"Om Mahalakshmai Cha Vidmahe, Vishnu Patanyai Cha Dhimahi, Tanno Lakshmihi Prachodayat"
"Om. May we meditate on the Great Goddess Sri Lakshmi, the consort of Sri Maha Vishnu. May that effulgent Maha Lakshmi Devi inspire and illumine our mind and understanding." ❤️πŸ•‰πŸ™
This is the Gayatri Mantra of Maa Lakshmi. Sri Mahalakshmi is often depicted as an indescribably beautiful woman, seated on a full-bloomed lotus, holding lotus buds in two of her hands, a pot of gold in the third and benignly blessing all those who come to her for succour. In some pictures She is flanked by elephants, which symbolises her royal status. Lakshmi, being the Goddess of Wealth, is also depicted as dressed in rich red silk, fully ornamented from head to toe in gold and precious stones. Lakshmi's four hands represent four spiritual virtues. The fully bloomed lotus she is seated on, represents the seat of Divine Truth. The aura of joy surrounding her depicts mental and spiritual balance. Peace and prosperity always exist around her. The lotus remains completely uncontaminated, even though rooted in the dirtiest, muddiest waters. This teaches us to go beyond the surface of worldly contamination and proceed deep into life, to learn precious spiritual truths from it. The lotus also embodies purity, fertility and the growth of organic life - the lotus also grows from out of Shri Vishnu's navel. Maa Lakshmi's vehicle, the Owl is a bird that signifies wisdom and that sleeps through the day and prowls through the night. This is because it can only see in the dark, and goes blind in the day. This partial blindness in the creature is actually indicative of a sadhaka's (seeker) tendency of going toward the pursuit of secular instead of spiritual wealth. πŸ™πŸ»πŸŒ·πŸ“ΏπŸ•‰❤️πŸŽ¨πŸ™πŸ»
