Sri Annapurna Ashtakam – Sri Annapurna Stotram is created by Sri Adi Shankaracharya. Anna is interpreted as “food” and “grains” and Purna signifies “full” or “complete”. Annapoorna in a real sense implies being loaded up with food. Annapurna Devi holds in a single hand a jeweled bowl brimming with grains and in the other a brilliant spoon, representing the bountiful sustenance she provides for all. She is the Mother Goddess, the sustainer of all life. Annapurna is a part of Devi Adishakti and is known as the Hindu Goddess of food and sustenance. Love and presenting of food are exceptionally lauded in Hinduism, and thusly, the Goddess Annapurna is viewed as a well known divinity. A couple of sanctuaries exist that are committed to her, the most noticeable being the Annapurna Devi Mandir in Varanasi. The Sovereign Mother of Varanasi. Believed that Akshaya Tritiya is the Birthday of Goddess Annapurna. Annapuran puja is performed on Summer Season – Shukla Paksha of Chaitra Masa (In English Calender April Month).
The Annapoorna Shatanama Stotra with 108 names and the Annapoorna Sahasranama Stotra with 1008 names are chanted by devotees to ensure the grace of the Divine Mother in alleviating poverty and assuring continued well being and prosperity.
