Skanda Purāṇa, Sanat-kumāra Saṃhitā
Lakṣmī Sahasranāma
श्रीलक्ष्मीसहस्रनामस्तोत्रम्
Sanat-kumāra (revealed to the sages)·Purāṇic·1,000 names·Performed as Sahasranāma Archana on every major Lakṣmī festival — Varalakṣmī Vrata, Dīpāvalī, Mother's Day; recited as pārāyaṇa each Friday by householders in the Sampradāya; sponsored individually for the welfare of family members
The most comprehensive nāmāvalī of Mahālakṣmī in the entire Purāṇic corpus — one thousand sacred names organized across approximately eighty-five ślokas, structured for both pārāyaṇa recitation and arcanā worship. Recited in its full form, the Sahasranāma traces the Mother's manifestation across cosmos, scripture, and the inner life of every devotee. This work is being prepared as JETNJ's flagship Sahasranāma offering at /lakshmi/sahasranama.
The Lakṣmī Sahasranāma — the thousand names of the Divine Mother — is preserved in the Sanat-kumāra Saṃhitā of the Skanda Purāṇa and is the most comprehensive contemplation of Mahālakṣmī in the entire Purāṇic corpus. One thousand sacred names, organized across approximately eighty-five ślokas, structured so that the worshipper may either recite the nāmāvalī as pārāyaṇa or perform arcanā by uttering each name with the offering of a flower at the feet of the Mūrti. Sanat-kumāra, the eternal youth-sage, transmitted these names to the assembled ṛṣis as the supreme litany by which the Mother's full ontological sweep may be approached.
The doctrinal weight of this work in the Śrīvaiṣṇava Sampradāya is unmatched. Where the 108-name Aṣṭottara contemplates the essential guṇas of the Mother, the Sahasranāma traces Her manifestation across every domain — the cosmos that She animates as Prakṛti, the Veda that She illumines as Medhā, the household She blesses as Gṛhalakṣmī, the throne She shares as the eternal consort of Sriman Nārāyaṇa. JETNJ is preparing this work as its flagship Sahasranāma offering at /lakshmi/sahasranama, with all thousand names presented in nine languages including transliteration, English meaning, and śloka-level grouping.
