Annapoorna Stuti In English
Annapoorna Stuti is a devotional hymn dedicated to Goddess Annapoorna, an incarnation of Goddess Parvati. She is regarded as the goddess of nourishment and food, ensuring that no one suffers from hunger. The word Annapoorna is derived from two Sanskrit words: Anna (food) and Purna (full or complete), meaning “one who provides complete nourishment.”
This stotra (hymn) is recited by devotees to seek blessings for abundance, nourishment, and sustenance. It is believed that worshipping Goddess Annapoorna brings prosperity, removes poverty, and ensures a life without scarcity of food.
