In Hinduism, there are “pujas” (rituals) for seeking divine help and blessings from the gods. Of course, there are powerful love rituals to find love, secure a good marriage and all earthly blessings as well

There is usually offerings, prayers and more. Typically, love pujas can be quite complex – requiring recitation of prayers/chants and service to the deity morning, noon and night for day(s) (depending on what is sought).

I specialize in love pujas or more commonly known love spells – rituals to help seekers manifest their desires. I am glad I do these, nothing is more gratifying than a customer emailing me and telling me that their lover is in their arms, they got married and/or their desires have been fulfilled.

The ten incarnations of Vishnu

Within Hinduism a large number of personalities, or ‘forms’, are worshiped as murtis. These beings are either aspects of the supreme Brahman, avatars of the supreme being, or significantly powerful entities known as devas. The exact nature of belief in regards to each deity varies between differing Hindu denominations and philosophies. Often these beings are depicted in humanoid, or partially-humanoid forms, complete with a set of unique and complex iconography in each case. In total, there are over 330,000 of these supernatural beings in various Hindu traditions.

Denominations of Hinduism

Hinduism is a very rich and complex religion. Each of its four denominations shares rituals, beliefs, traditions and personal gods with one another, but each sect has a unique philosophy on how to achieve life’s ultimate goal (moksa, liberation). For example a person can be a devotee to Shiva and a Vishnu devotee but they can practice the Advaita Vedanta philosophy which believes there is no difference between Brahman and a person’s individual soul. Conversely, a Hindu may follow the Dvaita philosophy which stresses that Brahman and the soul are not the same. But each denomination fundamentally believes in different methods of self-realization and in different aspects of the one supreme God. However, each denomination respects and accepts all others, and conflict of any kind is rare.

Vaishnavism, Saivism, and Shaktism, respectively believe in a monotheistic ideal of Vishnu (often as Krishna), Shiva, or Devi; this view does not exclude other personal gods, as they are understood to be aspects of the chosen ideal. For instance, to many devotees of Krishna, Shiva is seen as having sprung from Krishna’s creative force. Ganesha worshippers would connect themselves with Shiva as Shiva is the father of Ganesha, making him a Shaiv deity. Often, the monad Brahman is seen as the one source, with all other gods emanating from there. Thus, with all Hindus, there is a strong belief in all paths being true religions that lead to one God or source, whatever one chooses to call the ultimate truth. As the Vedas – the most important Hindu scriptures state: “Truth is one; the wise call it by various names” (transliterated from Sanskrit: Ekam Sat Viprah Bahuda Vadanti.)

Smartism, is monist as well as a monotheist and understands different deities as representing various aspects and principles of one supreme entity, Brahman or parabrahman. Teachers such as Swami Vivekananda, who brought Hinduism to the West, held beliefs like those found in Smartism, although he usually referred to his religion as Vedanta. Other denominations of Hinduism do not strictly hold this belief.

A Smartist would have no problem worshiping Shiva or Vishnu together as he views the different aspects of God as leading to the same One God. It is the Smarta view that dominates the view of Hinduism in the West. By contrast, a Vaishnavite considers Vishnu as the one true God, worthy of worship and other forms as subordinate. See for example, an illustration of the Vaishnavite view of Vishnu as the one true God. Accordingly, many Vaishnavites, for example, believe that only Vishnu can grant moksha. Similarly, many Shaivites also hold similar beliefs for Shiva.

Polytheism

There are some Hindus who consider the various deities not as forms of the one Ishvara, but as independently existing entities, and may thus be properly considered polytheists.

Although the pantheistic tendency in Hinduism allowed only a subordinate rank to the old polytheistic gods, they continued to occupy an important place in the affections of individual Hindus and were still represented as exercising considerable influence on the destinies of man. The most prominent of them were regarded as the appointed “loka palas,” or guardians of the world; and as such they were made to preside over the four cardinal and (according to some authorities) the intermediate points of the compass.

Thus Indra, the chief of the devas, was regarded as the regent of the east; Agni, the fire, was in the same way associated with the southeast; Yama, lord of death and justice with the south; Surya, the sun, with the southwest; Varuna, originally the representative of the all-embracing heaven (atmosphere), now the god of the ocean, with the west; Vayu (or Pavana), the wind, with the northwest; Kubera, the god of wealth, with the north; and Soma with the northeast. In some traditions, Ishana – an aspect of Siva – is regarded as the regent of the northeast and Nirrti the regent of the southwest.

In the institutes of Manu the loka palas are represented as standing in close relation to the ruling king, who is said to be composed of particles of these his tutelary deities. The retinue of Indra consists chiefly of the Devas, gandharvas, a class of genii, considered in the epics as the celestial musicians; and apsaras, lovely nymphs, who are frequently employed by the gods to make the pious devotee desist from carrying his austere practices to an extent that might render him dangerous to their power. Narada, an ancient sage (probably a personification of the cloud, the water-giver), is considered as the messenger between the gods and men, and as having sprung from the forehead of Brahma. The interesting office of the god of love is held by Kamadeva, also called Ananga, the bodyless, because, as the myth relates, having once tried by the power of his mischievous arrow to make Siva fall in love with Parvati, whilst he was engaged in devotional practices, the urchin was reduced to ashes by a glance of the angry god. Two other mythological figures of some importance are considered as sons of Siva and Parvati, viz. Karttikeya or Skanda, the leader of the heavenly armies, who was supposed to have been fostered by the six Knittikas or Pleiades; and Ganesha (lord of troops), the elephant-headed god of wisdom, and at the same time the leader of the dii minorum gentium.

Mother Goddesses

Goddesses are worshiped when God is thought of as the Universal Mother. Particular forms of the Universal Mother include Lakshmi, Sarasvati, Parvati, Durga, and Kali. Shaktism recognizes Shakti as the supreme goddess. The concept of Mahadevi as the supreme goddess emerged in historical religious literature as a term to define the powerful and influential nature of female deities in India. Throughout history, goddesses have been portrayed as the mother of the universe, through whose powers the universe is created and destroyed. The gradual changes in belief through time shape the concept of Mahadevi and express how the different Goddesses, though very different in personality, all carry the power of the universe on their shoulders. Jagaddhatri and Mariamman are other significant female deities.

Globally, these are tough economic times. In Hinduism, it is perfectly natural and acceptable to ask the gods/goddesses to help bring money. It is not that we pray out of greed – but, as one christian friend of mine said that the bible says somewhere “money answereth all things”. That is to say, our world “works” on the basis of trading for needed goods and services.

Why some are born rich and other poor usually is thought of dealing with “karma”, but in todays economy, EVERYONE is feeling the financial “crunch”.

All over the world, people are seeking financial assistance. Some desire stability, others desire a blessing, yet others just want to stop worrying and get at least the “basics” to live.

Below are some deities known for their generosity and provision of wealth to devotees:

Lord Ganesh:

Siddhi Ganapati : “Ganapati bestowing success”,
(one of many names of Lord Ganesh)

(Video of actual people repeating a mantra)

Ganesh (Ganesha) is known as God of Luck. Before starting any new venture or anything afresh, Ganesh puja (ritual/prayer) is done first. If one is suffering from losses, when starting a new business or investments or for good career or when one is getting married, or to remove obstacles or for celebration of your or your child’s birthday, are other good reasons to seek his blessings.

Ganesh(a), the Lord of Ganas, the elephant faced God, represents the power of the Supreme Being that removes obstacles and ensures success in human endeavors. Ganesha is revered as the son of the Shiva and Parvati, and is always honored first in most worship services and rituals. Ganesha is also known as Ganapati, Vigneswara, Vinayaka, Gajamukha and Ainkaran. He is worshipped for siddhi, success in undertakings, and buddhi, intelligence. He is worshipped before any venture is started. He is also the God of education, knowledge and wisdom, literature, and the fine arts.

Goddes Lakshmi (or Laxmi):

a beautiful chant to a beautiful Goddess for wealth!
(Takes 108 repetitions or approximately 40 days)

In Hinduism, Lakshmi or Laxmi is the goddess of wealth, light, wisdom and fortune, as well as (secondarily) luck, beauty and fertility. Representations of Lakshmi (or Shri) are found in Jain and Buddhist monuments, in addition to Hindu temples.

In Puranic Hinduism Lakshmi is the Mother of the Universe and Vishnu’s Shakti. Lakshmi is married to Vishnu, and also married his incarnations Rama (in her incarnation as Sita), Krishna (as Rukmini) and Venkateshwara (as Alamelu). Lakshmi has a son named Kama. Lakshmi may also be referred to as Narayani, which is the equivalent of “The wife of Vishnu”.

Here is another BEAUTIFUL youtube video of a mantra (chant/prayer) for both peace and wealth (we need both in these days!)

(note: if you look at the image it denotes love, and fulfillment – look at the “clues”)

If you are seeking help financially, go ahead and petition these generous and loving gods. Or, check out the “Money Spells” (or our “Love Spells“) page for more assistance.

Blessings to you,

“Om” sign

Hinduism is a cultural or religious tradition that originated in the Indian subcontinent.

Hinduism is often stated to be the “oldest religious tradition” or “oldest living major tradition”. It is formed of diverse traditions and types and has no single founder. Hinduism is the world’s third largest religion after Christianity and Islam, with approximately a billion adherents, of whom about 905 million live in India.

Other countries with large Hindu populations include Nepal, Sri Lanka, Malaysia, Singapore, Mauritius, Fiji, Suriname, Guyana, Trinidad and Tobago, Canada, and the United States.

Hinduism’s vast body of scriptures is divided into ?ruti (“revealed”) and Smriti (“remembered”). These scriptures discuss theology, philosophy and mythology, and provide information on the practice of dharma (religious living). Among these texts, the Vedas and the Upanishads are the foremost in authority, importance and antiquity. Other major scriptures include the Tantras, the Agamas, the Pur??as and the epics Mah?bh?rata and R?m?ya?a. The Bhagavad G?t?, a treatise from the Mah?bh?rata, spoken by Krishna, is sometimes called a summary of the spiritual teachings of the Vedas.

God of Love Kamadeva and his wife, Goddess of Passion Rati
(c) Kailash Raj (Exotic Indian Arts)

I am a devotee of Kamadeva and Rati, the god of love and the goddess of lust, passion respectively.

Kamadeva

K?madeva (Sanskrit: ??????) is the Hindu deity of love. His other names include Ragavrinta (stalk of sassion), Ananga (incorporeal), Kandarpa (“inflamer even of a god”), Manmatha (churner of hearts), Manosij (he who is born of mind, a contraction of the Sanskrit phrase Sah Manasah j?ta), Madana (intoxicating), Ratik?nta (lord of the seasons), Pushpav?n, Pushpadhanva (one with bow of flowers) or just K?ma (“longing”). Kamadeva, is son of Hindu goddess Sri and, additionally, is the incarnation of Pradyumna, Krishna’s son. In his spiritual form he is believed to be Krishna, by Vaishnava followers in Hinduism.

Etymology

The name Kama-deva (IAST k?ma-deva) can be translated as ‘divine love’ or ‘god of love’. Kamadeva is also a known as a name of Vishnu in Vishnu Purana and Bhagavata (SB 5.18.15). It is also sometimes used as name of Shiva and the name of author of Sanskrit work Prayaschita padyata. Kamadeva is one of the names and epithets used for Krishna. Deva means heavenly or divine. Kama (IAST k?ma) can be literary translated as wish, desire or longing, especially as in sensual love or sexuality. Kama is also a name used for Agni. The name is also used in Rig Veda.

Iconography

K?madeva is represented as a young and handsome winged man who wields a bow and arrows. His bow is made of sugarcane with a string of honeybees, and his arrows are decorated with five kinds of fragrant flowers. The five flowers are: Ashoka tree flowers, white and blue lotus flowers, Mallika tree and Mango tree flowers. A terracotta murti of Kamadeva of great antiquity is housed in the Mathura Museum, UP, India.

Worship

The deity of Kamadeva along with his consort Rati is included in the pantheon of Vedic-Brahmanical deities such as Shiva and Parvati. In Hindu traditions for the marriage ceremony itself, the bride’s feet are often painted with pictures of Suka, the parrot vahana of Kamadeva. One should not misunderstand or associate worship of Kamadeva, as being sexually oriented, as the religious rituals addressed to him offer a means of purification and reentry into the community. Devotion to Kamadeva keeps desire within the framework of the religious tradition. Kamadeva also appears in other stories and becomes the object of certain devotional rituals for those seeking health, physical beauty, husbands, wives, and sons. In one story Kamadeva himself succumbs to desire, and must then worship his lover in order to be released from this passion and its curse.

Mythology

According to Hindu mythology, the world is looked after the Trinity of Gods – Lord Brahma, the creator; Lord Vishnu, the nurturer; and Lord Shiva, the destroyer. According to a legend, Goddess Sati, the daughter of Daksha Prajapati, one of the first sons of Lord Brahma, married Lord Shiva against the wishes of her father. Thus, Daksha did not invite her and her husband to a grand yagya arranged by him. When Sati came to know about the event in her father’s house, she thought it to be a slip of mind and proceeded to participate in the event despite the warnings of her husband. But once she reached there, she realized her fault and was infuriated by the insult of her husband. As a penance for her disobedience, she entered the fire. When Lord Shiva came to know of her sudden demise, he was furious. Even after he controlled his anger, he started a severe meditation and renounced all work.

The world’s balance soon crumbled in his absence and Sati took rebirth as Goddess Parvati to try and win Lord Shiva’s heart and wake him up from his trance. She tried all ways to get the attention of Shiva. When she had exhausted all her feminine ways, she invoked the help of Kamadava, the Indian cupid-god, who agreed to help her in the cause of the world despite the risks involved. He shot his love-arrow on Shiva’s heart. Disturbed in his trance, Lord Shiva opened his third eye that fired anger and instantly incinerated Kamadeva. It is said that it was on the day of Holi that Kamadeva had sacrificed himself for the good of all beings. Later, when Lord Shiva realized his mistake, he granted Kamadeva immortality in invisible form. To this day, people offer sandalwood paste to Kamadeva to relieve from his stinging burns and mango blossoms that he loved on Holi.

Rati

Statue of Goddess Rati and her husband Kamadeva

Rati is the goddess of sexual passions. She is the wife of Kamadeva (god of love). While Kamadeva is the epitome of manliness and handsomeness, Rati is an epitome of female beauty and charm.

Though Rati is the daughter of the fiery sun god Daksha, she is associated with water. The Apsaras – a group of water goddesses as changeable as the tides – include this Hindu love goddess.

Rati’s passionate powers inspired a book similar to the Karma Sutra called “Ratirahasya” which translates to “the secrets of love”. Within its’ explicit pages the love goddesses’ secrets are exposed which include numerous techniques to bring a lovers sexual pleasures.

Here is another statue of the Goddess Rati:

The goddess is holding casually the great sugarcane bow that launches arrows of desire. Sugarcane is full of juice, rasa, which is also the word for ‘flavor’ and specific sexual desires; sugarcane has been the traditional euphemism for something else that fills with fluid and elongates under the influence of desire, so the entire sculpture is a hilarious pun.
