Begin The Day With Purity And Preparation
Start your Friday by waking up early and taking a holy bath. Dress in clean, fresh clothes and purify your home by sprinkling Gangajal around the puja area. Prepare a sacred space by placing a red cloth over a clean wooden platform and install an idol or image of Goddess Lakshmi on it.
Offer Prasad And Light The Divine Lamp
To please Goddess Lakshmi, offer her traditional prasad such as kheer, makhana, and batasha. Place a piece of camphor inside a rose flower and light it to perform an aarti — this act is believed to remove negative energy and attract positive vibrations of wealth and success.
Chant Powerful Mantras For Wealth And Prosperity
Reciting sacred mantras on Fridays helps attract abundance and divine blessings. Chant the ‘Om Shreem Mahalakshmyai Namah’ mantra 108 times to invoke the Goddess’s energy.
Direction And Devotion Matter
When performing Lakshmi Puja, sit facing north-east or north, as these directions represent wealth and spiritual growth. You may also face the east, which symbolises new beginnings and divine grace.
Read Aartis And Stotras For Greater Blessings
To conclude your puja, recite ‘Om Jai Lakshmi Mata’, Mahalakshmi Aarti, or the Kanakdhara Stotram. These sacred hymns invoke divine energy and ensure that your home remains blessed with continuous prosperity and harmony.
