Chant - OM Shreem Maha Lakshmiyei Svaha

Om – represents a matrix of all sounds and is spoken at the beginning and the end of Sanskrit mantras. This sound encompasses all words in human language. Shreem – represents the bija (seed) to attract abundance. Maha – translates as ”mother”. Lakshmiyei – is another name for Goddess Laxmi. Svaha – translates as ”in honor of” or ”so be it”. Reciting this Sanskrit mantra purifies and cleanses your heart, opening doors of opportunities that will transform your life. This mantra is also called money mantra. Chanting this money mantra daily with a sincere heart and a correct pronunciation will bless you with an abundant life, prosperity, beauty, and good health. The intense vibratory magical energy produced by repetitive chanting (aloud or mentally) of the mantra produces an energy field which attracts prosperity, abundance, and fortune. In addition to assisting with wealth and love, the mantra is also used for blessing the space within the home. Goddess Lakshmi, an aspect of Shakti or the feminine power, is the goddess of fortune, prosperity, wealth, luxury, power, generosity and embodiment of beauty. She is worshipped by different names: Padmapriya (One who likes lotuses), Padmakshi (One whose eyes are as beautiful as a lotus), Kamala (Lotus-dweller), Padmamaladhara devi (One who wears a garland of lotuses), Padmasundari (One who is as beautiful as a lotus), Padmamukhi (One whose face is as beautiful as a lotus), Padmahasta (One who holds a lotus) or Srija (Jatika of goddess Lakshmi). The Goddess is the consort of Vishnu and is believed to give strength to Lord Vishnu himself. When Lord Vishnu descended on Earth as the avatars Lord Rama and Lord Krishna, Goddess Lakshmi descended as his respective consorts: Sita (Rama’s wife) and Rukmini (Krishna’s wife). She is described as whimsical yet maternal, restless, with her arms raised to bless and to grant her blessings. In Sanskrit, the meaning of the word ”Lakshmi” has its roots in “Lakshya” which translates as ”goal” or ”aim”. This means that when a devotee chants a Lakshmi mantra, he is aware of his goal (aim) and is seeking Lakshmi’s blessings to fulfil it. Goddess Lakshmi is mentioned once in the sacred Rig Veda, but the context suggests that the Sanskrit word does not mean “goddess of fortune and wealth,” rather it translates as “kindred mark or sign of auspicious fortune.” In a Hindu ancient legend about the creation of the universe as described in the Ramayana, Goddess Lakshmi springs with other precious things from the foam of the ocean of milk when it is churned by the demons and gods for the recovery of the Amṛta. The Goddess appeared with a lotus in Her hand, and so She is also called Padma. The drawing of Goddess Laxmi’s footprints is used as a magic charm in India. Women draw these small, auspicious footprints on thresholds at twilight to welcome Goddess Lakshmi, who grants abundance, wisdom, wealth, health and good cheer.
