" "". Origin of Goddess Lakshmi – Goddess Lakshmi is the deity of prosperity, wealth, and fortune. She emerged from the ocean of milk (Kshir Sagar) during the churning of the ocean (Samudra Manthan), which was performed by the gods and demons in search of nectar (Amrit). After her emergence, she became the consort of Lord Vishnu and began to spread prosperity in the universe.
2. Consort of Lord Vishnu – Goddess Lakshmi is believed to be the eternal companion of Lord Vishnu. Whenever Vishnu incarnated on Earth, Lakshmi also took different forms—like Sita with Lord Rama and Rukmini with Lord Krishna. She continuously blesses her devotees with wealth, abundance, and success.
3. Importance of Charity and Dharma – Goddess Lakshmi bestows her grace on those who are hardworking, follow the path of truth, and help the needy. She does not favor laziness, dishonesty, or unrighteousness.
4. Diwali and Lakshmi Puja – On Diwali, special worship is performed for Goddess Lakshmi. People clean their homes and light lamps to invite her in, so she may bless them with wealth and happiness.
5. Protection from Alakshmi – A form of Lakshmi, known as Alakshmi, represents poverty and misfortune. Homes filled with impurity, laziness, and negativity attract Alakshmi. Therefore, to receive Lakshmi’s blessings, one must maintain cleanliness, virtue, and good deeds.
