Who is Vasudhara?

Vasudhara (Tib. Norgyunma), the Buddhist bodhisattva of money, prosperity, and abundance, is a Buddhist bodhisattva of riches, prosperity, and abundance. She is revered in many Buddhist countries and is depicted in Buddhist art and stories. Her reputation has spread to southern Buddhist countries, despite her origins as an Indian bodhisattva.

What is the mantra of Vasudhara?

The mantra of Vasudhara is Om Sri Vasudhara Ratna Nidhana Kashetri Soha.

Goddess Vasudhara is another manifestation of the Goddess Tara. According to the sutra, a generous and compassionate man who needs wealth to help the poor, requested the then human Shakyamuni Buddha for financial abundance. The Historical Buddha, Shakyamuni, then gave him the mantra of Goddess Vasudhara. But more than the material abundance, chanting this mantra will help attain spiritual growth as well.

What are the benefits of the Vasudhara mantra?

To be blessed by deities who will shower people with riches and prosperity, the Vasudhara mantra should be repeated.
