The Spiritual Significance

Lakshmi, or Sri Lakshmi, is the goddess of all that is auspicious: wealth and fortune, beauty and fertility, health and well-being, and the spiritual abundance that supports a flourishing life. Her symbols carry her meaning: the lotus on which she sits, rising pure and perfect from muddy water, speaks of beauty and spiritual unfolding, while the gold coins falling from her hand show the material prosperity she freely gives. As the consort of Vishnu, the preserver, she accompanies him through his incarnations, the grace and fortune that sustain the world.

On a modern altar, Lakshmi is honored for prosperity and abundance, for good fortune and success, and for beauty and well-being in the fullest sense. She is said to favor homes that are clean, bright, and welcoming, which is why her great festival, Diwali, is a time of cleaning, lamps, and open doors. Honor her as the specific goddess she is, with respect for the living tradition she comes from.

How To Use

1. Place her on an altar in a clean, bright, welcoming space, which she is said to favor.
2. Welcome her by cleaning the statue, then offer lotus or other flowers, sweets, coins, or a lit ghee lamp.
3. Invoke her for prosperity and abundance, lighting a lamp or candle and keeping the surrounding space tidy and inviting.
4. Honor her especially at Diwali, when homes are cleaned and lit with lamps to welcome her in.
5. Keep offerings fresh, the space clean, and dust the statue gently with a soft cloth.

History & Occult Background

Lakshmi appears as Sri in the Vedas and grows in the Puranas into one of the most beloved goddesses of Hinduism. The great myth of the churning of the ocean of milk, the Samudra Manthan, tells how she rose from the sea, radiant upon her lotus, and chose Vishnu as her consort. She is worshipped in eight principal forms, the Ashta Lakshmi, each governing a kind of abundance, and her festival of Diwali, the festival of lights, is among the most important in the Hindu calendar, when households clean, decorate, and light lamps to welcome her blessing for the year ahead.
