Om Shreem Hreem Shreem Kamale Kamalalaye Praseed Praseed Om Shreem Hreem Shreem Mahalakshmyai Namah
"O Goddess Lakshmi seated in the lotus — be gracious, be gracious. I bow to the Great Lakshmi."
Diwali (Deepavali — "row of lights") is the most celebrated festival in Hinduism, marking the victory of light over darkness, knowledge over ignorance, and good over evil. On the night of Diwali, Goddess Lakshmi is said to visit homes that are clean, well-lit and full of devotion, bestowing her blessings of wealth and prosperity.
The primary deity worshipped on Diwali night is Goddess Lakshmi, along with Lord Ganesha (invoked first as the remover of obstacles), Goddess Saraswati (in some traditions), and Lord Vishnu (as Lakshmi's consort). The following mantras, chanted during Diwali Puja with sincere devotion, are the most powerful for attracting Lakshmi's blessings.
ॐ श्रीं ह्रीं श्रीं महालक्ष्म्यै नमःOm Shreem Hreem Shreem Mahalakshmyai Namah
Chant 108 times during the Lakshmi Puja on Diwali night. This is the supreme mantra for inviting Lakshmi into your home and life.
ॐ गं गणपतये नमःOm Gam Ganapataye Namah
Always invoke Ganesha first — before Lakshmi, before any prayer. This ensures the puja proceeds without obstacles and all blessings are received fully.
ॐ यक्षाय कुबेराय वैश्रवणाय धनधान्याधिपतये
धनधान्यसमृद्धिं मे देहि दापय स्वाहाOm Yakshaaya Kuberaya Vaishravanaaya Dhana-Dhanyadi-Pataye Dhana-Dhanya Samriddhim Me Dehi Daapaya Svaha
Chant 108 times on Diwali night for specific financial abundance. Kubera is the divine treasurer.
Lakshmi enters homes that are clean, ordered and beautiful. This is not merely ritual — a clean, well-kept home represents the inner qualities Lakshmi favours.
Place an image or idol of Goddess Lakshmi (and Ganesha) on a clean cloth. Offer flowers (lotus if available), incense, a ghee lamp and sweets.
Om Gam Ganapataye Namah — always invoke Ganesha first to ensure the puja proceeds without obstacles.
Om Shreem Hreem Shreem Mahalakshmyai Namah — visualise Goddess Lakshmi entering your home and filling every corner with golden light and abundance.
Light small clay lamps (diyas) with mustard or sesame oil in every corner of your home, especially at the entrance — to welcome Lakshmi and illuminate the path for her.
Conclude by sitting quietly and feeling deep gratitude for all the abundance already present in your life. Gratitude is the vibration that matches Lakshmi's frequency precisely.
