Question
Hey. I need help with this word. OM MAHALAXMI NAMH. How do
you say it and whats it mean?

Answer
Dear Shari,

Im native in the croatian language so i can't be 100% sure regarding this but it sounds like a hindu chant.Om (or aum) is the symbol in hinduism that they hold sacred and it represents their impersonal God or brahman

Mahalaxmi(or mahalakshmi)is the Hindu goddess of wealth, prosperity, purity, and generosity   maha=great lakshmi=goddess

i think namh maybe should be namah and means something along the lines of salutations

So i think its basically a chant worshipping/invoking lakshmi


Thankyou for your question
