There is a lot of misinformation being circulated about Lakshmi Bandhan. Yes, it exists, but it does not mean tying up or stopping your ability to make money, earn, or have a prosperous professional life. What it does mean is that lower energies, especially in your lower chakras and in your Mars (Mangal) center, may get dampened or blocked. The remedy is to revitalize and strengthen those energies. If you practise Tantra under guidance, worship of Maa Dhumavati may help; if not, you may turn to Maa Durga, Maa Chandi, Sri Ganesha, or your Ishta Deva to overcome energetic weakness and increase auspiciousness. Do not fall into the trap of so called tantrics who demand exorbitant fees to perform a puja to “relieve Lakshmi Bandhan” you have the power to liberate yourself.”
Let’s understand this from a traditional, tantric, and spiritual viewpoint.
What Is Lakshmi Bandhan?
In Vedic astrology and tantra, Lakshmi Bandhan (or Lakshmi Bandhana / Lakshmi Bandhan Dosh) is understood as a condition or spiritual binding that restricts the free flow of wealth, prosperity, and abundance in one’s life. It is believed by some practitioners that negative energies or binding rituals (by envious people) may “bandh” (bind) your Lakshmi, the cosmic energy of wealth and auspiciousness, thereby causing blocks, delays, or financial struggles. In astrological remedy guides, it is listed among “bandhan doshas” (binding afflictions) as the one that stops money from flowing from all directions.
But it is important to clarify: none of the classical tantric / śāstra texts speak of “tying up one’s earning power” as a valid principle. Instead, what many call Lakshmi Bandhan is a way of referring to energetic blockage in one’s lower chakras (Muladhara, Svadhisthana, or Manipura) or Mangal (Mars) center, the engine of vitality, willpower, and action. When these centers are weak, one’s capacity to act decisively, take risks, or manifest materially is hampered.
Thus, Lakshmi Bandhan is an internal energetic imbalance or block. When that block is removed and energy restored, prosperity can flow again.
Why You Panic and Get Exploited
Lakshmi Bandhan is spoken in dramatic terms like “your ability to earn is sealed or you will not be successful” to add sensationalism. Some fake tantra practitioners exploit this fear by offering expensive rituals, pujas, or “special tantric sadhanas” to “remove Lakshmi Bandhan.” But spiritual wisdom teaches that:
- True liberation comes from inner alignment, not a quick fix remedy.
- Mantras, rituals, or worship must be performed with disciple Guru initiation and correct method; random or commercialized rituals mostly fail or backfire.
- If someone demands exorbitant amount of money for a “Lakshmi Bandhan removal” without verifying your chart, that is a red flag, genuine tantra always includes initiation, understanding, and steps for self-empowerment.
You do have the power to free yourself from Lakshmi Bandhan with sincere practice, purification, and strengthening of your energetic centers.
The Remedy of Lakshmi Bandhan: Revitalise Lower Chakras & Worship
Here is an easy and simple spiritual roadmap to naturally overcome Lakshmi Bandhan:
- Chakra Strengthening Practices of Muladhara & Svadhisthana
- Deity Worship / Devotional Sadhana: If tantric initiation is possible, worship Maa Dhumavati (considered a goddess of dissolution of bondage) as a guide to release energies. If you have not undergone tantra practice, you can worship Maa Durga, Man Chandi, Sri Ganesha, or your Ishta Deva (chosen deity). These forms of the Divine Mother help strengthen your core, remove fear, and awaken blessings. Daily chanting of Durga Saptashati, Devi Stotras, or Ganapati Stotra can support inner alignment.
- Tapa, Vrata, Self Purification: Regular fasts, vows, meditations, ethical conduct cleanse inner channels. Service (seva) toward others humbles the ego and opens your energy to abundance. Study of Dharma, surrender, and devotion (bhakti) grant energetic support from the deeper chakras.
By gradually performing these practices, you can rebuild your lower chakra energies and dissolve the binding, not by paying someone else, but by reclaiming your own spiritual authority.
Understand This Clearly
Lakshmi Bandhan is not a magical curse that seals your income forever. It is a symbolic way of naming energetic blockages in your lower chakras or Mars center. Rather than fear it, you can restore those energies via disciplined practice, devotion, and purification. Whether through tantric worship of Maa Dhumavati (if properly guided) or by respectful devotion to Maa Durga, Maa-Chandi, Ganesha, or your Ishta Deva, you hold the power to renew your abundance.
Do not surrender your spiritual self to exploiters and face god men. Instead, awaken your inner strength. The path of tantra teaches: liberation comes from within, not by paying external forces.
May your prosperity flow freely, your chakras vibrate powerfully, and your spiritual light shine ever brighter. 🙏
Jai Shakti. Jai Lakshmi.
