Sri Mookambika Ashtakam

The Meaning of this Great Sthothram :

The following Sthothram from the ancient Skanda Purana is in adoration of Sri Mookambika (Kolapureshi). If chanted daily, the sages assure, it will bring Divine guidance, harmony and prosperity
O Mother of the Universe, the Supreme Brhaman, we prostrate before Thee, who is worshipped by Siva, Upendra, Brahma and other Deities. Prostrations to thee who fulfils the desires of those taking refuge in Thee. Prostrations to Thee O Mahaalakshmi, the Goddess of Kolapura.

Lord Brahma creates this universe. Lord Siva annithilates it. Lord Vishnu protests it. But O Mahaalakshmi, it is with the benign look of Thee, whose form is Power itself, they perform all those acts. Prostrations to Thee, O Mahalakshmi, the Goddess of Kolapura.

This whole universe is permeated with Thy Divne Maaya, while, O Devi, Thou bear the entire universe playfully in thy womb. Thou reside in every being in the form of intelligence. Prostrations to Thee O Mahalakshmi, Goddess of Kolapura.

O Devi, as Thou cast thy benign glance on all Thy devotees, Thou art called Mahalakshmi. Prostrations to Thee O Mahalakshmi, Goddess of Kolapura.

Those who lack intelligence and power of expression pray earnestly for Thy Grace and Thou raise them endowing them with talents and wisdom. Therefore Thou art Kumari. Prostrations to Thee O Mahaalakshmi, Goddess of Kolapura.

Srichakra, the king of the mystic symbols, which emanated from the very spledour of Lord Mahavishnu, Lord Siva and other Deities, is Thy Form. Prostrations to Thee O Mahaalakshmi Goddess of Kolapura, who resides in the lotus heart of the Mahaa Yogi Kola Maharshi.

Prostrations to Thee O Devi who hold in Thy four arms the conch, the discus and the mystic symbols Abhaya and Abheeshta Mudra-s. Prostration to Thee, Mother, who sits in mystic pose of Padmaasana. Prostration toThee, the graceful refuge of all, the golden hued, the Blissful. Prostrations to Thee O Mahaalakshmi, Godess of Kolapura.

The Grace of Sri Mookambika will bless those who chant everyday this great Sthothram that emanated from the devoted hearts of all the Deva-s with prosperity and knowledge. Know this to certain
