Adi Sankaracarya was born at Kaladi during the eight century at atime when Sanatana Dharma was at state.
Nirisvara vada was at its peak. Superstition was highest. Animalsacrifices were furious and dreaded, internecine fights between the worshippersof Sakti, Surya, Ganapati, Visnu and Siva took ugly turn i.e., the Sakteya, theSoura, the Ganapataya.The vaisna and Saiva cults lost their mutual identity andunderstanding.It was Sankaracarya whocemented the bonds among all the five cults by instituting panacayatanpujaincorporating all the five Gods and making every body understand that worshipof one God amounts to worship of all by his Advaita Siddhanta.
He established five peettahs one at Sringeri in the south atKarnataka for the propagation of Yajurveda, the second on the East at Puri inOrissa for Rkveda and third at Dwaraka for Sama Veda in the West at Gujarat andthe fourth at Badari in North in Uttar Pradesh for Atharvana Veda.These four pittahs are effectivelyfunctioning even to day as per the priciples and procedures laid down byBhagavatpada Sri Sankaracarya.Sankaracarya during his Brahmacari Bhikshatana one day visited the houseof a poor Brahmin lady, whose husband also went to the village for Bhiksha andnothing was available in the house to offer.She was very much upset and worried that she could not offer any thingto such a great person who came to her house.She earnestly searched for some thing to be given in her house.
He recited twenty two slokas in praise of Goddess Lakshmi Who wasvery much pleased and appeared (Satkshathkara) before Sankaracarya and askedfor his cause and all of prayer.
Sankaracarya pleaded her to grant riches to the Brahmin lady.
Goddess Lakshmi said that this Brahmin lady did not qualify to getany riches in this life as she did not to do any charities in her previous lifeand carry consideration and she deserves sufferance and justified her stand ofnot confering any wealth on her.
Sankaracarya while accepting her sand replied that in this lifeshe gave him Amla fruit with very great reverence inspiteof not having anything due toher extreme poverty and this act ofher alone will justify to showerriches on her.
Hearing upon this Goddess Lakshmi was greatly moved and immenselypleased with the advocacy of the argument of Sri Sankaracarya and showeredinstantly golden rain of Amla fruits (Emblic myrobalan).
Thus the stotra of Sankaracarya towards Goddess Lakshmi wassacred, famous and popular known as Kanakadhara Stotra.Bhagavatpada Sankaracarya’s Kanakadhara
Lakshmi in her manifestation is Arogya Lakshmi (giver of health),Keerti Lakshmi (bestower of name and fame), Santana Lakshmi (blesses childrenand continuing progeny), Vijaya Lakshmi (ensures victory in all the efforts), DhanaLakshmi (Showers continuing wealth, Dhanya Lakshmi (restores abundant crops),Moksha Lakshmi (grants liberation), Sowbhagya Lakshmi (unending harmony andauspiciousness), Santa Lakshmi (giving peace).Thus she is apparently one in all the eight forms (Ashta Lakshmi) whoalso confers Ashta Siddhis, which are Anima, Mahima, Garima, Laghima, Prapti,Prakamya, Eesitva and Vasitva.
Sankaracarya with (Lokanugra Drusti) eye on the welfare of thepeople has recited the Kanakadhara Stotra to alleviate the sufferance of thepeople in their variety and grant them all the boons of Asta Lakshmi.
If one has all the Wealth and no health, wealth ceases to have anysignificance.Like wise the importantof all manifestations of Goddess Lakshmi.If one has wealth, health and no children all these will be futite.Hence Lakshmi (Asta Lakshmi manifestationfulfill all desires.
The prayer of Lakshmi is aimed to grant the missing wants of thedevotees by the Goddess.
In Gayatri Mahamantra the Second pada “Bhargo Devasya Dheemahi”has the Beejakshara “Sreem” of Sree Lakshmi and represents yajurveda and “AhamBrahmasmi”
Adwaita Siddhanta of Sri Sankaracarya.Sree Maha Devi seated on the Hrdaya (chest) of Sri Visnu carriesall the power of him coupled with her Sakti.
Sankaracarya while reciting the Kanakadhara Stotra brought outalike the greatness and glory of Visnu ventilated that such divinity was beingpresided by Sree Lakshmi.
Lakshmi Devi was being extolled in all her eight qualifyingmanifestations as (Asta Lakshmi) and her varied boons to be conferred on thethose who are desirous of them.
