Sri Suktam is dedicated to Goddess Sri or Lakṣhmi, Vishnu’s consort, and the Hindu Goddess of prosperity and fertility. Chanting it daily brings the blessings of Lakshmi. This Suktam is one of the Pancha Suktam (5 Suktams) – Purusha Suktam, Vishnu Suktam, Sri Suktam, Bhu Suktam, and Nila Suktam. It is believed that reciting this powerful hymn regularly bestows great power to one’s personality and character, and boosts their general well-being. It is used to invoke prosperity, health, and wealth for the entire family. Unmarried girls recite it to get good grooms while young men recite it to get good jobs. It is believed to free families from debts and miseries. Lakshmi’s elder sister, Jyeshtha Lakshmi, is an inauspicious goddess and brings grief, obstacles, conflicts, delays, failures to people. Reciting the Sri Suktam is believed to remove the influence of Jyeshta Lakshmi, from our lives.
