About the Lakshmi Mantra
Maa Lakshmi, the consort of Vishnu, is the goddess of wealth in every sense: money and grain, health, beauty, harmony and grace. Her seed syllable is Shreem. Tradition says she stays where there is cleanliness, honest effort, gratitude and dharma, and leaves where there is quarrel and waste; the mantras are chanted along with keeping such a home. Fridays, the full moon of Sharad Purnima and the night of Diwali are her special times.
