Ashtalakshmi 1

The first form of Lakshmi is Adi Lakshmi i.e. Knowledge of the Self. How many years have you been alive so far think about it,how many years of your life have passed so for 30yrs-40yrs-50yrs, how many more yrs are you going to be here on this planet. But have you ever paused and thought where did I come formm where am I going to go, what is my source.Knowledge of your source is Adilakshmi.If you notice the entire basic course revolves around the ashtlakshmi.

Adilakshmi only comes to the seekers. Now look how many seekers are there on this planet right now .How many people out of 6 and half billion are actually interested in knowing the purpose of life. In some forms everyone has these ashtalakshmi’s but the degree varies from person to person.To enhance this Adilakshmi in our life.

For those who are on this path your journey has already began you just have to follow it through. Spending time with knowledge gives rise to adilakshmi.Spending time with your personal sadhana or your personal practices gives rise to Adilakshmi.We all want to be knowledgeable but yet we do not want to spend time with what gives us knowledge, isn’t it. Everyone is eager to give our pearls of wisdom wherever we can yet we have never taken some time to go deep within us and enhance that sampatthi that wealth within us.

So first and foremost is Adilakshmi does not come to everyone also…only a handful will get it and here right now you already have it if not you would not have made it this far also, it is not possible.So you can pat your back…well done.

Knowledge of the self …what can we do to know ourself more.Doing more of your spiritual practices, everyday spending a little time with some knowledge.Guruji has given so much of knowledge isn’t it.You can name, anything you want to know it is available. Nachiketa who was blessed with the wisdom of death he spend several years following the lord of death to receive this knowledge and Sri Sri comes and just gives it to you in the book Wisdom for the new Millenium in the topics- ‘Death & Beyond and Karma & Reincarnation’.

What took Nachiketa several years following Yama to recive a knowledge is given to us just like that yet we have never taken time to go deep into this knowledge.What adilakshmi does is takes away the fear of life & death.The more you enhance adi lakshmi in life the more fear goes away from you.Have you noticed many of us have fear of death, fear of losses, that fear goes away. Those who have adilakshmi they will radiate with smile, they will be so free and happy in the moment.Lack of adi lakshmi is what brings fear in your life.


The more we attend to this wealth of knowledge about the self the more we will be away from the fear of life, the more we are free and we can live and enjoy our life also. Fear and anxiety hampers the progress of your life. By enhancing this wealth in our life we attain that fearless state of mind as well. So spending a little time everyday reading some knowledge, some meditation everyday, do whatever connects you to the self.What can give you the knowledge of the self is the self alone. The more we associate ourselves with the self; more the knowledge of the self arises also.


Now look at our life, how much are we caught in the external environment that sometimes we completely loose the touch with ourself so caught up in the external of our life.That is when fear and anxiety comes also.The moement you shun that outside,come back to your self you meditate sometieme.You come out of Sudarshanakriya what happens, a complete state of fearlessness isn’t it just calm and everything is still inside you.Adi lakshmi is awakened in that state:)
