Description
Maha Lakshmi Puja** is one of the most significant and sacred rituals dedicated to “Goddess Lakshmi” the divine consort of Lord Vishnu and the goddess of wealth, prosperity, and fortune. This powerful puja is performed to invoke her blessings for abundance, happiness, and spiritual growth. It is widely observed during “Diwali”, especially on the day of “Amavasya (New Moon)” in the month of Kartik, when it is believed that Goddess Lakshmi descends to bless her true devotees.
Spiritual Significance of Maha Lakshmi Puja
Maha Lakshmi symbolizes not only material wealth but also spiritual prosperity and inner harmony. She represents beauty, purity, generosity, and grace. Performing Maha Lakshmi Puja cleanses one’s environment of negativity and invites auspicious vibrations that promote peace and abundance. The ritual teaches the importance of righteous wealth — money earned through hard work, honesty, and good karma.
According to Vedic beliefs, Goddess Lakshmi visits clean, pure, and illuminated homes. Hence, devotees thoroughly clean their houses, decorate them with lights, flowers, and rangoli, and perform the puja with faith and devotion.
Procedure of Maha Lakshmi Puja
The puja begins with “Sankalpa” —a spiritual resolution to perform the ritual with sincere intentions. The devotee then invokes Lord Ganesha to remove obstacles and ensure a smooth ceremony. Goddess Lakshmi is worshipped in her eight forms, known as **Ashta Lakshmi**, representing different types of wealth — from financial success to knowledge, courage, and fertility.
Offerings such as flowers, sweets, fruits, incense, kumkum, rice, and coins are placed before her idol or image. The “Maha Lakshmi Mantra” and “Lakshmi Ashtottara Shatanamavali” (108 names of Goddess Lakshmi) are chanted to invoke her divine presence. Lamps and diyas are lit to remove darkness and welcome divine light. Finally, **aarti** is performed with devotion, spreading positive energy and joy throughout the home.
