Rich as a God. 12 Financial Lessons from Sacred Texts of India

Why do some people attract money while others let it slip through their fingers? Two individuals may start under the same conditions, but one will live in abundance while the other is in perpetual debt. What is the reason for such different attitudes towards finances?

Devdutt Pattanaik, a mythologist and business consultant, after 20 years of research found the answer in Indian mythology. Here, the phenomenon of "financial talent" is presented as the favor of the goddess of wealth, Lakshmi – generous yet discerning. According to sacred texts, she blesses only those who follow the "laws of exchange." This means treating finances as a living energy and acting in a way that her flow never runs dry.

Based on ancient Indian treatises, Pattanaik explains how to attract the "force of Lakshmi" into your life and what principles to follow to increase your wealth with every decision and every step.

Through this book, you will learn:
· why joy and pleasure are not enemies of abundance, but its source;

· why to give away a part of your income and how it will increase your capital;
