Origin & Story
Rigveda (Mandala 7, Sukta 41) · Rishi Vasishtha Maitravaruni · Vedic period (c. 1500-1000 BCE)
The Bhagya Suktam is the Bhaga hymn of the seventh Mandala of the Rigveda, traditionally ascribed to the great seer Vasishtha. It is a morning hymn (prataranuvaka): at the first light of dawn the rishi calls upon the whole circle of bright deities — Agni, Indra, Mitra and Varuna, the Ashvins, Pushan, Brahmanaspati, Soma and Rudra — and then turns to Bhaga, the Aditya of fortune, praying that he bestow upon the worshipper his rightful portion of cattle, horses, heroic sons and the lasting goodwill of the gods. Because Bhaga embodies destiny and prosperity, the hymn became a favourite Vedic prayer for wealth, success and auspicious beginnings.
✦ As told in scripture
It is traditionally held that one who recites the Bhagya Suktam at dawn with faith never lacks their rightful share, for Bhaga is the very deity who apportions fortune; even the helpless and the king alike cry to him for their portion, and he turns no sincere worshipper away. Chanted together with the Sri Suktam, it is said to open the doors of Lakshmi's grace and turn misfortune into abundance.
