Working with Lord Ganesha and Lakshmi Ma is like watching a door you never knew existed swing open. 📿
During our fall live session, we'll be working with Lord Ganesha and Lakshmi Ma to bring us into divine alignment with abundance. Lakshmi is the Hindu Goddess of Wealth, Beauty, and Grace, blessing both the physical and spiritual realms. Lord Ganesha, the remover of obstacles, ensures the path is clear for her blessings to land. Together, they are pure magic.
Working with Ganesha and Lakshmi Ma is a way to anchor yourself in abundance, clarity, and ease as you move through the fall months. This season invites slowing down and turning inward — and with intention, it becomes one of the most potent times of the year to align with what your heart truly wants.
This mantra process will serve as a stabilizing force — keeping your energy aligned while allowing you to fully embrace joy, relaxation, and expansion.
It is said that chanting the Lakshmi mantra 108 times a day for 44 consecutive days brings blessings in wealth, health, and love. Pair her with Ganesha — who removes what's been blocking the door — and watch what becomes possible. This fall, we do both.
Who Is Lord Ganesha?
Ganesha is one of the most beloved and widely worshipped deities in the Hindu tradition. Recognized by his elephant head, he is the son of Shiva and Parvati — and the very first god invoked before any new beginning, any important endeavor, any prayer.
He governs wisdom, intelligence, and success. But above all, he is known as the remover of obstacles — the one who dissolves what stands between you and what is yours. His four gifts:
Wisdom
Clarity of mind and the intelligence to see what is truly in front of you.
New Beginnings
The blessing of every new start — he is invoked first, always.
Success
The fulfillment of goals, the completion of what you have set in motion.
Obstacle Removal
The dissolving of what blocks your path — internal and external alike.
Who Is Lakshmi Ma?
Lakshmi is the Hindu Goddess of Wealth, Beauty, and Grace, blessing both the physical and spiritual realms. She is depicted as a radiant goddess with four arms, standing on a full-bloomed lotus while holding a budding lotus in her hand — symbolizing beauty, purity, and new beginnings.
Her four hands represent the puruṣārthas — the four essential aims of life:
Truth & Purpose
Living in alignment with truth, purpose, and integrity.
Love & Joy
The pursuit of love, joy, and meaningful desires.
Prosperity
The creation of prosperity, stability, and material well-being.
Liberation
Ultimate freedom and spiritual awakening.
These mantra processes are
wildly transformative.
Whether you are at a crossroads, healing from a breakup, navigating a career shift, grieving a loss, or seeking expansion in any aspect of life — this process is for you. Over the years, participants have shared extraordinary transformations:

— JW
"The year before my first process I had left a 4-year relationship and moved 1,200 miles away, starting over at 54. I was scared and struggling financially. Literally as soon as I signed up things started happening. Lakshmi has changed my life in ways I could not have imagined."

— AB
"I found the notes from my first Lakshmi Process. I wrote down a specific salary amount, then crossed it out and made it bigger. It's truly amazing how much I've accomplished. Things that were once a dream are now my reality."

Common Questions
What if I miss a day of chanting?
The 44 days must be consecutive. If you skip a day, you'll need to start the count over from day one. This is part of the sacred commitment — and part of what makes it so powerful.
Is this for beginners?
Yes. You don't need any prior experience with mantra or meditation. Neelou guides you through everything.
What language is the mantra in?
Sanskrit. Neelou teaches you the mantra and pronunciation — you'll know it by heart within the first few days.
How much time does it take each day?
Live sessions run 60 minutes, Monday through Friday. If you can't make it live, the recording is available. And if you're short on time, you can always chant on your own — depending how slow you chant, the two mantras take less than 15 minutes.
What if I can't make a live session?
Recordings are available for all daily mantra sessions and Tuesday evening gatherings through December 30th. The only sessions that must be attended live are the Sunday Protection Rituals (and those are optional).
What if I'm traveling or in a different time zone?
The process is fully digital and open to all countries. If the live times don't work, the recordings have you covered.
Can I join if I've done this process before?
Absolutely. We have a core group of people who have been doing these consecutively for years — because the group energy is so magical! Each round is a new intention, a new container, and a new opportunity to call in what you're ready for next. You're always welcome back.
What's the difference between the regular process and VIP?
Both include full access to everything inside the container. VIP adds a private 30-minute 1:1 session with Neelou — time that's typically not available outside of her Mastermind. Use it to work with your intention, receive deeper support, or personal guidance as you move through the process.

Add a Ritual Candle to Your Practice 🔥
Fire is one of the most powerful elements in sacred practice. I use these candles with every mantra process — infusing my intention into them at the start, and allowing them to support integration as the 44 days come to a close. As the candle burns, it holds your intention and carries it forward. A beautiful companion to the work.
