About the Author

Swami Satyananda Saraswati is considered to be one of the foremost Vedic scholars and Sanskrit translators in the West. He is the author of nearly 60 books in nine different languages representing a significant contribution to the understanding of Hinduism and Vedic religious practices.

Swamiji comes from the Dashnami lineage of Adi Shankaracharya, and belongs to the Saraswati tribe of renunciates and scholars who are living the life of a teacher and a knower of wisdom, worshiping with both spiritual knowledge and devotion. His Guru, Swami Amritananda Saraswati, initiated him into the Vedic Knowledge, Sanskrit, and the Chandi Path and sacred fire ceremony as his primary system of spiritual discipline in 1971.

He practiced the recitation of the Chandi Path in the Himalayan snow and in the hot springs of Bakreswar. Through this rigorous penance, he became impervious to the influences of heat and cold. Through his experiences walking the length and breadth of the Himalayas over 15 years, Swamiji fell in love with Sanskrit and became proficient in numerous languages including Bengali and Hindi. Wherever he went he would learn the local systems of worship and inspire those around him to participate. Swamiji’s expertise and experience spans many different religious traditions. His realizations and teachings make him a living example of Ramakrishna’s Gospel, “as many as there are individuals, so many are the paths to God”.

In 1979, Swamiji met Shree Maa when he was performing a vow of worship in a small temple in the interior of West Bengal. They toured India, spreading their divine love and inspiration by performing pujas, homas, and sharing their realizations, and teaching their methods of spiritual practice. In 1984 they came to America and established the Devi Mandir, where he and Shree Maa shine their beacon of light from Napa, California. Today, they share all their resources to give every individual an opportunity to access these spiritual teachings.

This book presents the 1000 names of Lakshmi along with Her puja, nyasa and japa. I enjoy reading the names and learning more and more each time from the translation. I strongly recommend this book to all children of Divine Mother.

We did Lakshmi Puja at a friend’s house using Swami Satyananda’s Laksmi Puja book. It was a wonderful and inspiring experience. I have been using the book for my personal worship ever since then and I encourage all seekers to read the names of Lakshmi Mata and learn more about Her by reading this book. Jai Lakshmi!

If you want prosperity, fulfillment, good health and the ultimate attainment, you must worship Lakshmi. This presentation of Lakshmi’s worship is the best way to share your love and devotion.

By Swami Dindayalagiri,

Lakshmi is known as the Goddess of Wealth. Swami Satyananda’s translations convey so much of that inspiration. I knew him when he walked the footpaths of the Himalayas. Now he is sharing the wisdom that he found. We are so proud of his contribution. His work is the epitome of wisdom and devotion.
