Intention:
I Am Effortless Prosperity
Fearlessness is My Gift
Abundance is My Birthright
Bliss is My Offering
Beauty is My Reality
I Am the Abode of Wealth & Splendor
Lakshmi Ma is the Hindu Goddess of Prosperity or Bliss. But how do we achieve our Bliss?
How do we open to receive the True abundance of our Divine Birthright?
How do we reach Lakshmi Ma?
There is a myth which says that there are two roads to Lakshmi, two roads to
one's own Bliss,
each of which is guarded by two different, very important energies embodied by the Hindu deities Saraswati (Wisdom) and Ganesha (Opener of the Way).
The myth suggests that in order for one to achieve their own True Bliss, we must first travel
these two roads. We must travel the road guided by Saraswati, the great teacher
who passes on the Wisdom of the Heavens to All; and we
must also travel the road guided by Ganesha who removes all obstacles, personal
and external, from our path.
Each of these three deities are associated with three of the seven Chakra
centers in the body. Ganesha dwells within the root chakra, Saraswati within the
crown
and Lakshmi within the Solar Plexis. This combination is very auspicious,
developing the principal of opposition which brings balance & freedom.
From our head we are tall and light (Saraswati)
and at our base we are grounded and unencumbered (Ganesha).
And to tie it all together we maintain a strong center of power (Lakshmi)
letting this guide us into our own Bliss.
