Diwali 2025: A Spiritual Journey of Abundance through Shree Suktam
Diwali 2025 promises to be a celebration of light, joy, and prosperity, with age-old traditions bringing families and communities together in a spirit of togetherness. Among the many cherished customs is the recitation of the Shree Suktam during this auspicious period. From Dhanteras to Bhau Beej, these five days serve as a powerful opportunity to invoke abundance for the entire year.
The Profound Power of Shree Suktam: Connecting with Divine Prosperity
Shree Suktam holds great importance during the five days of Diwali, from Dhanteras to Bhau Beej, as it invokes Goddess Mahalakshmi, the giver of wealth, prosperity, and abundance. Reciting this sacred hymn daily during Diwali purifies the environment and attracts divine blessings into the home.
On Dhanteras and Diwali night, chanting Shree Suktam is especially powerful for health, wealth, and spiritual growth. It strengthens positivity, removes poverty and obstacles, and invites lasting harmony. Each day of Diwali, the vibrations of this chant deepen the bond with Goddess Lakshmi, ensuring prosperity and protection for the family.

As someone who has deeply studied our rich cultural traditions, I can confidently say that the Shree Suktam ritual is more than just a practice – it’s a powerful connection to divine abundance. The sacred hymn dedicated to Goddess Lakshmi carries an energy that can transform your intentions into reality.
Preparing for the Ritual: A Sacred Preparation

The ritual begins with a meticulously crafted preparation that symbolizes abundance and purity:

- Start with a clean silver bowl or box
- Create alternating layers of:

- Continue layering until the container is full and cover it with lid
- Lite a Cow Ghee Diya once the Silver bowl is full.
- After ritual keep the silver bowl in Tijori for 1 year.
- Next year, repeat same process, remove old nagkesar and honey replace with new one.
