महालक्ष्मी होमम्

Maha Lakshmi Homa

For wealth, abundance and prosperity · Goddess Maha Lakshmi

The Maha Lakshmi Homa invokes the Goddess of fortune, wealth and abundance. Performed with the Sri Sukta, it attracts prosperity and the complete material and spiritual well-being of the family and home.

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.
