Emam wrote this melody for me, Mahalakshmi (the singer). Since it was aptly titled “Song for Mahalakshmi”, I chose to write the lyrics to the great goddess Mahalakshmi based on sacred text and my own experience with this divine force at the center of life. Goddess Mahalakshmi's mystery is unfathomable; She creates all life from the void, as It Is. She is the combination of Kali, Lakshmi, and Saraswati. She is also depicted as a goddess like Durga, with 18 arms, fierce to the causes of our suffering and full of love. If you ask who She is, people will tell you many different things! However, mostly, people will reference money, as “Lakshmi” is the goddess of wealth. “Maha” means great, and the greatest wealth we can truly receive in this life is to find Her presence in everything. This song serves as a window into Her mystery and a call to Her for guidance and protection.
