Guest guest Posted October 28, 2008 Report Share Posted October 28, 2008 Happy Mahalaxmi! Mahalakshmi is the name for great laws of Nature called a Goddess. Lakshmi is the embodiment of Love, from which devotion to God or Bhakti flows from. It is through Love/Bhakti or Lakshmi that the atma or soul is able to reach God or as he is called in Hindu religion Vishnu. She is also the personification of the Spiritual energy within us and universe called Kundalini. Lakshmi is also the embodiment of God's superior spiritual feminine energy or the Param Prakriti, which purifies, empowers and uplifts the individual. Hence, She is called the Goddess of Fortune.She has a complexion of coral and is seated on a lotus. She is seen in two forms, Bhudevi and Sridevi, both either side of Sri Venkateshwara or Vishnu. Bhudevi is the representation and totally of the Material world or energy called the aparam Prakriti, in which She is called Mother Earth. Sridevi is a name for the Spiritual world or energy called the Param Prakriti. Most people are mistaken that they are separate beings although they are one, Lakshmi. All the different goddesses in the Hindu pantheon are manifestations, or different forms of Lakshmi.[citation needed] Mahalakshmi's presence is also found on Lord Sri Venkateswara (at Tirumala) or Vishnu's chest, at the Heart. I hope this reminder and common attention and blessings around the Divine Feminine are inspiration and support for you, whatever religion. Hinduism has many lovely ways to honor and celebrate different ways of manifesting of the One supreme God. For prosperity that nurtures the greatest good - Ysha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
