Cost: $15.00

Chanting Class – We will start with a short guided meditation, then the Ohm Gaia chant with Lisette & Debi followed by the OM GUM SHRIM MAHA LAKSHMIYEI SWAHA chant below.

If you do not have a set of mala beads I have ones at the store you can use.

CHANT: OM GUM SHRIM MAHA LAKSHMIYEI SWAHA.

Sounds like: om gum shreem ma ha lakshme yay swa ha.

[BW_event id=47 ]

Definition: Om and Salutations. I invoke the Remover of Obstacles and the Great Feminine Principle of Great Abundance.

Om: Seed of Unity; also used as a greeting of reverence.

Gum: masculine Seed* of Ganapathi, a benevolent energy that re-orders obstacles in our life to clear a path for our highest good.

Shrim: feminine Seed of Lakshmi, the source of abundance** in all forms; chanting this seed builds our ability to attract and maintain abundance.

Maha: the direct translation is ‘great’; this sound also invokes heart energy to center the mantra in compassion and love.

Lakshmiyei: Yei is a shakti activating sound; shakti literally translates as “to be able” and represents empowerment, or sacred force.

Chanting Lakshmi-yei activates the energy of Lakshmi within us.

Swaha: an offering up to.

The alternate ending to such a mantra is Namaha: bowing down to.

Therefore, the full meaning and purpose of the mantra is:

To reorder our thinking, and therefore our lives, to allow for a heart centered abundance to flow through us for the highest good of all.
