Varalakshmi Vratham is celebrated to honour Goddess Lakshmi, the giver of wealth and prosperity. It falls on the last Friday of Shravana month during Shukla Paksha. On this auspicious day, devotees offer prayers to Goddess Laxmi for their family's well-being and to bring prosperity to their homes.
Known as the ‘Boon-Bestowing Friday’, the Vara Mahalakshmi festival is observed to fulfil our desires. The term Varalakshmi means ‘the goddess who grants wishes or fulfil desires’. It is believed that worshipping Vara Lakshmi with genuine devotion and loyalty is equal to worshipping all the eight forms of Goddess Laxmi.
The eight forms of Maa Lakshmi are Wealth (Sri), Earth (Bhu), Learning (Saraswati), Love (Priti), Fame (Kirti), Peace (Shanti), Pleasure (Tushti) and Strength (Pushti). Even the Skanda Purana mentions the significance of this day by indicating that women can bring prosperity to their families by observing a fast on this occasion.
The celebration of Varalakshmi Vrat, also known as Varalakshmi Nombu, comes from an ancient history that holds great significance behind the celebration of this festival. The women started to worship goddess Laxmi and keep fast for their spouses and children because Lord Parameswara told his wife Parvathi to worship goddess Laxmi.
Obliging to her husband’s wishes, she started to worship Maha Laxmi with great devotion and observed a fast for the well-being of her family members. According to this belief, women also started to follow the same, expecting their families to be blessed with good fortune and prosperity.
Many believe that the Vara Mahalakshmi festival is solely about achieving financial success, but in reality, its benefits go beyond fame, fortune and wealth. Below are the several benefits one can enjoy just by worshipping Goddess Lakshmi or observing a fast:
When observing a fast on Varalakshami Vrat, devotees should follow certain rules. Here are the essential rules that must be adhered to on the Varalakshmi vrat date:
Goddess Lakshmi always resides where there is cleanliness, truth, compassion and no evil. Follow the powerful Varalakshmi remedies below to please Goddess Lakshmi and welcome her presence in your life:
Take 5,7, or 11 cloves (launga), , them in a red cloth, and keep them in your wallet, safe or where you keep the money. There will never be any financial shortage for those who perform this simple yet effective ritual on the auspicious day of the Vara Mahalakshmi festival.
Arrange Kanya bhoj after performing the Varalakshmi Vratham pooja in the evening. Feed young girls in your home and ask Maa Lakshami to grant all your desires. Make sure to feed them Rasgulla, the favourite sweet of Maa Lakshami.
Offer sindoor (vermillion) to Goddess Lakshmi on the day of Varalakshmi vrat. It is believed this remedy removes obstacles in marriage and blesses couples with happiness and eternal love. Unmarried devotees can also perform this remedy for an early marriage.
