Lakshmi is of the goddesses whose mantras are relatively easy to learn and which tend to give rapid results.  There are many different ways to use Lakshmi mantras, but one of the best is the repetition called japa.

All you need to do is sit comfortably with your eyes open or closed, as you prefer, and repeat the mantra.  Generally one would do this in multiples of 108 while counting on a mala, but others prefer to repeat the mantra for a certain period of time.  The repetition can be out loud, whispered, or silently.  Again, let your own preference be your guide.

Consistency is important.  While any level of repetition has its benefit, establishing a pattern of say, 108 times every day, and maintaining that over a traditional 40 day period  bring the greatest benefit.  But most important is getting started.  Even if your goal is only 10 consecutive days, accomplishing that goal will bring substantial benefit.

Lakshmi beej mantra is a sure way to please ma Lakshmi, the Goddess of wealth. “Beej” means basic or the root. When prayed with a heart full of love and devotion it produces amazing results. This mantra cleanses and purifies your heart and home, opening doors of opportunities that will transform your life. All it needs is faith from your side.
