In the soft twilight of Diwali Amavasya, when most homes glow with lamps and Lakshmi Puja chants, another powerful energy quietly unfolds: Kamala Jayanti, the day dedicated to Goddess Kamala, the tenth Mahavidya. This sacred celebration honours the Tantrik form of Goddess Lakshmi, the embodiment of both material abundance and spiritual awakening. In 2025, Kamala Jayanti will be observed on Tuesday, October 21, coinciding with the new moon of the Ashwina month (also known as the Purnimanta Kartika month).

Who is Goddess Kamala?

Goddess Kamala is one of the ten Mahavidyas, the supreme wisdom goddesses representing different aspects of the Divine Mother. She belongs to the Kali Kula and is known as the Vaishnavi Shakti of Lord Vishnu.

Kamala is often depicted seated on a fully bloomed lotus, surrounded by elephants showering her with water: a vision that symbolises purity, prosperity and spiritual evolution. She is sometimes called Tantrik Lakshmi, not because she is different from Goddess Lakshmi, but because her energy moves deeper, touching both the material and mystical realms of existence. In essence, Goddess Kamala is wealth in its highest form: not just money, but wisdom, fertility, nourishment and the power to create.

The Story of Goddess Kamala

Ancient texts like the Swatantra Tantra and Varahi Tantra tell a fascinating story about Goddess Kamala’s divine role in restoring balance to the universe. A demon named Kolasura once gained immense power and began to disrupt the order of the cosmos. The gods sought help, and from the heart of Lord Vishnu, the radiant Goddess Kamala emerged, seated on a lotus. Her presence calmed the turmoil, and her brilliance destroyed the darkness that Kolasura had spread.

Through her power, peace was restored, and prosperity returned to the world. The story reminds devotees that true wealth does not just come from possessions: it flows from harmony, gratitude and the courage to dissolve negativity from one’s life.

Why Kamala Jayanti is Spiritually Important

Kamala Jayanti is more than a festival of wealth. It is a reminder of the divine balance between abundance and awareness. Goddess Kamala blesses her devotees with financial stability, but her deeper gift lies in teaching the right relationship with prosperity, one based on gratitude, ethics and sharing.

Those who worship her on this day are blessed with:

• Steady income and prosperity

• Emotional and spiritual peace

• Fertility and protection of the womb

• Success in creative and professional pursuits

• Inner clarity and faith during challenging times

Her energy is both nurturing and protective. Where Lakshmi brings wealth, Kamala ensures it stays. Her blessings transform fleeting gains into lasting abundance.

Kamala’s Connection to Lord Vishnu

Goddess Kamala is the Leela Shakti, or divine play energy, of Lord Vishnu. She complements his role as the preserver of the universe. While Vishnu maintains order, Kamala sustains it through nourishment and grace. In Vedic hymns like the Purusha Sukta, she is described as the consort of Vishnu. The eternal pair that symbolises balance between stability and growth, awareness and compassion. To worship Kamala is to recognise the feminine force that fuels every act of creation, preservation and transformation.

The Symbolism of the Lotus in Kamala Worship

The lotus is the central symbol in Kamala’s imagery and rituals. It represents purity that thrives in imperfection: a flower that grows from mud yet remains untouched by it.

Just like the lotus, Goddess Kamala teaches that one can live amidst worldly chaos and still stay centred and pure. Her energy helps devotees detach from greed and focus on graceful abundance, not accumulation.

Placing a single lotus near your altar or offering it to her during Puja is considered highly auspicious.

Modern Relevance of Kamala Jayanti

In today’s fast-paced world, where wealth often feels uncertain and peace even more elusive, Kamala Jayanti offers a rare moment to reset. It reminds us that abundance is not just about what we earn, but how we live. Goddess Kamala’s worship encourages mindful prosperity: earning with integrity, spending wisely, and sharing generously. Her blessings are not only for the household but also for the heart. The message is timeless: true wealth flows where gratitude lives.
