How to Chant Lakshmi Mantra

Repetitions108times

Best TimeFriday evening or sunrise

FaceEast

Friday is Lakshmi's sacred day. Begin or deepen your practice on a Friday. The Lakshmi Puja during Diwali is the most powerful time of the year. Create a clean, beautiful space — Lakshmi is drawn to cleanliness, beauty and order. A few flowers and a candle are ideal. Offer a yellow flower or yellow cloth — yellow and gold are Lakshmi's colours. Marigolds are traditional. Chant 108 times facing east using a lotus mala or crystal mala if available. As you chant Shreem, visualise your home, work and relationships all bathed in warm golden light — the light of Lakshmi's grace. Feel genuine gratitude for what you already have as you invite more abundance.
