Jupiter - spirituality and prosperity

This energy simultaneously gives both material and spiritual success.

This energy simultaneously gives both material and spiritual success.
Both the penchant for a godly life and financial success are equally manifestations of a good relationship with Jupiter. Does this seem a little strange? Not at all. In this article we will consider the karmic reasons why these two seemingly opposite spheres of life are interconnected: spirituality and finance.

The ability to respect is a very important quality that directly determines the ability to learn, develop and grow as a person. First, consider a few facts:

  1. In schools, before the lesson begins, students stand up, welcoming and showing respect to the teacher. This is a very ancient tradition, stretching back to the ancient non-technocratic civilization. And it was created for a very practical purpose: to help students learn better. By the way, in Russia this good tradition is still preserved, which cannot be said about the advanced West. Perhaps this also affected the statistics on the level of education of the population, which is not at all in favor of the West.

  2. Tell me who your idol is and I will tell you who you are. This is the law: if a person extols any qualities, he acquires them. This is the basis of all spiritual practice, in which worship of one or another aspect of the divine is used. Even ancient authors, contemporaries of the prosperity of paganism, wrote that those who want to develop beauty and attractiveness in themselves should worship Venus - the very embodiment of these qualities; eloquence and success in trade - to Mercury, strength and energy - to Mars, and so on.

  3. There is an episode in Mahabharata in which a young man who wanted to become a shooter came to the guru Dronacharya and asked to be trained. But the teacher refused, because he was from a low caste. Then the young man left, made a statue of Dronacharya from clay and began to worship her with all the devotion that he was capable of. Soon, knowledge of the art of shooting revealed in his heart, and he became one of the best shooters. Tales, you say? Of course, fairy tales! After all, who in the modern world is capable of the same devotion and respect? In modern reality, this is nothing more than a legend.

So what does all this have to do with poverty and bad luck? Everything is simple here: people lose their wisdom and luck, and, accordingly, wealth for one main reason: loss of respect for teachers. No matter how bad the teacher may seem, his subconscious mind always perceives it as the embodiment of knowledge and wisdom. Now imagine: with their disrespect, people bring to the subconscious the program “wisdom is not worthy of respect”. And what comes of this? Of course, the subconscious brings this program to life with its characteristic calm equanimity.

But it’s hard for us to believe in it, it’s hard to understand that any action and thought has a consequence. This is mainly due to the fact that sometimes there is a rather large distance in time between the cause and the effect. So for a simple layman it is just as difficult to notice as for a kitten - to understand why they poke him in the place where he shit, he doesn’t remember how he did it! In the same way, we lack the awareness to remember for what reasons from past lives we were born in a poor family and why we are so unlucky. After all, this material world is a very crude and slow substance, in our mind we are able to visit Paris and London in a split second. But to visit them on the physical plane, and not on the subtle - it takes time. Likewise, for our past activity of consciousness, it takes time for it to manifest in a material form. Sometimes it takes several lives.

So, under the jurisdiction of Jupiter are mainly teachers and children, as well as judges and all those associated with jurisprudence. People involved in charity and all who are associated with religion and spiritual practice (priests, monks, etc.).

Manifestations of the energy of Jupiter, depending on the mode in which a person is located (it is desirable to develop good Jupiterian qualities, and get rid of ignorant and passionate ones):

Ignorance: rude disrespectful speech, hatred of teachers and other religions, hatred of morality or religion, extreme manifestations of recklessness, crude materialism, immorality.

Passion: optimism on the verge of arrogance, a penchant for gambling, a love of debate (especially with authorities), extravagance, recklessness, excessive pity (without measure), fanatical adherence to rules and principles, dogmatism and fanaticism, position: “my religion is the most true ! Everyone else is heresy! ”

Goodness: constant healthy optimism, respect for everyone - especially elders and teachers, self-control, honesty, compassion, devotion to teachers.

Methods of propitiation of Jupiter.
1. Qualities that develop:

• Healthy optimism.

• Good nature.

• Honesty.

• Justice, morality.

• Not condemning those who do not follow principles.

• Respectful speech.

• Worship (respect) for teachers.

• To see teachers in all, that is, to respect the whole world as a manifestation of the divine.

• Refusal of materialism, faith in God. As Carl Jung said: I do not work with patients who are over 35 years old and they do not believe in God.

• Refusal of fanaticism and dogmatism. The position "my faith is the most true, and all the rest is heresy" testifies to the afflicted and retrograde Jupiter.

  1. Jupiter's Day - Thursday, the best day for all undertakings, especially for spiritual practices, the beginning of training and other blessed enterprises.

Those who wish to harmonize the energy of Jupiter on this day should:

• Repeat the mantra of Jupiter.

• Devote a day to spiritual practices (complete or incomplete fasting, prayer, meditation, etc.).

• Do some kind of service for teachers and children.

  1. Products that enhance Jupiter:

• Fatty but clean food.

• Butter or ghee.

• Cream.

• Pumpkin.

• Olive oil.

• Peppermint and curly (green) mint.

  1. Actions that enhance Jupiter:

• Following spiritual principles.

• Reading prayers, mantras.

• Performing rituals and ceremonies.

• Pilgrimages.

• Reading and following the scriptures.

  1. Yantra and mantra.

Jupiter’s yantra, like all other planets, can be purchased in the corresponding store, and the mantra is: Om Guruwe Namaha.

  1. Stones enhancing the influence of Jupiter:

• Yellow sapphire.

• Yellow topaz.

• Yellow citrine.

• Yellow zircon.

• Yellow tourmaline.

Note: despite the fact that Jupiter is the most beneficial planet among all the others, its strengthening with stones can lead to an increase in negative qualities. Therefore, it is best not to risk it and turn to a professional astrologer for an individual consultation on precious stones. In addition to the fact that an improperly selected stone can destroy certain areas of a person’s life, there are still a huge number of rules on how to properly clean, put on and wear stones.

Legend.

 Once, when Brahma saw beautiful heavenly dancers, his family fell into the fire - this led to the sages, among whom was Angiras - the father of Jupiter. Therefore, Jupiter is sometimes called the son of fire, meaning the fiery essence of Angiras. Jupiter’s mother was Shraddha - which in approximate translation from Sanskrit means “faith”. Thus, Jupiter is the guru of the gods and the son of fire and faith, or "fiery faith."

One fine sunny day, Venus, the guru of demons and the adversary of Jupiter, went to the Himalayas in order to indulge in tapasya in honor of Shiva and find out a way to defeat the gods. Alarmed by this, Indra sent his daughter Jayanti to him, so that she would learn this method from him. The goddess became a student of Venus, and served him by faith and devotion until he learned the necessary mantras to defeat the gods. Seeing that the demon guru was about to return to his disciples, Jayanti asked him to marry her. Remembering her devotional service, Venus could not refuse and fulfilled her desire. So they remained in the Himalayas for ten years, while being invisible to the whole world.

Meanwhile, Jupiter took the form of Venus, came to the demons and taught them so that it completely eradicated hatred and hostility from them. After ten years, the real Venus broke up with Jayanti and returned to his disciples. Seeing two identical gurus, the demons were stunned and confused recognized the true one who taught them ten years.

The real Venus cursed his disciples in fury, and Jupiter assumed its true form and returned to heaven. The demons rushed to ask for forgiveness from their guru and, in the end, he relented and again accepted them as disciples. But his curse continued for a long time, so that the demons remained powerless before the gods.

In another story about Jupiter, everything happened the other way around - the king of the gods did not show due respect to his guru. And it was like this: on a big holiday in honor of Indra’s birthday, the birthday man received praises and respect from his subjects. And as if evil, one person was not sitting at home, just in the middle of the holiday, Jupiter entered the throne room. At that moment, all the gods turned to him and began to praise him, from which the poor birthday man's heart sank, and a drop of envy arose in him. Which, of course, could not be ignored by the astute Jupiter! He’s a guru! In general, he immediately disappeared, disappeared into the air, leaving a huge crowd of gods to perplex.

Information immediately came to the kingdom of demons, spies reported so to speak - the guru of the gods disappeared! Yeah! The delighted demons, without delay, gathered in the attack, very successfully. All the efforts of the gods were in vain, and what can you do? Indra had to take on a very unusual austerity: he spent a thousand years in the lotus stem, and yet appeased Jupiter. After which they healed again happily ever after.

Both of these stories concerning Jupiter show not only its nature, as the archetype of the ideal guru, but also the importance of respect for teachers. Which, in essence, is the most important quality for enhancing the energy of Jupiter, which means wisdom, spirituality and good luck.

Lakshmi - the goddess of wealth, prosperity, prosperity

Lakshmi is a multi-armed Indian goddess who personifies family well-being, happy fate, immortality, material wealth, abundance, blessing.

Lakshmi is a multi-armed Indian goddess who personifies family well-being, happy fate, immortality, material wealth, abundance, blessing. She is the embodiment of the creative energy of Vishnu and, concurrently, his wife. Often the goddess in the images appears with a lotus - sitting, standing or holding this sacred flower in her hand. And this is no accident, because in Hinduism the lotus symbolizes spiritual purity, bright thoughts, motherhood. Learn more about the lotus in Indian culture.

In Sanskrit, Lakshmi means “happiness”, “luck”. In addition, the name Lakshmi itself can be interpreted as a lucky sign and an opportunity to do something good, since “lakṣ” is interpreted as “goal”, “understand goal”, “perceive”.

The story of the birth of a many-armed goddess
According to one of the most common legends, the goddess of abundance, prosperity and wealth appeared, sitting on a lotus flower. This is indicated in Vishnu Purana, Mahabharata and Ramayana. Allegedly, at this time, the devas and asuras were churning (shaking) the Milky Ocean. During this, various herbs were thrown into the waters of the ocean, which, thanks to agitation, turned into 14 treasures, one of which was Lakshmi.

“Then from the waters, shining with beauty, rose, embarrassing thoughts, the goddess Sri, she stood in a shining lotus, in her hands was a lotus. Overwhelmed with joy, the great rishis praised her with a hymn dedicated to Sri, in front of them (the goddess) were the Vishvadevas and sang Gandharvas. Before her, O brahmana, ghrtachi and host of apsara danced; The Ganges and other (sacred) rivers served it with their waters when bathing. “The heavenly elephants, taking golden jugs with clear water, washed the goddess, the great Ruler of all worlds.”

(Vishnu Purana, chap. IX, slokas 98–101).

This is perhaps the most popular version of the birth of the goddess Lakshmi. But, there are other mythological assumptions. According to one of them, Sri Lakshmi is a child of the sage Bhrigu and his wife Chiati. And this is stated in Vishnu Purana:

“At first, Sri was born from Bhrigu and Khyati, and (then) was born again from the ocean, when the gods and the Danavas fervently chased the nectar of immortality. Just as the Master of the world, the king of the gods of Janardan is born (in various images) an avatar, so his girlfriend Sri. When Hari was the son of Aditi, she was born from a lotus; when he was (born) as Rama of the Bhrigu clan, she was Dharani. He was born as Raghava, she as Sita; when he was (born like) Krishna, she was (born like) Rukmini, and in other avatars of Vishnu she was his girlfriend. Whatever guise Vishnu took, divine or human, she also assumed the image corresponding to him. ”

(Vishnu Purana, Book I, Chapter IX).

It is also believed that the goddess accompanies her husband Vishnu everywhere and in all avatars. There is even a suggestion that she came from a lotus flower located above his head.

In the Mahabharata one can find a mention that Lakshmi is introduced as Draupadi, the wife of the Pandava brothers. They are the embodiment of the gods who were born on earth from Indra, Vayu, Dharma, Ashvin. The following lines confirm this:

“And a particle (of the goddess) Sri for the sake of satisfaction (Narayana) incarnated on earth in the family of Drupada in the form of his impeccable daughter.”

(The Mahabharata, book. I, Adiparva, chapter 61).
Numerous goddess names
Lakshmi has many names, each of which has a specific meaning. Her sacred name is the name of Sri, translated from Sanskrit as “prosperity”, “happiness”. In Vishnu Purana, various slokas and Puranas of ancient scriptures, the goddess is called just that and the role of Mother World is assigned to her.
The Skanda Purana describing the life path of Kartikeya (the son of Shiva and Parvati) lists the names of Lakshmi. Surprisingly, in it you can find references to 1008 names of the goddess! They are also called Lashkmi Sahasranama. They are read on Fridays early in the morning. The names of the Indian goddess are also described in the Brahma Purana.

Here are just some of the names of Lakshmi (the most traditional) and their meanings:

Srija - Born in prosperity;
Kamala, Padmasundari - Beautiful as a lotus;
Padma - Lotus-like;
Padmapriya - Loving lotuses;
Padmahasta - Holding the lotus;
Padmamaladhara - Wearing a garland of lotuses;
Padmakshi - With beautiful eyes like a lotus;
Padmamukhi - With a beautiful face like a lotus;
Jagadishwari - Mother of the world;
Ulkavahini - Traveling on an Owl;
Vishnupriya - Beloved Vishnu
Other not so popular names are Lakshmi: Aishwarya, Mohini, Lalima, Indira, Nandika, Nandini, Shridevi, Madhavi, Sri, Tripura, Malti, Devi, Savitri, Aruna, Akhila, Avashya, Sita, Sharanya, Anumati, Durga, Rudzhula, Sujata, Jalaja, Bala, Kriyalakshmi, Kamalika and many others.

Symbols of the goddess and their meaning

“I pay homage to the mother of all beings arising from Sri's lotus - her eyes are like lotuses that have opened after a dream - she clung to Vishnu's chest! You are a wonderful power, you are a sacrifice to the gods and a sacrifice to the Petars, you are a mother, a purifier of worlds, you are morning and evening twilight and night, power, prosperity, sacrifice, faith, Saraswati! ”

“Vishnu Purana”, Prince I, ch. IX, slokas 115–116.

With these words the Goddess is described in Vishnu Purana. However, this is only part of what is said about the lotus-eyed goddess in the writings. They like to portray her in different guises, with various objects and various blessing gestures (the so-called Lakshmi mudra), in which a deep spiritual meaning is embedded.

The Indian goddess with many arms is most often shown sitting on a lotus, which is a symbol of motherhood, spiritual purity. Incredibly beautiful, she is bewitching, forcing to consider each symbol depicted with her.

You can find a variety of pictures in which Lakshmi appears in various images. The goddess of prosperity can be depicted with a different number of hands. And this is no accident. If she has eight hands, then in them she holds a reptile (wand), dhanus (bow), shankha (shell), arrow, ankus (bowed), wooden pestle, chakra (wheel), padma (lotus).

If Lakshmi has four hands, then there may be several options:

Padma (lotus), shankha (shell), reptile (rod), chakra (wheel).
Padma (lotus), lotus, vessel with nectar, mahalunga (lemon-like fruit).
Padma (lotus), sangha (shell), bilva fruit (wooden apple), a vessel with ragweed.
There is a lotus in the upper hands, and gold coins are streaming from the lower ones, or coins are streaming from only one, and the fingers of the other are folded in a blessing gesture.

Lakshmi may also have two hands. In this case, in one hand she holds a lotus, and in the other a sink. With Vishnu, she most often has just two hands. In one of them she has a lotus, in the other - a font (coconut) or lotuses in each hand. She sits on the snake Ananta, the left thigh of Vishnu or the eagle. Sometimes you can find images in which the goddess with six hands.

You can also notice that the Indian goddess, more precisely, the color of her skin, can be described in different ways. It is pink, golden yellow, white, dark. If Lakshmi is the color of a thundercloud, then this directly indicates that she is the wife of Vishnu - the dark-faced God. Pink color reflects the essence of Lakshmi as compassion for all living beings, because she is the Mother of all things.

The goddess Lakshmi is often dressed in golden robes, standing or sitting on a blossoming lotus flower. Sometimes there are pictures in which next to her are elephants waist-deep in water. This is Haji Lakshmi, symbolizing the splendor and glory of the great goddess. By the way, the Lakshmi lotus may be at a different stage of disclosure. And it’s not just that. He personifies beings at different stages in the development of consciousness.

So, Lakshmi is the goddess of prosperity and the goddess of wealth, a symbol of love and motherhood, grace and beauty. She is the embodiment of spiritual purity, immortality, good luck, happy fate. And each symbol of Lakshmi has a deep meaning.

Ashtalakshmi
Ashtalakshmi (Ashta-Lakshmi) from Sanskrit is translated as “eight Lakshmi”. When this word is mentioned, they mean the secondary manifestations of the Indian goddess, which are represented by a group of female goddesses. These Indian deities are also called Lakshmi avatars. All of them symbolize various forms of well-being: offspring, power, prosperity, strength, knowledge, health. In honor of Ashtalakshmi, they create figures, thematically decorate them, dedicate hymns and printed images to them.

Avatars of Lakshmi:

Adi-Lakshmi (Sanskrit means great Lakshmi) - this hypostasis is the daughter of the great sage Bhrigu. She is portrayed with four hands. The lower hands show varada-mudra (mercy, sincerity, compassion) and abhaya-mudra (confidence, protection, fearlessness, peace).

Lakshmi and Vishnu: a love story
The Indian goddess of love is described as a fickle, independent, and multifaceted person. Its peculiarity is that it can be both very soft, gentle, and jealous, showing discontent and wayward character. As various myths and legends describe, Lakshmi is quite capable of moving from one ruler to another, because she is inextricably linked with the attributes of power. While someone is in the royal place, the goddess invariably belongs to him. Worth losing power how the Goddess leaves him.

Despite his inconstancy, Lakshmi developed a strong relationship with Vishnu. In order to keep his wife always happy and contented, he constantly makes efforts. And this is bearing fruit - the goddess reciprocates, remaining faithful. Everywhere she follows her beloved spouse, living with him in harmony.

Lakshmi and Vishnu are one. They complement each other, penetrate each other, fill. They are the embodiment of everything. Lakshmi is the source of God's power, which continuously fills him with energy. Often she can be seen in the images as an amazingly beautiful goddess present near Vishnu.

The relationships of Lakshmi and his wife, the god Vishnu, as well as the place of the goddess in the Universe are described in various myths and scriptures, including in the Vishnu Purana:
“Vishnu means meaning (words), it means its sound, Hari means leadership, it means good behavior. Vishnu is the creator; she is the creation; Hari is the holder of the earth; she is the earth; Bhagavan is joy, and Lakshmi is constant satisfaction. Sri is desire, and Bhagavan is love, he is sacrifice, she is a sacrificial gift; the goddess is the sacrifice of refined oil, Janardana is a (sacrificial) tortilla from ground rice ... Lakshmi is a temple for women, and the Demon Slayer Madhu is a temple for husbands; ... Bhagavan is the incarnate Samaveda, and the One who dwells in the lotus is the rhythm (verses of Samaveda), Lakshmi is the sacrifice to the gods, and the Patron of the world Vasudeva is (sacrificial fire). Bhagavan Shauri is Shankara, and Sri is (his wife) Gauri; Keshava is the sun, O Maitreya, and He who abides in the lotus is his light. ”

And yet these words perfectly reflect who Lakshmi's husband is and who she herself is:

“Why are there many words? Bhagavan Hari is (all) that among the gods, animals, people and others is called a man, and Lakshmi is (all) that is called a woman. And besides them - there is nothing new. ”

(Vishnu Purana, Book I, Chapter VIII).

In the tantric direction, the spouse of the god Vishnu represents his potency-energy. It arouses passion, excites, gives strength. The creator creates the worlds, and his wife contributes to their prosperity. Yes, Lakshmi acts independently, but makes it so that all her activities reflect the will of her husband. A complementary union is the key to harmony.

In fact, Lakshmi is a female manifestation of Vishnu. It reflects God-partnership, God-love. The masculine and feminine together form Brahman, who is called Lakshmi-Narayana. Being born with Vishnu, she maintains the beauty, harmony and prosperity of the whole world. He is all masculine, and she is all feminine.

If you competently work with the energy of Lakshmi, you can attract true happiness and love into your life. This can be useful both for family people who have lost contact with their partner, and for those who are only at the stage of searching for a soul mate.

Holidays dedicated to Lakshmi
The goddess is dedicated to many holidays, during which she is revered. One of these is Navaratri, which falls on the period from September to October. It is celebrated for nine days, because according to the myth, the goddess Durga fought the demon for nine days in a row, taking on the image of a buffalo. On the ninth, last day, she won. In Bengal, Durga, her two daughters (Lakshmi and Sarasvati) and two sons (Kartikeya and Ganapati) are worshiped as the embodiment of wealth, knowledge, strength and mind, respectively. In southern India, this holiday is celebrated three nights three times. The first three nights they treat the goddess as Lakshmi, the second three as Saraswati, the third three as Kali. In Gujarat, at this time, women were dancing and singing, glorifying the fertility of the goddess of the land of Bhu-devi.

Another holiday that is widely celebrated in India is Diwali (Deepavali). It is even called the "festival of lights" and it is also dedicated to the goddess Lakshmi, who is revered these days with special respect. Puja Lakshmi is a ritual of worshiping the goddess Lakshmi. He is a very important part of Diwali. During the puja, believers call for a deity, counting on improving their well-being, financial situation, love and family relationships.

During the five nights (that is how much Diwali is celebrated) after Sharad Purnima at the arrival of the new moon, which takes place in October-November, people blow up firecrackers, light lanterns, oil lamps, garlands, distribute sweets, burn incense. Each of the five nights is celebrated in a special way. But, in any case, in the days of Diwali, women try to carefully clean the dwelling, and decorate the thresholds with favorable symbols and ranks (colored patterns). Before night falls, people decorate the house, adding as many lights and garlands to it as possible, dress up in the best clothes, arrange a festive dinner and exchange with close gifts.
Along with Lakshmi, on the same days they also worship other "money" gods - Ganesha and Coober. It is especially recommended that those who are engaged in business or have just embarked on the path of organizing their business turn to this trinity. Some enterprises even prefer to start new books, and many businessmen try to conclude new transactions and contracts.

Diwali is celebrated throughout India, but most of all it is popular in its northern part, Maharashtra, Gujarat, Tamil Nadu.

It is celebrated in August-September. It is celebrated on a special scale in the state of Kerala. In Punjab, this holiday is called as “Baisakhi” or “Vaisakhi” - equivalent to the festival of the harvest and the New Year. In the morning, people begin to prepare the most significant Lakshmi symbols: gold, rice, vegetables, fruits, a mirror, flowers, water.

On the holiday of Varalakshmi Nombu or Vra-Lakshmi Vrata, all who crave blessings turn to Lakshmi. Most of all it is noted in the southern part of India, namely such states as Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, Tellingan. Those who believe ask the Indian goddess for health, children, wealth, property, food, spouse, happiness. During the special puja, 108 Lakshmi names are chanted. In order not to upset or offend her, you must not leave this ritual before its completion.

To whom does Lakshmi patronize?
The multi-armed goddess Lakshmi is a reliable support for those who are engaged in creativity and have connected their lives with this direction. She loves no less than those who found themselves in a profession related to the production of clothing or household items, cosmetology, finance, jewelry, raising children, cooking, farming, social assistance. Perhaps all areas of activity under the protection of the goddess, it is simply impossible to list.

It is also worth remembering that Lakshmi can be both infinitely kind and merciful, and angry - though quite deservedly. She does not like when people are too greedy and when, on the contrary, they are too littered with money. If a person shows disrespect for food, has a scruffy appearance, there is dirt and contention with his relatives in his house, conflicts at work - Lakshmi will turn his back on such a person. She also does not encourage the killing of animals, poor attitude to natural resources, the destruction of beautiful things.

Particular attention should be paid to wearing gold. If this is done incorrectly, luck, happiness and material well-being can turn away from a person. Since gold is one of the manifestations of Lakshmi and the sun god (Surya), it must be treated with respect. Do not put it on your ankles as a bracelet, as this part of the body is considered dirty. At the same time, the goddess does not limit the desire of both women and men to wear gold jewelry on any other parts of the body.

Lakshmi appreciates courage, strength, the ability to resist powerful opponents and win the fight against them. The goddess protects people who can show determination.

The lotus-eyed goddess, by her own example, shows women how they should relate to their spouses. They should honor husbands as gods, be faithful to them, be always beautiful mistresses, attractive, guardians of the hearth. At the same time, a grateful husband will surround his wife with care, attention, give her what she wants.
Mantras, prayers and hymns chanting Lakshmi
There are many prayers, stotras, hymns, slokas and mantras dedicated to the Indian goddess of wealth. The most famous Lakshmi mantra is: “Om Hrim Shrim Shrim Lakshmi Byo Namaha.” It actually means "Goddess Lakshmi abides in me and grants abundance in all aspects of my existence." But, there are a large number of other mantras with different meanings. Often people read the mantra, not knowing its true purpose. But each of them has a specific goal and effect.

The mantra "Om Lakshmi Vigan Sri Kamala Dharigan Matchmaker" helps those who want to find peace, fulfill their cherished desires, improve their financial situation. To make it as effective as possible, it is worth repeating it from April 13 to May 15 every day for 108 times.

The mantra "Om Nameh Lakshmi Namah" must be read in order to express gratitude and reverence for the goddess of prosperity. Then she will definitely pay attention to the speaker of these words and reward him.

In order for positive changes to begin, mantras are recommended to be read 108 times each. In this case, you should be facing the East. In order not to lose count, you can use a rosary with 108 beads. If it is not possible to repeat the mantra so many times, you can say it 3, 9, 18 or 27 times.

It is very important to recite the mantras, having bright thoughts and wishing everyone happiness. Lakshmi instantly recognizes insincerity and does not give his blessing. And the one who is not arrogant and devoid of pride, who is hardworking and can sacrifice his desires for the sake of others, that goddess will favorably bestow happiness, health and welfare.

“The home of the person who has heard and who has read the story of the birth of Lakshmi will not leave Sri for three generations. In those houses where the hymn [dedicated to Sri] is read, [the goddess of misfortune] Alakshmi will never penetrate, the source of quarrels ... Alakshmi will never be established in the thoughts of those husbands who daily read the hymn of Lakshmi, which has come from the mouth of Indra; [Hymn of Lakshmi] is the source of all well-being. "

(Vishnu Purana, Book I, Chapter XI).

Lakshmi is a goddess who is very revered not only in India, but everywhere where she lives according to the principles of Hinduism. Not many temples were erected in her honor, but you can express your respect and pray in any temple of Vishnu or Narayana (one of the images of Vishnu is its cosmic reality).

If you still want to visit the temples erected in honor of this Goddess, then you should go to Birla Mandir (Delhi), Varadaraja (Kanchi), Jagannath (Puri), Ranganath (Srirangam). There are also temples in large cities - Mahalakshmi (Mumbai), Ashtalakshmi (Chennai), Ashtalakshmi (Hyderabad). Here, prayers and hymns in honor of Lakshmi will have even greater effect.
