Namaste all.
I already posted this post at http://www.hindunet.com/forum/showfl...5635#Post65635
Dear brothers and sisters,I can assure you that the reason I want to became wealthy is not just to be wealthy.Thanks to much wealth,I will not need to work anymore.
Even my family will not need to work anymore.
So,thanks to the fact that I will have much free time and because of many money,I will use all my free time for spiritual purposes.I will buy many spiritual books,I will do many travels to Sri vaishnava temples in India.And I will use money to build at least a Laxmi-Narayana temple in my country and I will help poor people.I will try do many good deeds.Because I will not work anymore,I will use all my free time for devotional activities.
One may say that if I will became wealthy I will bacame a materialist man.But I can assure you that I developed enough vairagya thanks to my religion.
I already know that while some men become materialist because of wealth,I will obtain peace of mind because I know how to use it.Because of my work,almost every day I have to have to do with people that ruin my peace of mind.
My questions is:which deity is better to worship in order to obtain quickly wealth?
Please read what happens in the Chapter XI of the first book of Sri Vishnu Purana.

Having thus spoken, Dhruva went forth from his mother's dwelling: he quitted the city, and entered an adjoining thicket, where he beheld seven Munis sitting upon hides of the black antelope, which they had taken from off their persons, and spread over the holy kusa grass. Saluting them reverentially, and bowing humbly before then, the prince said, "Behold in me, venerable men, the son of Uttánapáda, born of
p. 88
[paragraph continues] Suníti. Dissatisfied with the world, I appear before you." The Rishis replied; "The son of a king, and but four or five years of age, there can be no reason, child, why you should be dissatisfied with life; you cannot be in want of any thing whilst the king your father reigns; we cannot imagine that you suffer the pain of separation from the object of your affections; nor do we observe in your person any sign of disease. What is the cause of your discontent? Tell us, if it is known to yourself."
Dhruva then repeated to the Rishis what Suruchi had spoken to him; and when they had heard his story, they said to one another, "How surprising is the vehemence of the Kshetriya nature, that resentment is cherished even by a child, and he cannot efface from his mind the harsh speeches of a step-mother. Son of a Kshetriya, tell us, if it be agreeable to thee, what thou hast proposed, through dissatisfaction with the world, to accomplish. If thou wishest our aid in what thou hast to do, declare it freely, for we perceive that thou art desirous to speak."
Dhruva said; "Excellent sages, I wish not for riches, neither do I want dominion: I aspire to such a station as no one before me has attained. Tell me what I must do to effect this object; how I may reach an elevation superior to all other dignities." The Rishis severally thus replied.--Maríchi said; "The best of stations is not within the reach of men who fail to propitiate Govinda. Do thou, prince, worship the undecaying (Achyuta)." Atri said; "He with whom the first of spirits, Janárddana, is pleased, obtains imperishable dignity. I declare unto you the truth." Angiras said; "If you desire an exalted station, worship that Govinda in whom, immutable and undecaying, all that is, exists." Pulastya said; "He who adores the divine Hari, the supreme soul, supreme glory, who is the supreme Brahma, obtains what is difficult of attainment, eternal liberation." "When that Janárddana," observed Kratu, "who in sacrifices is the soul of sacrifice, and who in abstract contemplation is supreme spirit, is pleased, there is nothing man may not acquire." Pulaha said; "Indra, having worshipped" the lord of the world, obtained the dignity of king of the celestials. Do thou adore, pious youth, that Vishńu, the lord of sacrifice." "Any thing, child, that the mind covets," exclaimed Vaśisht́ha, "may be obtained by propitiating
p. 89
[paragraph continues] Vishńu, even though it he the station that is the most excellent in the three worlds."
Dhruva replied to them; "You have told me, humbly bending before you, what deity is to be propitiated: now inform me what prayer is to he meditated by me, that will offer him gratification. May the great Rishis, looking upon me with favour, instruct me how I am to propitiate the god." The Rishis answered; "Prince, thou deservest to hear how the adoration of Vishńu has been performed by those who have been devoted to his service. The mind must first be made to forsake all external impressions, and a man must then fix it steadily on that being in whom the world is. By him whose thoughts are thus concentrated on one only object, and wholly filled by it; whose spirit is firmly under control; the prayer that we shall repeat to thee is to be inaudibly recited: 'Om! glory to Vásudeva, whose essence is divine wisdom; whose form is inscrutable, or is manifest as Brahmá, Vishńu, and Śiva 2.' This prayer, which was formerly uttered by your grandsire, the Manu Swáyambhuva, and propitiated by which, Vishńu conferred upon him the prosperity he desired, and which was unequalled in the three worlds, is to be recited by thee. Do thou constantly repeat this prayer, for the gratification of Govinda."
I am very interested to what Sage Vasishtha says:
Any thing, child, that the mind covets may be obtained by propitiating Vishńu, even though it he the station that is the most excellent in the three worlds.
I covet wealth,so I think that in order to obtain it I should propitiate Lord Vishnu by reciting many times every day tha mantra "Om Namo Bhagavate Vasudevaya".
Or I may propotiate more Sri Maha-Lakshmi by reciting Om Sri MahaLakshmiay namah.
Or I may propitiate a great deva like Lord Shiva.
At http://www.livelongto100years.com/mantras.html I found the following:
“Om Namah Sivaya”
It is the mantra of Lord Shiva. Many people have become multi-millioner from penniless by enchanting this mantra. Lord Shiva is very innocent God and bestows his blessings immediately on the devotee.
“Om Namo Bhagavate Vasudevaya”
The mantra of Lord Vishnu. Any thing in the world is possible by worshipping lord Vishnu, who sustains the life in world. Enchanting this mantra saves you from many types of troubles. It bestows the devotee with prosperity, peace, wealth etc.
So,who I should more in order to obtain quickly wealth?
Lord Vishnu,Sri Lakshmi,Lord Shiva?Or some other deva?
Please note that this questions is very important for me!
Regards,
Orlando.
