Origin & Story

Traditional Lakshmi dhyana and bija mantra, used in Lakshmi Puja and Diwali worship · Traditional (Puranic / Tantric devotional liturgy) · Classical (Puranic devotional tradition)

Goddess Lakshmi, who arose radiant from the churning of the ocean of milk (Samudra Manthana) and chose Vishnu as her eternal consort, is the giver of all wealth, fortune and auspiciousness. The dhyana verse 'Padmasane Padmakare' is among the most widely used invocations to seat her in the heart before worship, picturing her on the lotus, adored by all the worlds. Paired with the seed-mantra 'Om Shreem Mahalakshmyai Namah', it forms a complete short upasana (devotional practice) recited in homes and businesses, especially at Diwali, when Lakshmi is welcomed to bless the household and its livelihood for the year ahead.

✦ As told in scripture

Devotees and merchants relate that homes and shops where Lakshmi is invoked daily with 'Shreem' and welcomed with lamps at Diwali never lack for sustenance, want turning to plenty — for it is said the Goddess dwells wherever she is remembered with devotion, cleanliness and gratitude.

How to Chant महालक्ष्मी मन्त्र (पद्मासने पद्मकरे)

Repetitions108times

Best TimeFridays, Diwali (Lakshmi Puja), and early morning; before opening a business or ledger

Begin by visualising Goddess Mahalakshmi seated on a lotus, golden and radiant, holding lotuses, with the dhyana verse 'Padmasane Padmakare'. Then chant the seed-mantra 'Om Shreem Mahalakshmyai Namah' 108 times using a lotus-seed or crystal mala, ideally before a lamp and an image of the Goddess, facing east or north. Friday is especially auspicious, as is Diwali. Business owners often recite it before opening their shop, ledger or new account. Keep the mind calm and grateful, offering red or lotus flowers and seeking the Goddess's lasting grace rather than mere riches.
