Shri Mahalakshmi Ashtakam
Mahalakshmi, who is the consort of Vishnu is worshipped as goddess of wealth by the Hindus.

She resides on the chest of Maha Vishnu as “Sri Vatsa”. It was she who took birth as Seetha and Rukmni. This very simple prayer is very ancient and has been chanted by generations for solving all their problems.
