothing that cannot be obtained with Her mantra japa and recitation of hyms dedicated to Her. This is one such hymn called Śrī Kamalā Stotram from the Śrī Viṣṇu Purāṇa, which can bestow all wealth, health and prosperity that one could hope for. Those facing financial troubles of any kind, or in need of greater wealth, should take advantage of this hymn and recite it with great devotion and faith. The Divine Mother will not fail any of Her devotees and this hymn is highly coveted to produce the desired results. One must also be very careful in what they wish for and not fall in the trap of the cosmic illusion Mahāmāyā and thereby accumulate karmas, which do not bring benefit towards the ultimate goal of spiritual emancipation.

Śrī Kamalātmikā is also referred to as sthira/fixed Lakṣmi, indicating stable wealth and prosperity. Since the Goddess Lakṣmi, is considered to be very mobile and seldom remain stable at one place, worship to Goddess Kamalātmikā, helps in keeping all our wealth and belongings safe and growing.
