Abundance and How You Can Evoke It

Abundance is on the inside. It’s a feeling first, the physical manifestation comes second. It is a state in which you have the feeling of plentifulness of life. Our inner mind, once cultivated, can deeply & fully appreciate the fullness of life and respect for the creative energy of the universe.

This state always keeps you fulfilled and prosperous in life rather than focusing on scarcity and lack. To evoke abundance, all we need to do is tap into the universal abundance and creative energy. This universal energy has unlimited potential that goes beyond our imagination and belief. It can be cultivated by shifting our inner energy and practicing gratitude, mindfulness, positive thinking, and generosity.

One of the remarkable ways to evoke abundance in life is by giving gifts. When you give someone a thoughtful gift, it represents sharing your abundance with them. This shows that you are acknowledging that you are abundant, and this act of generosity evokes positive energy that flows back to you.

Long Tradition of Gift Giving in Indian Mythology

Gift-giving is not something that has been practised recently. This practice of abundance has been a part of ancient tradition and has been mentioned in several Indian mythologies and world history. Since then, the act of gifting continues to be a form of love, respect, and appreciation. A thoughtful gift also enhances the positive bond between people.

Kubera, the god of wealth, is often depicted as a generous deity who bestows riches upon devotees. In Mahabharat, he presents ‘Alakapuri’ - his city of gold to the Pandavas. In another such incident, Draupadi receives a magical vessel called the ‘Akshaya Patra’ from the sun god Surya, which provides an endless supply of food. Akshaya Patras symbolizes inexhaustible abundance and the divine blessing of sustenance. In the Ramayana, Lord Ram offered his signet ring to Lord Hanuman, which he gave to Sita to strengthen her confidence. 

King Harishchandra, an Indian king from the Gahadavala dynasty, known for his unwavering truthfulness and generosity, once gave away his entire kingdom to the sage Vishwamitra as a gift. His story symbolizes moral abundance and integrity. In another incident, Lord Vamana (an avatar of Lord Vishnu), asks King Bali for a plot of land three steps in his foot size. When Bali agrees, Vishnu covers the universe in two steps and King Bali, determined to uphold his word, offers Vamana his own head to land the third step. Seeing King Bali’s resolute stand, Vamana grants Bali immortality and ‘Pataal Lok’ as a reward for his devotion. This story symbolizes the divine gift of eternal abundance and the rewards of purity of one's intentions and actions.

All such events of Hindu mythology showcase how the act of gifting has transcended over time.

How Gifts Can Evoke Abundance

Gifts have the power to evoke abundance in both the receiver and giver. Gifting someone gives you a sense of abundance, leaving no room for a scarcity mindset. Eventually, it will spark happiness within you to fulfil someone’s desires or needs. This very act of gifting releases positive energy into the universe, attracting the abundance back. On the flip side, receiving a thoughtful gift invokes abundance, leaving them feeling valued and appreciated. Overall, gifting creates an abundance that extends beyond material possessions.

4 Unique Gifts that Symbolize Abundance

1. Ghee - A sacred offering

Ghee, a sacred offering in Hinduism, is gifted to evoke abundance and prosperity. In Hindu rituals, A2 cow ghee, extracted from the traditional bilona method, is often offered to deities as a symbol of devotion. In Vedic rituals, known as yajnas, ghee played a central role as an offering. It was poured into the sacred fire (Agni) to please the deities and invoke their blessings. The smoke from the burning ghee was believed to carry prayers to the heavens. Lighting the ‘akhandjyoti’ (diya) with ghee has been a part of rituals and ceremonies that have persisted through centuries. It is also a way to invite Lord Kuber, the treasurer of wealth, to your homes. Ghee diya symbolizes purity, devotion, and the triumph of light by dispelling darkness and ushering in prosperity and good fortune. 

By gifting ghee to others, you can invite blessings and abundance in return. 

2. Raw Honey — A symbol of life, resurrection, and nature

Bees and raw honey symbolize wealth, good luck, and prosperity. It has been mentioned in the holy books and would make an ideal thoughtful gift. In the Bible, honey is mentioned 60 times and represents God's gift and grace, God’s land and rescue, and God’s law and word. In the Quran, a separate surah named “Nahl” (meaning “bee” in Arabic) states “There are cures for humans in honey.”  Vishnu, Krishna, and Indra, the Madhava of Hinduism, are symbolized by the bee, representing life, rebirth, and nature's harmony. By gifting raw honey, you can bring abundance and sweetness into the lives of recipients. 

3. Kesar (Saffron) — A symbol of healing & good luck

Saffron, a treasure discovered in Greece, has spread across the globe. Its arrival in Kashmir is believed to date back to the 12th century. Local legend tells of Sufi saints, Khawaja Masood Wali and Sheikh Sharif-u-din Wali, gifting a crocus bulb to a chieftain as a token of gratitude for healing them. As Kesar is the world’s most expensive spice, offering it to someone symbolizes luxury and preciousness. Gifting such valuable spice attracts abundance for yourself and the one you give it to. That being said, present Kesar to someone you love and wish them a flourishing life.

4. Coconut Oil - A symbol of life, gods and desires

Coconut palm, the most ubiquitous, is one of the five legendary Kalpavriksha (the life-giving divine tree). Coconut is used for all Hindu rituals, symbolizing divinity, and offered to God as a part of divinity. In many prayers, coconut is used as a symbol of God, and the three dots in the coconut symbolise the three eyes of Lord Shiva. This thoughtful gift also holds immense health benefits. 

Offering coconut oil makes the perfect versatile gift, reflecting the tradition and your thoughtful selection for the recipient. Consuming this oil raw or mixing it with cinnamon boosts metabolism. Also, applying this oil topically nourishes skin and hair and makes it perfect for baby massaging.
