Origin & Story

Lakshmi Tantra and various Puranas · Vedic and Tantric tradition · Ancient

Lakshmi mantras use the bija syllable Shreem which is the sonic essence of abundance. Lakshmi emerged during the Samudra Manthan standing on a lotus, choosing Vishnu as her eternal consort. Her mantras invoke this primordial energy of prosperity.

✦ As told in scripture

The Vishnu Purana states that wherever Lakshmi's mantra is chanted with devotion, poverty cannot exist — just as darkness cannot exist where there is light. During Diwali, millions chant Lakshmi mantras at midnight, and tradition holds that Lakshmi herself visits homes filled with her sacred chanting.

How to Chant लक्ष्मी मंत्र

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.

Yes — only the script changes; the words and their meaning are the original. The verse-by-verse meaning, benefits and how-to-chant guidance on this page apply exactly the same.

Om is the primordial sound; Shreem is the beej (seed) mantra of Lakshmi, the vibration of wealth and abundance; Hreem is the beej of divine energy and the heart; "Kamale Kamalalaye" means "O lotus-born one, O dweller in the lotus"; "Praseed Praseed" means "be pleased, be gracious". The full mantra is a prayer: "O Goddess Lakshmi, lotus-born and lotus-throned, be gracious to me and dwell (with abundance) in my life."

The mantra invokes Goddess Lakshmi through her seed sounds (Shreem and Hreem) and asks her to be gracious and bestow abundance. "Kamale Kamalalaye" addresses her as "the one who dwells in the lotus" — a symbol of purity and prosperity rising from the waters of creation. The full mantra is a heartfelt plea for the divine grace of abundance to flow into every area of life.

Friday evenings are the most auspicious time for Lakshmi worship. Sunrise on any day is also very beneficial. During Diwali, especially on Lakshmi Puja night (Amavasya of Kartik month), Lakshmi is said to visit homes and bestow her blessings. Consistent daily practice, however, is more powerful than occasional intense practice.

Yes, absolutely. Lakshmi blesses all beings who approach her with sincere devotion regardless of gender. In many households, the head of family — often the husband — performs the Lakshmi Puja.
