Dubai: ‘Sraavana masam‘ is a highly auspicious month in the Hindu philosophy and abundant with festivals. The most important festival, which we celebrate here is the Varamahalaxmee vartha.
Varalakshmi vratam is performed in the Shravana Masa, Shukla Paksha Shukravara, that is, the Friday immediately following the full moon day in the auspicious month of Shravana.
This pooja is undertaken by the women for prosperity, good health, and to wish long life for their husbands. There are eight forces or energies known as Sri (Wealth), Bhu (Earth), Sarasvati (Learning), Priti (Love), Kirti (Fame), Santi (Peace), Tushti (Pleasure) and Pushti (Strength). Each one of these forces is called a Lakshmi and all the eight forces are called the Ashta Lakshmis. The eight forms of Ashtalakshmi are – Aadi Lakshmi, Dhaanya Lakshmi, Dhairya Lakshmi, Gaja Lakshmi, Santaana Lakshmi, Vijaya Lakshmi, Vidhya Lakshmi and Dhana Lakshmi.
Lord Shiva explained to goddess Parvathi that this is the only Vratha, which gives the devotee the eight types of wealth. And hence, it is believed that, those who perform the Varalakshmi Pooja with devotion and dedication will be blessed with health, wealth and prosperity.
We seek your whole hearted support and dedicated participation for this special pooja to seek the blessings of Varamahalaxmee.
