You are not becoming something new — you are remembering what has always been sacred within you.
I AM
Exodus 3:14, when Moses asks for God's name, God replies, "I AM WHO I AM." This declares God's eternal, self-existent nature, unchanging and absolute.
"I Am" is a reflection of divine authority and a creative force of identity. Whatever follows "I am" becomes a declaration, so saying "I am strong" or "I am love" aligns one's being with that truth, channeling divine power through words. Manifesting your reality.
More than words, "I am" is a statement of being, creation, and divine essence, rooted in the belief that we carry the spark of the Creator within us."We are gods, not in might or dominion, but in essence, created in the image of the Divine, carrying within us the spark of eternal power, the authority to speak, create, and transform through the sacred breath of 'I Am.'"
Why Goddess Lakshmi Visits Only Where Respect and Gratitude Live
Maa Lakshmi is the goddess of wealth and prosperity. If you think her blessings are limited to wealth alone then you are wrong. According to Hindu mythology she also blesses her devotees with kindness, joy and spiritual abundance. Hindu sculptures always give a timeless teaching that Goddess Lakshmi comes only where there is respect and gratitude.
The Heart is Her Home
People think Maa Lakshmi lives only in big homes or golden temples but they don't know the reality. Goddess Maa Lakshmi always lives in the pure heart that honours life, respect and love for others. Respect for others and for yourself invites her into your home and life. That house where people are humble, kind and caring Lakshmi lives in that home. When a family lives happily and considers each other they naturally invite happiness and prosperity into their lives.
Gratitude Brings Abundance
Gratitude is not limited to saying “thank you” to anyone. Gratitude is when you notice and appreciate everything that life gives you. You should be grateful for both small things like your family or friends' smiles and big things like good health and opportunities. A thankful heart naturally invites Goddess Lakshmi into life and she showers blessings.
Story Behind the Lesson
According to the Hindu text Goddess Lakshmi appears to those who follow Dharma and show true devotion and appreciation. If you live in India or are a Hindu then you must have heard the story of Raja Harishachandra which teaches us honesty, humility and respect for dharma while arrogance and ingratitude push Maa Lakshmi away. Hindu sculptures also teach us that wealth without integrity is pointless and integrity without gratitude is incomplete.
How to Invite Lakshmi
There is no hard practice to invite Goddess Lakshmi in your life, you just need to be honest, pure & humble with everyone and keep your intentions good. See these points and accept these in your life-
Practice daily gratitude
Respect all life
Value your resources
Be generous
The Wealth That Truly Matters
Goddess Lakshmi blesses their devotees beyond wealth. She brings happiness, joy, clarity and love to an individual life. With the help of her blessings devotees heart fill with gratitude and respect and wealth becomes holistic. It improves your spirit, strengthens relationships and benefits your community.
In short to welcome Goddess Lakshmi, open your heart not just your home and let abundance flow in every form.
