What the Lakshmi Ashtothram is
The Lakshmi Ashtothram, in full the Lakshmi Ashtottara Shatanamavali, the 108 names of Lakshmi as most households recite them, turns each name of the goddess into a salutation of its own, framed by Om and namah. It is the name-list form of the Lakshmi Ashtottara Shatanama Stotram, an anonymous traditional hymn in which the names are spoken across fourteen verses; the namavali lifts them out of the verse and puts each in the dative, so lakshmim becomes lakshmyai, 'to Lakshmi'. The list opens with Prakriti and Vikriti, nature at its source and nature in its changed forms, and closes with Bhuvaneshvari, ruler of the worlds. Along the way come Svaha and Svadha, the calls that carry offerings to the gods and to the ancestors (Names 13 and 14), Aditi and Diti, mothers of the gods and of their rivals (21 and 22), and a run from Name 41 to 52 in which ten names are built on padma, the lotus. Dipta, the shining one, and Devi each occur twice.
The Goddess asks, Shiva answers
According to its opening verses, the stotram begins with a request. The Goddess addresses Shiva as lord of the gods, knower of the three times and giver of grace to devotees, and asks to hear the hundred and eight names of Lakshmi as they truly are. Ishvara praises the question and describes what she is asking for: a hymn secret beyond secrets and hard to obtain even for the gods, the seat of the sixty-four arts, the giver of the eight siddhis beginning with anima and of the treasures that begin with Padma. He then sets the ritual frame: Mahalakshmi is the deity of the hymn, klim its seed syllable and Bhuvaneshvari its power. A meditation verse follows, picturing her lotus in hand and gracious of face, adorned with many jewels, served by Hari, Hara and Brahma, with the conch and lotus treasures beside her. Fourteen verses of names follow. The closing verses call the hymn Daridrya-mochana, the release from poverty, set these hundred and eight apart as meritorious among the thousands of names of goddesses, and say that after enjoying abundant blessings the reciter reaches sayujya, union with her. The namavali echoes this frame: Name 107, the one endowed with knowledge of past, present and future, repeats the title the Goddess gave Shiva, and the last name, Bhuvaneshvari, is the power named at the start.

The syllable people get wrong
Name 76 is śriyai (श्रियै), the dative of śrī, and the long ī of śrī becomes a short i before the ending. Say SHRI-yai, with ś and r as one cluster, not 'shree-yai' or 'shree-ai'.
When the Lakshmi Ashtothram is chanted
Weekday. Friday
Festival. Varalakshmi Vratam, as the archana of the puja
Questions
Have your chart read before you decide
Chanting is yours to do, and free. But which deity your situation calls for — and whether a mantra alone is the right response — depends on your chart. Sometimes it is; sometimes it is not.
- Over 30 years in the Guru–Sishya Parampara, from the age of five
- He reads every chart himself — 60 minutes, one to one, never delegated
- Charts are read only between sunrise and sunset, following tradition
