(It is usual in Hindu religion to worship gods and Goddesses by chanting their 108 names . Here are the 108 names used to worship Goddess Lakshmi and their meaning. Please note that there is more than one set of such names. Lakshmi is the Goddess of wealth and was born out of the ocean of milk, when it was churned. Lord Vishnu took her as his consort.
