Lakshmi is a candle from our line World Magic. We represent her with a blend including sandalwood and jasmine with a lovely light purple coloring. Lakshmi is a deity from the Hindu faith that represents among other things goals and prosperity in both the physical and spiritual world.
Lakshmi is celebrated year round but in particular in October on the full moon night of Kojagari Purnima. She is represented as a beautiful woman with a lotus typically in her hands. (the lotus representing fertility, loyalty and beauty) She has four hands that represent the four ends of human life: dharma or righteousness, "kama" or desires, "artha" or wealth, and "moksha" or liberation from the cycle of birth and death.
She can be seen as bringing in prosperity for both the household and businesses. Her energy is brought in through strength and fidelity. She symbolizes success but not for those who simply expect it to come to them, success is gained by hard work, loyalty and grace.
Using the energy of Lakshmi, look inward to see that strength and perseverance is inside of you. That prosperity comes to those who are willing to see through their goals from start to finish. To have the courage to see what it will really take in order to achieve them. Meditate while burning the Lakshmi candle to break down your desires to the starting point. Also your path to receive the abundance that Lakshmi is waiting to give to you.
Lakshmi is a part of our World Magic Set, you can find a complete world magic starter kit under Coventry Candle Sets.
