Gomed –– Sri Lakshmi (Energised and Blessed)

Gomed Lakshmi generally refers to a depiction or murti (idol) of Goddess Lakshmi, the Hindu goddess of wealth, fortune, and prosperity, carved from Hessonite Garnet crystal, commonly known as Gomed. Both the representation of Goddess Lakshmi and the use of the Gomed stone carry deep spiritual and religious significance.

Spiritual Significance

Goddess Lakshmi:Lakshmi is revered as the deity of abundance, beauty, and fertility. Worshipping her is believed to bring material and spiritual prosperity.

She symbolizes not just wealth in monetary terms but also an abundance of good fortune, courage, knowledge, fertility, and all aspects of life that are auspicious and nurturing.

Gomed (Hessonite): Gomed is a gemstone associated with the planet Rahu in Vedic astrology. Rahu is one of the nine celestial influencers, known for granting symptoms such as clarity of thought, victory over rivals, unexpected good fortune, and spiritual enlightenment.

  The stone is deemed to counteract the negative influences of Rahu and is believed to foster focus, confidence, wealth, and overall wellbeing.

Devotional Practices and Reverence:

Puja (Worship Ritual): The worship (puja) of Gomed Lakshmi is generally performed with utmost devotion and specific rituals. Offerings such as flowers, incense, sweets, and coins are common. Mantras dedicated to Goddess Lakshmi, especially the Mahalakshmi Ashtakam and Shree Suktam, are often recited during the rituals to invoke her blessings.

Placement & Rituals: Placing the Gomed Lakshmi murti in a clean, sanctified place, preferably facing North-East (the direction of godliness) can harness positivity and divine energy. Devotees often maintain a Diya (an oil lamp) lit near the idol, coupled with regular chanting and meditation to amplify spiritual vibes.

Festivals:The most significant festival associated with Goddess Lakshmi is Diwali (the Festival of Lights), particularly on the day of Lakshmi Pooja, where she is worshipped fervently and homes are decorated with lights to welcome the goddess of wealth and prosperity. Another pertinent occasion is Varalakshmi Vratam, observed primarily in South India, seeking the omnipresent blessings of Goddess Lakshmi.

Vastu and Energetic Balance:Keeping a Gomed Lakshmi idol is often associated with Vastu corrections. Many believe it helps to balance energies in the household, ensuring peace, prosperity, and overall harmony.

In Vedic traditions and Hindu mythology, the divine stature of Goddess Lakshmi is highly exalted. As the consort of Lord Vishnu, she plays a pivotal role in the sustenance of cosmic order (Dharma).

 Gomed Lakshmi, being a combination of the goddess and Gomed stone, represents a confluence of divine grace and astrological benefit, holding a place of high esteem.

Divine Reverence:

The sanctitude with which devotees honor Gomed Lakshmi reflects an acknowledgment of her all-encompassing bounty. Regular worship with pure heart and sincere intentions evokes protection and divine guardianship.

By venerating Gomed Lakshmi with heartfelt rituals and keeping her sacred presence in homes or personal altars, devotees aim to amplify divine abundance and dispel adversities, welcoming financial stability, spiritual clarity, and overall positivity into their lives.

Each and every other revered murti has been infused with divine energies by the esteemed Amma Sri Karunamayi.

The image you behold, and the deity you shall receive upon ordering, is reverently adorned with sacred ash (vibhuti), an esteemed emblem of purity and divinity. This hallowed item is imbued with potent divine energies, consecrated through sacred rites.

Possessing such a blessed artifact is a testament to the accumulation of meritorious deeds over numerous lifetimes, signifying an unparalleled blessing and a divine communion with the supreme cosmic forces. It bestows upon the bearer an enduring benevolence, embodying the sacred and exalting the spirit.
