Subasagun Sthotra

It is known that reading Sundara Kand from Ramayanam brings all prosperity to life and vanishes all miseries and sorrows from life. The subasagun stothra is a part of Sundara Kand. This sthotra or sthuthi is recited by Vayuputra Hanuman about the subsakuns that appear in favour of Sita before he entered asokavana of Lanka. Since this sthuthi brought happiness to Sita - an incarnation of Goddess Lakshmi, chanting this sloka will bring all good omens for us leading to prosperity. This sloka is very special to Goddess Lakshmi and doing puja to Lakshmi matha with this sloka on Diwali - the birthday of Lakshmi matha from ocean is considered to be very auspicious and ofcourse can also be recited daily for our wellness.
