Diwali Special ~ Mantras of Goddess Lakshmi—
by Dr. Anjna Agarwal
Diwali is both a festival of traditional poojas and calibrations.Traditionally Diwali Pooja is performed after sunset at home. On Diwali night, Ganesha shares the altar with Lakshmi. Shree Ganesha is the god of good beginnings and the fabled remover of obstacles. It is when placed side by side, Lakshmi and Ganesha hold out promise of fulfillment of desires, freedom from wants and obstacles.Those who know the ritualistic pooja perform it in the traditional way. Several people call a priest to perform the pooja. Others recite the stotras of Ganesha and Lakshmi. Doing the mantra japa of Ganesha and Lakshmi is very auspicious on this day. Maha Lakshmi is claimed to fulfill the promises of material, wealth and contentment. Lakshmi is the goddess of wealth, luxury, beauty, power, generosity and auspiciousness.
Mantra with respective Yantra will bring more effective results. In ancient texts, Lord Shiva is supposed to have explained the mystical meaning of the Yantra to his consort, Goddess Parvati: “The Yantra is as essential to a god as oil is to the oil lamp or as a body is to a living human being”. The Yantra is actually more powerful than a picture of a God which, to be energized, requires a Yantra to be affixed at its base or back. A Yantra always contains a Mantra associated with it. Just as the mind is a part of, yet different from the body, so is the Mantra from the Yantra. The Mantra is the mind consciousness while the Yantra is the form of the deity.
