SHUBH LAABH MANTRA - PRAYER FOR ABUNDANCE.

MANTRA

A Mantra is a divine combination of divine syllables or sounds which when chanted with devotion, faith and emotion gravitate the concerned God or Goddess or deity and secure their divine blessings . Different Mantras are chanted to propitiate different deities for different ends – wealth, prosperity, fame, healing, fearlessness, success or even spiritual elevation.

SHUBH LAABH

Here, we worship Goddess Lakshmi as the Goddess of abundance in the true sense. It is not merely abundance of money that she personifies, but an abundance of good fortune, glory, purity, generosity, grace and beauty, wealth being just an external manifestation of these attributes.

Hence the words Shubh and Laabh mean much more than mere wealth or prosperity. The two words are inseperable because the laabh or wealth that one earns has to be shubh -- earned worthily in a manner that brings respect, honour, peace of mind and contentment to the household. Shubh Laabh is thus incomplete without the worship of Lord Ganesh. Ganesh worship has always formed an important part of prosperity prayers.

It is said that Lord Ganesh is capable of bestowing both bhog (material wealth) and moksh (spiritual attainments). His worship results in counteracting all the sins committed in the past life, so as to enjoy to the fullest all the wealth, prosperity and all pleasures in this life, thus paving the way for total fulfillments and ultimately spiritual elevation. He is the personification of material universe in all its various magnificent manifestations.
