Guest guest Posted December 21, 2007 Report Share Posted December 21, 2007 Namaste Sarbani Bahen, You have written 'Truth' which is generally forgotten,now a days,due to excessive greed in the people, even of the great Bharat Varsha. your few lines on Mother has really delighted me on this day, which is Friday and i am in front of Mother Mahalakshmi. may mother bless !! utpal > It is blasphemy to associate Lakshmi with greed. In fact Lakshmi, does not have much to do with money. She is Sri personified in every sense and prosperity is just one angle. Lakshmi is the very symbol of marriage and is worshipped in every household by married women and without her blessings no one can get married. This is common knowledge. However, in India, it has become a fad to differentiate the forms of Lakshmi, such as Dhana Lakshmi and associate her with the begetting of money and wealth. That is why Sanjayji was emphatic to make that statement in Atri class and advised that it better to advise the worship of the form of the goddess as a mother, as at least she will be perceived as a mother. This is far more preferable then viewing one's wife from the angle of monetary gains. And given the current and common perception of Lakshmi, it is very likely that people would make this error of judgement. Hence the advise of parvati was suggested. > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
