Offerings

Question:

In the Laksmi Puja there doesn’t seem to be the nectar bath offering. Why?

Swamiji Says:

All the offerings are in the Cosmic Puja. I didn’t want to keep cutting and pasting from one book  to another, so I gave the shell of the puja, and you can supplement as per your desire.

Śrīṃ

Question:

You have translated Śrīṃ as Increase. Can you help me understand what it increases?

Swamiji Says:

Anything you want. Actually śa means peace; r means your mind; ī means your intuition; ṃ means perfection. That which brings your mind and intuition to perfection (increase) is Śrīṃ. It is the bīja mantra of Lakṣmī.
