** Our Devi of the week ** Laksminarayani

[Guest guest]

The Absolute Self. The Supreme Bliss !

 

As Laksminarayani, Lakshmi is the fused androgyne form of Vishnu

(right side) and Lakshmi (left side), expressing essentially the same

truths contained in the Shiva-Parvati fusion of Ardhanariswari.

 

" Inherent in the (principle of ) existence, whether manifested

or

unmanifested, I am at all times the inciter ( potential elements of

all things). I manifest myself ( as the creation). I ultimately

dissolve myself ( at the time of destruction) and I occupy myself

with activity ( when creation starts functioning )

 

I alone send ( the creaton ) forth and (again) destroy it. I absolve

the sins of the good. As the ( mother ) earth towards all beings, I

pardon them ( all their sins ). I mete everything out. I am the

thinking process and I am contained in everything"( 50.65.67)
