The Goddess which is the epitome, even the quintessence of Abundance, Prosperity, and Thrival is the Indian/Hindu Goddess Lakshmi.  Although She is usually only associated, here in the West, with just money and wealth, She is in fact, the Goddess of all aspects of abundance, prosperity and wealth, in all its wondrous, beautiful forms.  She rules prosperity and abundance in both the material and the spiritual planes. 

In general, Lakshmi’s qualities include beauty, leadership, spiritual authority, royal authority, luck, fertility, purity, generosity, wisdom, fortune, and the wealth of food.  As Shri, she confers luster, glory, beauty, power, capability, skillful means, and high rank.  It is from her ruling power, dominion, and the majesty of royalty is received.

Lakshmi is said to live in the Anahata or heart chakra.  According to Thomas Ashley-Farrand in his book, ‘Shakti Mantras’, She has the ability to “activate every positive attribute held in potential in all of our chakras.” (pg 94). 

When you consider all of the areas of wealth and the qualities that Lakshmi rules over, you begin to get a sense that she is much more than what she appears.  It makes sense that she is the Essence of abundance when you consider Lakshmi as a primordial Great Mother or Earth Goddess.  I have come to believe that Lakshmi predates the Vedas and Hinduism and was originally The Great Mother, the Earth Goddess, of the pre Indo-European peoples.  This is reflected and supported in that many of her names and titles refer to her as The Great Mother (Shri Maha Lakshmi), and Earth Goddess (Bhumi Devi).
