Mantras of Goddess Lakshmi for Wealth and Prosperity

Goddess Lakshmi - Goddess of Wealth

Goddess Lakshmi is one of the most worshiped Deities in Hindu Religion. Lakshmi is the consort of Maha Vishnu and because of this marriage she is also referred to as Maha Lakshmi and the Empress of Satyug. She also married Sri Rama in her incarnation as Sita and Krishna as Rukmini and Radha. Mahalakshmi is also depicted as Devi in her universal form of Shakti where she kills the Demon Mahishasura. The Goddess is described as eighteen armed bearing string of beads, battle axe, maze, arrow, thunderbolt, lotus, water-pot, cudgel, lance, bow, sword, shield, bell, conch, wine cup, noose, trident and sudarsana. In this form the Goddess is referred to as Ashta Dasa Bhuja Mahalakshmi. She is the embodiment of God's superior spiritual feminine energy which purifies, empowers and uplifts the individual. She is also the personification of the Spiritual energy within us and universe called Kundalini.

Lakshmi is the goddess of wealth/ good fortune, beauty and auspiciousness. She is typically portrayed as sitting or standing on a 100 petal lotus in the ocean of milk which is symbolic of purity, peace and prosperity. Her four arms signify Purity, Prosperity, Perfection and Freedom from bondage and the gold coins continuously flowing out of her left hand represents endless material prosperity. The four elephants seen in her pictures denote four directions and faithfulness. Her right hand denotes blessing and assurance of safety to her devotees.

Goddess Lakshmi is also called by the name ‘Maha Lakshmi' symbolic of her Lakshmi-Narayana form. Goddess Lakshmi because of her association with the flower Lotus is also known by names Padma and Kamala which means ‘one who resides in a lotus'. She is also known as Padmapriya (One who likes lotus), Padmamukhi (One whose face is like Lotus), Padmakshi (One whose eyes is as beautiful as a lotus), Padmasundari (One who is as beautiful as a Lotus) and Padmahasta (One who holds a Lotus). The secondary manifestations of this Goddess of wealth are worshiped as Ashta Lakshmi or Shri-Lakshmi (Sri Lakshmi) representing eight Lakshmis presiding eight sources of wealth. These eight forms are Adi Lakshmi, Dhanya Lakshmi, Dhairya Lakshmi , Gaja Lakshmi , Santana Lakshmi, Vijaya Lakshmi, Vidya Lakshmi, Vidya Lakshmi and Dhana Lakshmi.

Goddess Lakshmi is worshiped during the occasion of Diwali, the festival of Lights. It is said that this goddess would bless those who purify their souls with the oil of knowledge (Gita) so that it can be rekindled just as the flame of diyas which is why diyas are lighted and our houses are cleaned to welcome the Goddess on this occasion. It is believed that Lakshmi only resides in those homes which are clean and where the people are hardworking. She is not only worshiped individually but also in combination with Narayana in various forms (manifestations) like LakshmiNarayana, LakshmiNarasimha, SitaRam, RadhaKrishna, and VithhalRukmini.

Some of the Mantras of the Goddess of Wealth are given below

"Sarvagyay Sarvavarday Sarvadushtbhaydkree

Roughly, the meaning of Mantra's given above can be summarized as follows:-

"I bow to Maa Lakshmi who everything, who grant favors to all, who terrorizes the evil and who removes the misery of all. I bow to the divine goddess who is the provider of success and intelligence and the benefactor of both worldly pleasure and freedom. I bow to the Ultimate Mother who is without beginning and without end. I surrender to the auspicious Mother who can remove even the greatest of sins. I bow to the great Mother who resides in the hearts of devotees is the goddess of wealth, luxury, beauty, power, generosity and auspiciousness".

Anamika S Jain (author) from Mumbai - Maharashtra, India on April 27, 2009:

What has religion got to do with knowledge? I have seen several Hindus who don't even know one mantra or does not have much knowledge about ramayana or mahabharata. I also have seen some non hindus having better knowledge of those. It all depends on how much one in interested to learn or acquire knowledge.

Anamika S Jain (author) from Mumbai - Maharashtra, India on April 04, 2009:

Kannan : I have no idea of that mantra

Tony : Kubera is the God of wealth and material and his responsibility is to distribute wealth while creating wealth is with Goddess Lakshmi.You can chant the Lakshmi-Kubera Mantra "Om Sreem Hreem Cleem Maha Ashta Iswarya Sampathu Aadhi Dhiyudha Maha Kubera Managala Sarva Bhagya Sudharsana Sanka ChakraPadma Ghadhayudha Sri Lakshmi Narayana Dhevaya Namaha"

Thanks for the visit.

No body responded to the Lakshminarayana moola manthram and photo. I got one mail from one person that if I received it he also need it. I saw the photo with moola manthram once with Iscon Stall. But now I could not find it. Surely it is a worth to keep it in our house.

Tony on January 20, 2009:

Greetings :

Nice hub. In what way is Lord Kubera related to Maha Lakshmi?

Could their mantra be chanted at the same time?

Thanks & please forgive me if I have not asked appropriately because I'm new to Hinuism.

Regards,

Tony

Hi Countrywomen,

Thanks for putting that link here. Yes, I have heard the mantra. And I agree with you that Gayantri mantra is used more for meditation purpose. But to tell you the truth, any mantra or sound can be used for meditation. All mantras are powerful in their own way.

Tatjana,

Nice to see your interest in Mantras. The Lakshmi Mantra is said to bring in wealth and is indeed a powerful mantra.

Thanks for your Comments Tatjana and Countrywomen.

countrywomen from Washington, USA on December 01, 2008:

Tatjana- One of the most powerful mantras for meditation are the Gayatri (preferably received from a guru) and Mrutyunajaya Mantra. Glad to see you find love and light from Vedic mantras.

Tatjana-Mihaela from Zadar, CROATIA on December 01, 2008:

I am here very often....meditating on Lakshmi mantra. As well as on your Saraswati page. Thank you very much. Love and Light.
