Removes Poverty Consciousness
The mantra dissolves deep-seated beliefs of scarcity and unworthiness that subconsciously block abundance from entering life.

How to Chant Lakshmi Mantra
Instructions
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.
Spiritual Significance
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.
