Sriman Madhavakannan,

I am a silent reader of your postings.

Could you please let me know where can I purchase a copy of the following book in India.

Thanks and Regards,

Jayakrishna.

> Sri Stuti in twenty-five slokas is in praise of Lakshmi, the Supreme

>Bhoga-arcaa and Laya-arcaa. In the form of Kaamya-arcaa she is installed in
>an idol form in separate shrine in the temple when people worship Her and
>get all their desires fulfilled here and hereafter. In the Bhoga-arcaa form
>She is by the side of Bhagavan for His delectation and sport in the main

>adorns the right side of the brosd chest of Bhagavan?s body itself as
>compassion-incarnate and prevails upon Him to have tolerance and forgiveness
>towards the erring Jivas. A mere glance of Hers is enough to make persons
>rich, virtuous and pious. Like Bhagavan himself, She is omnipresent,
>omni-scient and omni-potent and takes birth with Him in all His incarnations
>assuming suitable forms.

> Such is the greatness of Lakshmi portrayed by Swami Desika in Sri Stuti.
>The first ten slokas describe the greatness of the Svaroopa of Lakshmi;
>slokas eleven to fourteen refer to Her vigrahas; fifteen to nineteen present
>Her as the bestower of all purusharthas, and the last six deal with the way
>of surrender at Her feet. Sloka thirteen gives a beautiful description of
>the coronation of Lakshmi as the Supreme Deity. Sri Desika concludes the
>Stotra with the phala-sruti that a mere reading of it will dispel all the
>evils of Kali-yuga and make persons sovereigns of all auspicious things.
