Questions
Is this the same Om Jai Lakshmi Mata that is sung in Hindi?
Yes. These are the same Hindi words, written in Kannada letters so you can read them aloud. It is a transliteration, not a translation into Kannada. The meaning of each verse is given in English.
How was the Kannada text prepared?
We keep one checked Devanagari edition (Traditional Hindi aarti as printed in popular aarti-sangrah booklets; text cross-checked against Drik Panchang (Hindi), Webdunia Hindi and BhaktiBharat.com) and write it in Kannada letters with fixed spelling rules, so every verse matches the original letter for letter. The English-letter line is the common singing spelling.
