The Dhana Vriddhi Mantra is a sacred invocation aimed at the growth and multiplication of existing wealth. The mantra is primarily associated with the deities Lakshmi and Kubera, who together govern prosperity and material abundance. The core bija (seed syllable) in the mantra is 'Shreem', which is the primary beeja of Lakshmi, representing radiance, wealth, and auspiciousness.
The mantra 'Om Dhana Vriddhi Kuru Kuru Swaha' uses the imperative 'Kuru' (do, perform) repeated twice for emphasis, commanding the increase of wealth. The traditional purpose of this mantra is to enhance income, multiply assets, and ensure steady financial expansion. It is chanted for overcoming financial stagnation and attracting new opportunities for wealth generation.
The ideal time is early morning after bathing, facing east, with a clean altar and offerings of rice, flowers, and a lamp. Some traditions recommend chanting on a copper plate with a Shreem yantra. Cautions: This mantra should not be used for selfish hoarding or to harm others; it is intended for righteous wealth (dhana) that supports dharma.
Over-chanting without proper intent may lead to attachment.
Om, increase wealth, do, do, svaha.
The mantra contains the bija 'Śrīṃ' implicitly in its association; however, the explicit mantra does not contain seed syllables. The core bija 'Śrīṃ' is the primary seed of Lakshmi, composed of 'Ś' (Shakti), 'R' (Agni), and 'M' (Ananda).
