The shreem mantra is a one-syllable sound known as a bija, or "seed," mantra. It is the bija mantra of Lakshmi, Hindu goddess of abundance and prosperity.



Shreem is also associated with the third-eye chakra, and is believed to be a divine sound that can connect the practitioner to universal consciousness. In yoga, shreem may be chanted to still and focus the mind during meditation.


Shreem comes from the Sanskrit root Shree (also translated as Sri), which is an honorific used as a sign of respect or to denote wealth and prosperity. The ‘m’ sound is thought to belong to divine powers, and so uniting this sound with shree is symbolic of paying respect to the divine.
