Om Jai Lakshmi Mata Aarti Lyrics
ओम जय लक्ष्मी माता, मैया जय लक्ष्मी माता।
तुमको निशिदिन सेवत, हरि विष्णु विधाता॥
ओम जय लक्ष्मी माता॥
उमा, रमा, ब्रह्माणी, तुम ही जग-माता।
सूर्य-चंद्रमा ध्यावत, नारद ऋषि गाता॥
ओम जय लक्ष्मी माता॥
दुर्गा रुप निरंजनी, सुख सम्पत्ति दाता।
जो कोई तुमको ध्यावत, ऋद्धि-सिद्धि धन पाता॥
ओम जय लक्ष्मी माता॥
तुम पाताल-निवासिनि, तुम ही शुभदाता।
कर्म-प्रभाव-प्रकाशिनी, भवनिधि की त्राता॥
ओम जय लक्ष्मी माता॥
जिस घर में तुम रहतीं, सब सद्गुण आता।
सब सम्भव हो जाता, मन नहीं घबराता॥
ओम जय लक्ष्मी माता॥
तुम बिन यज्ञ न होते, वस्त्र न कोई पाता।
खान-पान का वैभव, सब तुमसे आता॥
ओम जय लक्ष्मी माता॥
शुभ-गुण मंदिर सुंदर, क्षीरोदधि-जाता।
रत्न चतुर्दश तुम बिन, कोई नहीं पाता॥
ओम जय लक्ष्मी माता॥
महालक्ष्मीजी की आरती, जो कोई जन गाता।
उर आनन्द समाता, पाप उतर जाता॥
ओम जय लक्ष्मी माता॥
Om Jai Lakshmi Mata,Maiya Jai Lakshmi Mata।
Tumako Nishidin Sevat,Hari Vishnu Vidhata॥
Om Jai Lakshmi Mata॥
Uma Rama Brahmani,Tum Hi Jag-Mata।
Surya-Chandrama DhyavatNaarad Rishi Gata॥
Om Jai Lakshmi Mata॥
Durga Roop Niranjani,Sukh Sampatti Data।
Jo Koi Tumako Dhyavat,Riddhi-Siddhi Dhan Pata॥
Om Jai Lakshmi Mata॥
Tum Patal-Nivasini,Tum Hi Shubhdata।
Karma-Prabhav-Prakashini,Bhavanidhi Ki Trata॥
Om Jai Lakshmi Mata॥
Jis Ghar Mein Tum Rahti,Sab Sadgun Aata।
Sab Sambhav Ho Jata,Man Nahi Ghabrata॥
Om Jai Lakshmi Mata॥
Tum Bin Yagya Na Hote,Vastra Na Koi Pata।
Khan-Pan Ka Vaibhav,Sab Tumase Aata॥
Om Jai Lakshmi Mata॥
Shubh-Gun Mandir Sundar,Kshirodadhi-Jata।
Ratna Chaturdash Tum Bin,Koi Nahi Pata॥
Om Jai Lakshmi Mata॥
Mahalakshmi Ji Ki Aarti,Jo Koi Jan Gata।
Ur Anand Samata,Paap Utar Jata॥
Om Jai Lakshmi Mata॥

The aarti also mentions other forms of the divine feminine, like Uma (Parvati) and Brahmaani, emphasizing Lakshmi’s all-encompassing nature. It’s a beautiful reminder that prosperity comes in many forms, not just material wealth
