Lakshmi Gayatri mantra translation:

”Om, Let me meditate on the greatest goddess,
Oh, wife of Lord Vishnu, give me higher intellect,
And let Goddess Lakshmi illuminate my mind.”

Description:

Maa Lakshmi is the Hindu Goddess who governs all form of success and wealth and the paths, means and results of all forms of abundance and prosperity. The Goddess embodies peace, sublime beauty, siddhi, balance, strength, auspiciousness, and wisdom. She is called Thirumagal or Sri because the Goddess is endowed with 6 divines and auspicious strengths.

The Sanskrit word ”Lakshmi” is derived from the word ”Laksme,” representing “goal.” Therefore, the Goddess represents the goal of life, which includes worldly as well as spiritual abundance and prosperity. The festivals of Sharad Purnima and Diwali are celebrated in Her honor.

Goddess Lakshmi is mentioned once in the ancient text – Rigveda, but the context suggests that the word does not mean goddess of fortune and wealth, rather it represents kindred mark or sign of auspicious fortune.

She is usually illustrated standing or sitting on a lotus with golden coins abounding in an endless stream from one of Her hands, symbolic of when the lotus of wisdom blossoms, the wealth and abundance of good and noble traits appears and Goddess Lakshmi’s blessings are present. She is occasionally shown with 1 or 2 elephants and commonly with an owl. Elephants represent activity, work, and strength, as well as water, rain, and fertility for abundant wealth and prosperity.

It is said that chanting this mantra with sincere devotion brings prosperity and wealth in your life. Therefore, the mantra is an extremely powerful method to quickly and easily attract prosperity, wealth, and abundance.
