About this ceremony

Sacred Mantra

ॐ

“Om Shreem Hreem Shreem Mahaalakshmyai Namah”

What it feels like

Lotus seeds and ghee fall into the fire as the Sri Sukta is sung, and the air seems to turn golden. The Maha Lakshmi Homa is less a request for wealth than an invitation — for grace, abundance and auspiciousness to come and make their home with you.

What happens inside the Maha Lakshmi Homa

Performed in the authentic VDS Vaidic paddhati — Sankalpa, Ganapati Puja, Kalasha Sthapana, Punyahavachanam, the consecration of Agni, the deity's offerings, and the final Purnahuti.

    Sankalpa & Ganapati Puja

    Intention for prosperity is set.

  2. 2

    Lakshmi invocation

    Maha Lakshmi is invoked and worshipped with the Ashtottara and the eight forms (Ashta Lakshmi).

  3. 3

    Sri Sukta Homa

    Kumkum Archana

    Kumkum is offered with the thousand names of the Goddess.

  5. 5

    Purnahuti & Aarti

    The homa concludes with the final offering and lamp.

Significance

Lakshmi is not only the goddess of money but of all auspiciousness — health, harmony, beauty and grace. The Sri Sukta is the Veda's hymn to abundance. Performed as a homa, it removes obstacles to prosperity and invites Lakshmi to reside in the home and workplace.
