Goddess Laxmi is considered to be the deity of wealth and prosperity. It is said that chanting the Laxmi mantra is the best way to please Maa Laxmi and gain her blessings. This mantra is also known as the money mantra but its recital is not just limited for monetary gains. We pray to Goddess Laxmi to enlighten our minds with intelligence and comprehensive skills.
The root word that forms the crux of the name Laxmi is ‘lakshya’ which refers to a ‘goal.’ Goddess Laxmi helps us achieve our aim in life and the Laxmi mantra helps us find a way to reach our life goals.
The consort of Lord Vishnu, Goddess Laxmi represents the divine energy that bestows upon her worshippers wealth, prosperity and happiness. It is believed that she relieves her followers from the sorrows pertaining to materialistic deprivation.
Shri Mahalaxmi is known by many names such as Padma, Kalyani, Vaishnavi and so on. She is often depicted with four hands that stand for the four goals that a person must achieve during his/her life - Dharma (to do one’s duty righteously), Artha (to get meaning into your life with the help of prosperity), Kama (the pleasures of the world) and Moksha (the ultimate level of salvation).
