Shri is the sacred sound of cosmic auspiciousness and abundance and when written or spoken it carries a spiritual potency (shakti). Written as Sri or Shree or Sree or Shri, it stands for affluence, grace, wealth, light, lustre, splendour, beauty, loveliness and authority.

There are various levels and manifestations of Sri

  • She is seen in many forms, such as Bhudevi and Sridevi. Most people think that they are separate beings although they are one. Bhudevi is the representation

    and totality of the material world or energy, in which she is called Mother Earth. The analogy of milk that transforms into yoghurt is used to demonstrate how Sri who is transcendental, transforms into Durga in this material world. Durga is approached by her devotees for fulfillment of material desires. She is also called “the beauty of three worlds” and in this context she is called Sri Tripura Sundari whose magical diagram is called the “Sri Yantra”.

  • Sri embodies the spiritual world, also known as Vaikuntha, the abode of Laxmi-Narayan or Vishnu. She possess the divine qualities of God, as she is the embodiment of God’s superior spiritual feminine energy, which purifies, empowers and uplifts the individual. Hence, she is called the Goddess of Fortune. She is believed to be the Mother of the Universe
  • Goddess Laxmi is a soothing, kind, warm and approachable mother figure who willingly intervenes in the lives of devotees. When asking Visnu for grace or forgiveness, the devotees always approach Him through the intermediary presence of Laxmi Devi.
  • Sridevi or Laxmi as the power and consort of Lord Vishnu, is present on His chest on the heart, as She is the embodiment of love, from which devotion to God or Bhakti flows. It is through Love/Bhakti or Laxmi that the atma or soul is able to reach God or Vishnu.
  • She is also the personification of the spiritual fulfilment and is described as an ocean of compassion and mercy. Maha laxmi is liberal and can infuse our hearts with spiritual knowledge without considering our qualifications. She resides within the hearts of Her devotees.

  • The name Sri always precedes the Lord’s name for example: Sri Narayan, Sri Krsna. Why ? The significance of this is that Narayan is never without Her, He is the energetic and She is His energy, and in this way they are simultaneously one and different. The yin yang concept symbolises this oneness and difference.
  • She also presides over 16 forms of worldly wealth which she easily grants: Fame, Knowledge, Courage and Strength, Victory, Good Children, Valor, Gold, Gems and Other Valuables, Grains in abundance, Happiness, Bliss, Intelligence, Beauty, Higher goals, High Thinking and Higher Meditation, Morality and Ethics; Good Health, Long Life.
  
The Eight Laxmi Forms in this world
    The First manifestation of Lakshmi
    Granary wealth
    Wealth of courage
    Elephants, symbols of wealth
    Wealth of continuity, progeny
    Wealth of victory
    Wealth of knowledge and education
    Monetary wealth
 
 
Although Mother Laxmi is worshiped as the goddess of fortune, when she is worshiped with Narayana, the worshiper is blessed with not only wealth but also peace, prosperity and spiritual protection. They can be worshiped in forms, such as Laxmi Narayan, Laxmi Narasingha, Sita Rama and the original source Sri Sri Radha Krsna.

Sri Laxmi Devi

The ancient scriptures of India ultimately advise us all to pay extreme regards to Laxmi, and any person who disregards her is sure to fall on evil days. This means that wealth should be well protected and properly used. The misuse of wealth is sure to generate negative karma, and the resultant suffering and unhappiness that is accompanied with it.

Laxmi devi’s quality of being chanchal, denotes her fickle nature. She tends to not stay in one place too long and can just as easily leave as she arrives ! However honouring Sri Yantra and Meru Chakra with Her mantra, offers you an opportunity to petition her to remain here.

 
 
 
 

 

 

Your Own Best Directions

Your Directional Empowerment

Where do you feel most comfortable within your home ? You may notice you feel more drawn or favour some spots over others, For example you may have a favourite seat in the living room or you may be drawn to a certain part of the house. This brings to mind the U.S. TV hit comedy series ‘The Big Bang Theory’ where the character Sheldon gets bent out of shape if anyone takes his seat.

The Science:

  • Well actually there is a science behind why we choose one spot over another. Through the science of Vastu and Vedic astrology, we are able to calculate your personal compatibility with the different areas of your habitat. Thereby giving you ‘directional empowerment’.

Vedic Astrology:

  • Discover where you are best supported and nourished by the planets and elements in your immediate environment. Your Own Personal Direction is one of eight compass points within any given space where you feel at your best, most empowered and happy. This is calculated using the placement of the Moon planet within a particular nakshatra or constellation in your birth chart

Choose Your Space:

  • Of the eight compass points; four will be positive for you. One being your Own Best Personal Direction and the three other which also support and nourish you, but decrease in their ability to do so as they move away from your own direction. The remaining four directions may make you feel challenged in your daily activities.
  • In which direction of the building do you spend many hours of the day at work or at night in bed?  If you have the luxury of choosing the area in the house or building where you spend most of your time, then of course you would want to be in your Own Personal Direction as much as practically possible.
  • If you are going to spend long periods of time in a specific space you can become aware of how these energies influence you. With this knowledge you can make informed decisions about the way you use the areas of your home or building wherever practically possible. Wherever you are in the world, and whichever building you reside in, you can use this same information as a guideline.
  • Here’s an example:

if North is your Own Personal Best Direction then how would you feel in all the other directions? See below the tendencies or inclinations which might manifest by additional factors. There is of course no need to fear or avoid certain directions but we can interpret this data as hints to solve present situations and avoid future difficulties :

North:  gain, happiness, success                                                      +

Northeast:  comfortable, financial power                                     +

East:  mental happiness, agricultural wealth, fame                      +

Southeast:  illnesses, use of medicine, loss of health                   –

South:  difficulties because of enemies, political agitation           –

Southwest:  hostilities without reason, expenses, agitation        –

West:  riches and wealth through food, happiness, success         +

Northwest:  fear of death, agitation, responsibility for accident –

 Your Own Personal Direction is included free in a Consultation or you can contact me if you would like to know the best place in your home or office for you.

Your Nakshatra also reveals your Vedic animal and symbol. There is a deep significance of the animal connected to the nakshatras and this will give an indication of the personality, behaviour pattern, and relationship with other nakshatras not just from a sexual point of view, but also the spiritual connection. We will discuss nakshatras in the next few posts.

The West- Direction of Wisdom and Learning

the west

The Quality:

The Western direction, under the powerful weight of Saturn, is the cosmic disciplinarian. Yet a deeper understanding and experience of this direction’s influence brings wisdom and maturity.                                                                                               Saturn is considered to be a malefic among the main planets, if it is manifesting its negative aspects, while its positive aspects are of great importance, especially to spiritual life. It bestows one with discipline and renunciation, and fosters solitude and asceticism. It confronts man with suffering and pessimism and represents time. It brings all things closer to their natural ending or death. It can be felt anywhere where things degenerate, are being destroyed or lose their power.                                                      A strong Saturn is the basis for everything which should last in this world, awarding a good reputation, fame and scholarship abilities. Whereas a weakened Saturn may lead to delays and depression.  This direction mainly affects sons within the home or junior male staff within the office.                                                                              

The Vastu-To Do’s

  • Used for heavy storage. The negative or used up energies that are associated with this direction should ideally be ‘weighed’ down, i.e. with heavy storage.
  • Cold and damp storage is also fine

The West is suitable for the following room functions at home and at the office:

  • Dining room, pantry (grain storage), study, office and bathroom, toilets (on either side of the Western point in your home or office)
  • It is a good place for conference room and a place that supports project completion.
  • It is also a good place for garbage storage.
  •  Storage of completed projects and files

The Don’ts

The West is NOT suitable for:

  • Activities that require a lot of physical energy, management or sports
  • No fire, electrical nor heating appliances as these clash with the elements that preside here.
  • Clear, light open space.

Possible Negative outcome with weak Vastu:

  • It brings the tendency to not complete transactions and
  • Communication failures
  • Bad reputation
  • Marketing set backs
  • Inability to Investigate

And on health level watch out for:

  • Stubbornness,
  • Lethargy and
  • Depression 
  • Arthritis,
  • Rheumatism as well as
  • Gallstones and
  • Weak bones and teeth.

The Vastu Remedies

To enhance positive Vastu energies here a Kurmadeva Yantra (see top of page) will be installed on the West point of your building. The Vastu Pyramid will work in conjunction with this Yantra and create an energy vortex to help balance energies, providing you with the positive qualities the western direction has to offer you.

The Positive outcome using Vastu Principles

Provide yourself and family members the support, structure and discipline and energy for daily duties and regulated chores as well as to complete projects with successful outcomes.

The Benefits For Your Business:

  • Positive Vastu in the West awards your business the qualities of the disciplinarian Saturn energy, supporting daily duties and regulated chores etc.
  • Completed transactions
  • Good reputation
  • Skillful marketing
  • Success in communications
  • Ability to investigate
