Annapurna Sadhana | A Total Life:
The easiest of all Sadhanas are the Sadhanas of Goddess Lakshmi, the deity who blesses one with wealth and prosperity. And there is a good reason for this. Not only the common man but even the saints and the ascetics need wealth for their altruistic ventures. For the householder in fact Lakshmi Sadhana is the most important ritual.

| Goddess Lakshmi | Mother Annapurna |
The most benevolent form of Lakshmi is Shree Sundari or Annapurna. In this Avatara the Goddess banishes the entire problem from the lives of her devotees and blesses them everlasting prosperity and comforts.
Shree Sundari or Annapurna is none other than Goddess Parvati, the divine consort of Lord Shiva. She is a Goddess who not only helps one to attain pleasures and riches but also Moksha or Spiritual success. The ancient texts in fact state that not just one but 108 boons can be had from the Sadhana of Goddess Mother Annapurna.
It is impossible to list all the most important boons that can be had are a disease free healthy body, a house, sons and daughters, a good spouse, enough wealth, mental peace and presence of the divine gods in one’s house.
This Sadhana is not just powerful rather it is also quick acting. If one obtains the blessings of one’s Guru and follows the rules prescribed for the Sadhana then there is no chance that the ritual could fail.
This amazing Sadhana can be started on any Thursday night after 9 pm and it has to go on for 14 days at the same place. Have a bath and wear pure yellow clothes and sit facing the North on a Yellow mat.
Cover a wooden seat with a red cloth and on it; make a mound of unbroken rice grains. On the mound place an Annapurna Shankha (Special Mantra energized conch shell).
Light two lamps one filled with mustard oil and the other with ghee. First of all chant Om Gam Ganapataye Namah eleven times and pray to Lord Ganesh for success. Then offer prayers to the Guru and chant one round of Guru Mantra.
Next make eight marks with saffron on the Annapurna Shankh representing the eight forms of Lakshmi. Each time chant one of the following Mantras.
Om Dhan Lakshmyei Namah, Om Dhaanya Lakshmyei Namah, Om Dharaa Lakshmyei Namah, Om Keerti Lakshmyei Namah, Om Aaya Lakshmyei Namah, Om Yash Lakshmyei Namah, Om Putra Lakshmyei Namah, Om Vaahan Lakshmyei Namah.
Offer rice grains, flowers and vermillion on the Shankh and then chant thus,
Om Mahaalakshmyei Namah, Om Shivaayei Namah, Om Annapurnaayei Namah.
Next, with a Hakeek or rock crystal (Sfatik) rosary chant 11 rounds of the following Mantra.
Mantra: Om Ayeim Hreem Shreem Annapurnnaay Shivaayei Namah
Do this daily for 14 days. After the completion of the Sadhana drop the rosary in a river or pond. Tie the Shankh in a red cloth and place it in your safe or the place where you keep your valuables. Offer food and gifts to eight small girls.
Without doubt this Sadhana manifests its wonderful results very soon provided that it is tried with full faith and devotion.
