Usually, in temples Goddesses are adorned with lots of jewellery and so someone associated with the temple thought they would get a lot of money by stealing the Goddess!!! They stole Mother Lakshmi but as luck would have it, the police found the theives and took the Goddess to the police station...Now, an owl which the carrier of Lakshmi, decided to pay respect to Divine Mother... People heard about this and they too wanted to join in the worship - and pay their respect!.. The police station became a temple. :-) Dear Ramya ~ thank you for sharing this wonderful story with us. Imagine seeing it on tv! (Or actually being there.) Today, I just unpacked my refrigerator magnet, which is an image of Mother Lakshmi. I was so happy. Most of you know I have been living in a trailer, and my refrigator's surface was not magnetized, so I only had a tiny area, the vent cover of my stove, to put magnets on. Even so, Laksmi was there too. Now I have a big refrigerator that I can cover with all my magnets of Krishna, Shiva and Parvati, Ganesha ... and I will have to look for a magnet of an owl. : ) It is such a small thing, that even a refrigerator magnet with Mother Laksmi's image could give me such feelings of happiness.
