"Om Aim Hreem Shreem Sri Maha Laxmyei Namah"

One of the pancha suktas, Sri Sukta is an intimate adulation and

worship of Maha Laxmi, the Mother of abundance. Param Poojya Yoriraj

Barphani

Dadaji recommends this worship as a daily/weekly ritual helping us

remove our limiting constraints in perception. The wealth symbolized

by Maha Laxmi is not limited to the physical and material world , but

it also applies to the world of NOTHING. In a typical esoteric and

mystical sanskruti way, performing sadhana by this sukta ritual opens

the world of inner abundance.

The sadhana will not be effective unless sadhak or th worshiper

completely identifies with the Devi. The Bija Aksharas from the

powerful Mahashodasi Mantra have been coupled with each of the Sri

Sukta verses allowing our inner vibrations to resonate with the

ritual. This sadhan aremoves the inner fears or the fears inflicted

by others.

MahaLaxmi is portrayed with the Maa Saraswati and Lord Ganesa, who are

seated on either side of her. In these images, MahaLaxmi is the

embodiment of eternal bliss, that final state of eternal freedom when

one recognizes the nature of the true self. Maha Saraswati and Lord

Ganesa represent the paths to this new realm of experience.

Maha Saraswati represents the path of knowledge and discipline, and

Lord Ganesa represents the process of 'removing obstacles,' which is

an integral part of Yoga. In this case, the 'obstacles' are our

attachments to the material world. Thus, the conceptualization of

these three deities together illustrates the importance of both

knowledge and individual effort in the recognition of the true self.

Om Shrim MahalakshmiyeiNamah, Maha Laxmi's beeja mantra is SHRIM,

How does a child think? With the body. It has not learned language; to

name, analyze, cognize. But it is aware. It does not know fear. Become

a child once again. Unlearn what you have learned. This is where I

would like to begin the sadhana or practice.

I am the Shakti in You. I am working in You. I am you.

Finally

Yoga Aaraamam

Yoga is both play and rest.
