Diwali Lakshmi Pooja : Secrets for Prosperous Diwali

Celebrated with tremendous zeal throughout India, Diwali is associated with the worship of Goddess Lakshmi, who is the personification of wealth, success, and good fortune. Homes get excitedly ready to welcome the holy Mother into their homes with the age-old custom of Lakshmi Puja as the auspicious day draws near. This all-inclusive book will help you plan a Diwali celebration that is both materially abundant and spiritually fulfilling by revealing the many steps and deep meaning of this sacred festival.

Purifying your living area completely is the first step toward a successful Lakshmi Puja. Initially, make sure your house is dust- and clutter-free by carefully cleaning every nook and corner. After the physical area is spotless, sprink Gangajal—holy water from the Ganges river—all over the property to purify the air and establish a lucky vibe.

Hang colorful marigold flowers, lush mango and banana leaves, and other customary décor throughout your house. Together with creating a joyous atmosphere, these components draw Goddess Lakshmi’s kind eye. Using these lucky symbols is thought to call forth her heavenly presence and bring wealth to your home.

Put up a table or platform in the middle of your puja room or other designated sacred area, and cover it with a spotless red sheet. Put a betel nut, a marigold blossom, a coin, and a small amount of rice in a kalash—a brass or silver pot—that is three-quarters full of water on this altar. Put five mango leaves, representing the five components of nature, in a circular manner around the kalash. Build a little pile of rice grains above the mango leaves, then use turmeric powder to sketch a lotus flower.

To the right (southwest) of the kalash, set the statues of Lord Ganesha and Goddess Lakshmi on the puja altar. Send up a quick prayer to Lord Ganesha, the remover of obstacles, for his blessings on a puja gone well.

Get together a variety of lucky gifts, such as fresh flowers, garlands, fruits, candies, and dry fruits, to offer the gods. Put any business-related objects in front of the idols, too, such account books or other financial records, to represent your wish for success and expansion.

As it is said that light dispels darkness and welcomes the holy Mother, light the customary diyas (oil lamps) and incense sticks. For added appeal, adorn the diyas with vivid colors and designs.

Reciting the hallowed Lakshmi Dhyan Mantra at the start of the puja will call forth the Goddess’s blessings:

The Padmasanastha Vipul-Kati-Tati Padma-Patrayatakshi, Gambhirartav-Nabhih Stana-Bhara-Namita Shubhra-Vasttariya Sa Nityam Padma-Hasta Mam Vasatu Grihe Sarva-Maangalya-Yukta॥, Ya Lakshmirdivya-Roopairmani-Gana-Khachitaih Svapita Hema-Kumbhaih”

This mantra calls forth the Goddess, who is seated on a lotus, with exquisite eyes, a wide waist, a deep navel, and a celestial upper garment on. Speaking this mantra is thought to bring all auspiciousness and good fortune into the house as well as Lakshmi’s eternal presence.

Chanting the mantra below, present flowers to the gods as you carry on with the puja:

Karta-Swar-Vibhushitam, Nana-Ratna-Samayuktam Hey Dev-Devesh! Preetyartham Grihyataam Samarpayami Shri Lakshmi-Devyai Aasanarthe Panch-Pushpani ॥”

This mantra asks the Goddess to take the five flowers that are presented as a seat for the holy Mother and the seat covered with different jewels.

Using pure water, panchamrita (a concoction of five auspicious elements), and perfumed waters, perform the holy rite of bathing the idols of Lakshmi and Ganesha. The gods are said to be cleansed and made ready to hear the pleas of the devotee by this purifying ritual.

Dress the idols with fresh flowers, sandalwood paste, and vermilion (sindoor) after the bathing procedure. This cosmetics deed is evidence of the devotee’s respect and wish to appease the holy Mother.

Give the gods a range of auspicious gifts, such as money, betel leaves and nuts, sweets, and dry fruits. These gifts stand in for your hope for money, prosperity, and plenty in the upcoming year.

Finish the puja by chanting the devotional song and waving a lamp lit with camphor in front of the gods. This ritual of circumambulation is supposed to bless the home with prosperity, health, and tranquilly.

Following the puja, sincerely pray to Goddess Lakshmi for your family’s and loved ones’ success, prosperity, and well-being. Thank and dedicate yourself before the gods.

Give the participants all of the blessed offerings (prasad) and invite them to share in the heavenly abundance. Sharing the hallowed meal is thought to bring peace, harmony, and the Goddess’s blessings for all.

End the Lakshmi Puja celebration with a beautiful, lavish dinner that was lovingly and devotionally prepared. A beloved custom, this sharing of a festive feast with loved ones strengthens the feeling of unity and thankfulness during the Diwali celebrations.

Take with you the spirit of Goddess Lakshmi’s blessings all year long as the puja draws to a close. Keep a happy, prosperous attitude and carry on honoring the holy Mother by deeds of justice, compassion, and generosity. Allow Diwali to shine on your way to a happy and prosperous life.
