Om Jai Lakshmi Mata, the traditional Lakshmi Aarti with Hindi lyrics, meaning, and guidance for Diwali and daily worship.

Significance

This aarti is sung during Lakshmi Puja, especially during Diwali and other Friday or prosperity- focused observances. Its central teaching is that prosperity is most auspicious when it supports family, generosity, ethical work, and spiritual steadiness.

Lyrics

ॐ जय लक्ष्मी माता, मैया जय लक्ष्मी माता।
तुमको निशदिन सेवत, हर विष्णु दाता॥

उमा रमा ब्रह्माणी, तुम जग जननी।
सूर्य चन्द्रमा ध्यावत, नारद ऋषि मुनि॥

दुर्गा रूप निरंजनी, सुख सम्पत्ति दाता।
जो कोई तुमको ध्यावत, ऋद्धि सिद्धि पाता॥

तुम पाताल निवासिनी, तुम ही शुभदाता।
कर्म प्रभाव प्रकाशिनी, भवनिधि की त्राता॥

जिस घर तुम रहतीं, सब सद्गुण आता।
सब संभव हो जाता, मन नहीं घबराता॥

तुम बिन यज्ञ न होवे, वस्त्र न कोई पावे।
खान-पान का वैभव, सब तुमसे आवे॥

शुभगुण मंदिर सुन्दर, क्षीरोदधि जाता।
रत्न चतुर्दश तुम बिन, कोई नहीं पाता॥

महालक्ष्मी जी की आरती, जो कोई नर गावे।
उर आनन्द समाता, पाप उतर जावे॥

Meaning

Victory to Mother Lakshmi, who is served each day by Vishnu. You are the mother of the world and are remembered by the Sun, Moon, sages, and divine powers. You bring auspiciousness, prosperity, good qualities, and the strength to overcome fear. The closing prayer asks that devotion fill the heart and that harmful actions fall away.

Lakshmi Aarti names and regional versions

Readers may search for this prayer as Lakshmi Aarti, Laxmi Ji Ki Aarti, Aarti Lakshmi Ji Ki, Mata Lakshmi Aarti, Mahalaxmi Ji Ki Aarti, or Om Jai Lakshmi Mata. These names commonly refer to the same widely sung devotional form, although printed lyrics, pronunciation, and the order of a few lines can vary across regions and households. When your family or temple uses a different recension, follow that living tradition respectfully.

The central prayer welcomes prosperity that is joined with good conduct. It is not only a request for money. Lakshmi is associated with nourishment, health, beauty, knowledge, household harmony, honest work, and the ability to give. Singing the aarti can therefore be followed by a practical act of gratitude: sharing food, paying someone fairly, reducing waste, or caring for the place where the family lives.

How to learn the Aarti

Begin with the Devanagari lyrics and listen to a slow recitation. Use the transliteration for the opening lines, then learn one stanza at a time. Read the English meaning after singing so that pronunciation and understanding develop together. You do not need an expensive altar or a fixed number of repetitions; a safe lamp, a clean space, and attentive devotion are enough for a simple home practice.
