Goddess Mahalakshmi is the goddess of wealth and prosperity and women devotees worship her for healthy progeny, good health, and the long life of their husbands. She's equivalent to the Ashta Lakshmi form which grants blessings of eight types of wealth.
Varalakshmi Puja and Homam will be performed on the auspicious day of Varalakshmi Vratham which is an important ritual followed by married women. The goddess grants ‘varam’ or boons to her devotees who fast on this day. Her role is that of a mother who keeps her people free from worries and provides them with an abundance of everything.
This popular festival is celebrated on Friday before the full moon in the month of Aadi/Shravana. Venerating the divine form of Maha Lakshmi – Varalakshmi – on this day means manifold blessings are sure to come your way because it’s equivalent to worshipping Ashta Lakshmi (eight forms of Lakshmi) for wealth, nature’s bounty, learning, love, fame, progeny, pleasure, strength, success, etc.
The splendour and significance of this grand fasting are narrated by Lord Shiva in the Skanda Purana. Womenfolk observe fast on the day, and offer sweets, fruits, and flowers to the wealth goddess for the well-being of everyone in the family, especially their spouse. The importance of the ritual increases manifold when both husband and wife observe the fast together.
Varalakshmi puja and Homam are performed to remove obstacles from the path of success. It solves financial woes and ensures that you get the blessings of eight forms of Mahalakshmi. Women can perform this ritual for the long life of their husbands with the blessings of Goddess Varalakshmi. Vedic literature says that worshipping Goddess Maha Lakshmi on Varalakshmi Vratham day is equivalent to worshipping her eight energies or forms namely Sri Lakshmi (Goddess of wealth), Bhu Lakshmi (Goddess of Earth), Saraswati (Goddess of Learning), Priti Lakshmi (Goddess of Love), Kirti Lakshmi (Goddess of Fame), Shanti Lakshmi (Goddess of Peace), Santushti Lakshmi (Goddess of Pleasure) and Pushti Lakshmi (Goddess of Strength). The goddess’ consort Lord Maha Vishnu radiates these energies while doing the duty of preservation. These abstract forces and their duties are beyond the understanding of the common man and therefore they are worshipped as eight forms for receiving three basic boons of wealth, health, and prosperity which are the main requirements of mankind.
Varalakshmi Puja and Homam on Varalakshmi Vratham day are propitious to invoke the blessings of the goddess who gives everything that the devotee asks. She fulfills the desires of her devotees and generously endows everyone with material wealth, good harvest, power and strength, offspring, prosperity, victory, comfort and luxury, success and good fortune.

Ancient scriptures have revealed that Goddess Lakshmi emerged from the ocean when the gods and demons were churning it for the nectar of immortality. Therefore, the Ashta Lakshmi Temple that’s adjacent to the Besant Nagar beach in Chennai, is symbolic of the deity’s manifestation from sea. The distinct feature of the temple is that it resembles the letter ‘Om’ in Sanskrit. The temple has four levels and Goddess Maha Lakshmi and her consort Maha Vishnu are first to be worshipped. From this main sanctum, the other smaller shrines of Ashta Lakshmi forms are seen on different tiers of the temple. Goddess Maha Lakshmi and Lord Vishnu fulfill the wishes of the devotees. The goddess grants eight-fold boons in the form of Ashta Siddhis (eight accomplishments) and also eight-fold wealth called Ashta Aishwaryam (eight types of prosperity). A puja in this temple provides relief from poverty and debts, protects from evil powers and weak planets in horoscope, gives cure to diseases, health disorders and affliction, showers one with healthy progeny, helps to achieve luck and success, bestows one with all sorts of wealth, gives immense knowledge, wisdom and blesses one with patience and courage.
The Sri Chakra Yantra is a sacred instrument formed by nine interlocking triangles that surround and radiate out from the central point, the junction point between the physical universe and its obscure source. The term ‘Sri’ is used to denote the reverence to the holy Yantra. It denotes that the Yantra is auspicious, beneficent, salutary, and benign and begets prosperity. A person using Sri Chakra achieves greater affluence, peace and harmony. It breaks all obstacles and also helps us to grow spiritually and materialistically. By performing puja to the energized Sri Chakra Yantra, a person will receive great positivity and immense auspiciousness in your home. After you receive the yantra, apply sandal paste or turmeric and vermillion on the four sides of the yantra, and chant the mantra,
Om Shreem Hreem Shreem, Kamale Kamalaleyi, Praseeda Praseeda
Om Shreem Hreem Shreem Mahalaxmiyei Namaha
The mantra gives relief from all sufferings and provides wealth and fortune.
