Shreem mantra was explained in an earlier post where we saw that it is the seed of prosperity. This seed mantra is also called Lakshmi bija as that is what this great goddess signifies. Devi Lakshmi signifies all that is auspicious. She is said to be the royalty of kings. She personifies grandeur of the universe. Not only mortals but gods also seek her favour.
Most people equate wealth with Lakshmi. But it is not so. One sees many a rich men who are not happy with life. They remain discontented and do not find peace of mind. Why is this so? This is because they may have money but there is not Lakshmi there. It is like they are eating plastic fruits that are with no essence. So goddess of prosperity is the essence of all that is good and not just money. If you pursue Lakshmi just for money then you have missed the point. Actually you are not worshiping the goddess. That is why fulfillment remains elusive for many regardless of how much money they may make. Pursue Lakshmi and you will find all that is good comes to you.
The basic idea behind this seed is abundance, increase. Using this bija mantra, one can increase financial prosperity or the abundance of friendship or health. Shrim is the core of Shri Lakshmi. It is said that she is the most beautiful goddess and so this mantra is for beauty and joy too. She is the power that glows. Her seed sound is used to invoke her with all her qualities.
