When is goddess lakshmi worshipped

She understood the pain of Lakshmi and grants her the joy of being a mother. She was ecstatic and resolved to bestow Ganesha with all her achievements and blessings. From then, it becomes mandatory to worship Lord Ganesha before Lakshmi.

Those who will worship and pray before Lakshmi have to worship Ganesha first. If you worship the Goddess without Ganesha, you will not get the grace and blessings of the Goddess. Therefore, Lakshmi is always worshipped along with Ganesha on the occasion of Deepawali celebrations. Also if you will attain wealth without having the right wisdom, the money will not be of any use.

If you have the right intellect, you will always magnify your riches. So seek the dual blessings of the mother-son duo and let the intelligence lead your wealth first. Let the lights and glittering shine brings abundance, fortune, luck and prosperity in your life.

Celebrate this divine festival of lights and happiness in a traditional way. Get the blessings of Lord Ganesha and Goddess Lakshmi to ensure all the blessings of the duo for you and your family members.

It insisted on the presence of Lakshmi beside him. He represents righteousness; she represents compassion. She is like a mother intervening between a stern father God and an errant son the devotee.

In Tantrik texts, which were composed around the same time as the Puranas, Lakshmi acquired supreme importance. She was Maha-Lakshmi, the supreme goddess. Lakshmi is often differentiated from Maha-Lakshmi. While the former is the consort of Vishnu and the goddess of wealth, Maha-Lakshmi is viewed as an autonomous entity, the supreme embodiment of the mother-goddess. When worshipped as Maha-Lakshmi, Lakshmi is not visualised as a beautiful goddess seated on a lotus, pot in hand, but like a virginal warrior-goddess riding a lion, much like Durga.

This form of the goddess is especially popular in Maharashtra. Ancient Pancharatra texts that adore Maha-Lakshmi consider her to be the root of all creation. In the beginning, they say, the cosmic soul—the unfathomable unmanifest Narayana—desired to create the cosmos.

But he did not have the resources to do so. As he pondered over this problem, his dormant energy, his shakti, burst forth in a blinding light, manifesting as Maha-Lakshmi. Maha-Lakshmi placed the seed of divine desire in the palm of her hand and unleashed the dynamic forces of creation until the three worlds took shape and all forms of life came forth. I am the inciter, the potential that takes shape.

I manifest myself. I occupy myself with activity and finally dissolve myself. I pervade all creations with vitality, will and consciousness. Like ghee that keeps a lamp burning, I lubricate the senses of living beings with the sap of my consciousness.

Lakshmi is the divine power that transforms dreams into reality. She is prakriti , the perfect creation: self-sustaining, self-contained Nature. She is maya , the delightful delusion, the dream-like expression of divinity that makes life comprehensible, hence worth living. She is True Essence and resides in the Lotus of Peace in infinite communion. When we worship, we focus our attention; that is what worship is.

This story highlights the good fortune and success that Lakshmi bestows upon those who work hard and seek help sincerely. It also demonstrates that during times of success, one must never become complacent or arrogant, as success has a way of getting away from people.

Hindus believe that anybody who worships Lakshmi sincerely, and not in greed, will be blessed with fortune and success. It is said that Lakshmi resides in places of hard work, virtue and bravery, but leaves whenever these qualities are not apparent any more. Lakshmi is particularly worshipped during the festival of Diwali. This festival commemorates the epic story, Ramayana. Ramayana is the legend of Lord Rama's battle with the demon Ravana, in which Lakshmi features.

In the story of Ramayana, Sita is married to Lord Rama. Hindus believe Sita is an incarnation of Lakshmi. The story tells us that Rama had been cast out of his rightful kingdom, and had gone to live in a forest with his wife and brother. The battle between Rama and the demon Ravana begins when Ravana abducts Sita from the forest. The epic follows the story of Rama defeating the demon, and his eventual return to his kingdom.

As the three heroes, Rama, his brother Lakshman and Sita, returned home, people lit candles to guide their way in the dark. In honour of this, on the second day of Diwali people light candles in their homes to guide Lakshmi, in the hope that she will bestow good fortune on their home for the coming year.

After worshipping Lakshmi on Diwali, many Hindus gamble and spend profusely, believing that Lakshmi has bestowed good fortune upon them.
