During the crouching of Thiru Paarkadal, lots of precious things came out from that. And one among them was Sri Lakshmi with brightness.

After coming out from the Paarkadal, she resided on to the thiru Maarbu (Chest) of Sriman Narayanan.

Various Puranams say that Sri Lakshmi originated from Agni, Water, Land etc; but instead of analysing them, let us know about the great Goddess and how does She extends Her thirukKaram towards us.

WOW... full on stuff..

 

This culture is a mind-blower.

 

In the Gaudiya tradition one is first adviced to worship the Sri Sri Radha-Krsna murti as if they are Sri Sri Laksmi-Narayana. Surely Devi is the bestower of all good things.
