Gomti Chakra - Benefits, Uses & Remedies

The Gomti Chakra is a small, natural stone-like sea shell found in the Gomti river in Dwarka, Gujarat. One side is flat and the other has a raised spiral that resembles a chakra (wheel), which is why it is linked to the Sudarshan Chakra of Lord Vishnu and to Goddess Lakshmi. It is considered a powerful and inexpensive object for attracting wealth, protection and good fortune.

Because of its chakra-like spiral, the Gomti Chakra is believed to carry the energy of Vishnu and Lakshmi and to act as a natural shield against the evil eye (nazar) and negative energy. It is widely used in Lakshmi remedies for money, in protection rituals for children and the home, and as a Vastu correction tool. Its strength lies in simplicity - it works through faith, intent and correct placement.

Before using a Gomti Chakra in any remedy, energise it by chanting the Lakshmi mantra over it:

Om Shreem Hreem Shreem Mahalakshmyai Namah

or the simple Om Shreem Namah. Hold the chakras in your hand, chant the mantra 11 or 108 times, and set your intention for wealth or protection before placing them.

1. On a Friday or Diwali, take 11 Gomti Chakras, energise them, and keep them in your cash box, locker or money drawer to attract steady wealth. 2. Wrap a few chakras in a red cloth with a coin and some sweets, and keep this potli in the home temple or safe. 3. Place a chakra in your purse or wallet to prevent unnecessary expense. 4. Bury or place chakras at the four corners of a new home or shop for prosperity. 5. Offer Gomti Chakras to Lakshmi during Diwali puja and keep them through the year for continued blessings.

To guard against the evil eye, tie two Gomti Chakras in a black thread and hang them at the main door or around a child's neck or wrist. For Vastu dosh, place energised chakras in the affected corner or under a Tulsi plant. To remove negative energy from a home, keep a Gomti Chakra in each room or sprinkle water charged with the Lakshmi mantra. These simple steps are believed to keep the home peaceful and protected.

The Gomti Chakra is believed to attract and retain wealth, control wasteful spending, and invite the steady grace of Lakshmi. It protects the home and children from the evil eye and negative energy, helps correct Vastu dosh, and brings peace and good fortune. Being natural and affordable, it is one of the most popular and accessible prosperity remedies in Hindu households.

Always use a genuine Gomti Chakra with a clear spiral on one side. Energise it once with the Lakshmi mantra before use, and re-energise it during Diwali. Keep it clean and in a sacred or money-related space, never in a bathroom or on the floor. Treat it with respect; if a chakra breaks, immerse it respectfully in flowing water rather than throwing it away.
