Sri Suktam is a vedic hymn addressed to Goddess Lakshmi, the companion of Vishnu.  She is the representative of abundance in all its forms, accessible to all and readily responsive the effects of yagyas when sincerely performed.

Significance of Sri Sukta :

The word Veda means knowledge, and the Vedas are considered the most sacred scripture of Hinduism referred to as sruti, meaning what was heard by or revealed to the Rishis or Seers. The most holy hymns and mantras put together into four collections called the Rig, Sama, Yajur, and Atharva Vedas.Rigveda is a Veda in form of Sukti's, which mean 'beautiful statements'. 

A collection of very beautifully composed incantations itself is a Sukta. The Sukta is also synonymous to Richas. 'Rit' means - an incantation that contains praises and Veda means knowledge.Suktas are chanted in Vedic hymns (songs). They are in praise of different forms of the God/Goddess, which are known as “SUKTAMS”.Sri Suktam is one of the pancha suktas such as Purusha Suktam,Narayana Suktam,Sri Suktam,Bhu Suktam and Nila Suktam.
For the adoration of Lakshmi, there is no hymn equal to the Sri Sukta...The letters, syllables and words in the fifteen verses of Sri Sukta, collectively form the sound body of Lakshmi, the presiding deity of this Hymn. As it has come to us from the consciousness state of the Rishi (seer), the substance is Chit, the creative energy in Vaikhari or gross from of sound. 
The universe is conceived and born of sound. Light is nothing but a sound of a particular frequency. All that we see in this worlds in solid, liquid, or gaseous state has emanated from sound. Even our mind is the crystal of sound. Nama (name) is sound from which rupa (form) has come. To cut it short, Sri Sukta is a Siddha Mantra and is a radiant mass of energy. By proper Sadhana, the jiva can raise itself to a divine status. But to attain this, it is very vital that the meaning of the Mantras are correctly understood, intoned and also remembered at the time of recitation.


The Sri Sukta of the Veda is recited with benefit especially on Fridays, together with formal worship of the Goddess, for peace, and all-round prosperity. Lakshmi, who is usually identified as the Spouse of Vishnu, or Narayana, represents the glory and magnificence of God. Narayana and Lakshmi, actually, stand for Being and Becoming. The Creator in all His glory manifests Himself in the variety in creation.
