Mahalakshmi

This is an explanation of the photo on the group home page. This is

the murti that sits in the middle of the Cosmic alter in the Devi

Mandir and was hand made by Shree Maa.Maha Lakshmi is the Great

Goddess Who Defines All. She is the Being of this existence, Mula

Prakitti, the natural state of all existence even prior to

manifestation. Of the nature of Satwa Guna, She is Being, existence

as it is, the energy of activity, Kriya Shakti, Energy in motion,

Pure Light. Lakshya means the goal, and therefore Lakshmi is the

Ultimate Goal. Lakshya also means the definition, and therefore

Lakshmi defines the creation and all that is in it, and at the same

time She energizes it with the circumstances of each andevery

being.She with the beautiful face, the eighteen arm destroyer of the

Great Ego, is seated upon the lotus of peace. In Her hands She holds

the rosary of alphabets, the battle axe of good actions, the club of

articulations,

the club of articulation, the arrow of speech, the thunderbolt of

illumination, the lotus of peace, the bow of determination, the water

pot of purification, the staff of discipline, energy, the sword of

worship, the shield of faith, the conch of vibrations, the bell of

continuous tone, the wine cup of joy, the pike of concentration, the

net of unity, the discuss of revolving time, named Excellent

intuitive Vision. I worship that great Goddess of true wealth."
