Who is Lakshmi?
Goddess Lakshmi is an archetype of Light, beauty, good fortune and wealth. A Lakshmi Puja, like Lakshmi herself, symbolizes the source and provision of all one’s needs, obligations and desires. She’s not limited to a belief system or culture, but part of a rich inner hierarchy. She represents your own generous nature that brings wealth and success. In mythology, Lakshmi is the female counterpart of Vishnu. Traditionally, the goddess desires to be loved, bestowing riches to industrious and generous devotees. Her symbolism activates rich inner resources of being; her name vibrates the full meaning of good fortune. ‘Lakshmi’ is derived from the Sanskrit for goal or objective, ‘Laksya’. Its root is ‘lakh’, one hundred thousand, denoting a large amount or monetary-unit. In ‘Lakshmi’, ‘lakh’ symbolizes abundant-blessings.
