Vijayalakshmi - Nirvana Academy on Instagram: "‼️Important practice instructions given below👇🏻 ✨Authentic Chanting of Mahalakshmi-ashtakam for financial stability 🪷 Kindly check the previous video for details on Mahalakshmi-Sadhana🪷 📿 PRACTICE INSTRUCTIONS 📿 ✅ About the Phalashruti: It is completely fine if you chant only the first 8 shlokas and then conclude with “Iti Shri Mahalakshmyashtakam.” If you have more time, you may continue with the Phalashruti🪷 as well. Both are acceptable🙌🏻. We have included it because it is traditionally part of the stotram & should not be lost over time. ✅ About the practice: As mentioned in the previous video, step-1 is only one-time process. Step-2 is the daily practice🧘🏻‍♀️. So while the kumkumam packet remains in the altar🕉️ as it is, the chanting of Mahalakshmi Ashtakam should continue every day. ✅ About difference in script: In the pāda “mahālakṣmī namo'stu tē,” there is a grammatical discrepancy regarding whether the form should be chanted with hrasva (short) or dīrgha (long). ✨Hrasva form: महालक्ष्मि नमोस्तुते (mahālakṣmi namo'stu tē) ✨Dīrgha form: महालक्ष्मी नमोSस्तु ते (mahālakṣmī namo'stu tē) We practice & teach the dīrgha form (महालक्ष्मी) because it is considered as the sambodhanam of महालक्ष्मीः (mahālakṣmīḥ) form of noun. (A little technical explanation, kindly ignore if you are not aware of Samskrita grammar🤗) 📌Check the pinned comment for the script of the stotram . . #Chanting #MahalakshmiAshtakam #LakshmiMata #sanskrit #StotraChanting"
