Once Upon A Time
the world was dark and grim, as the balance of power dramatically tilted from the Gods to the demons. Without their immortality, the Gods were lost and defeated. That is until Vishnu came up with an idea for the Gods to take back power.
His grandiose plan was to recover the elixir of immortality and Lakshmi, the Goddess of radiance, love and abundance, from the depths of the ocean.
Day in and day out, the Gods churned the milky ocean, bringing marvellous treasures to the surface.
After thousands of years, Lakshmi finally emerged in all her radiant beauty. Seated on a blossoming lotus flower, she locked eyes with Vishnu, and they have been inseparable ever since.
Lakshmi Wisdom
Lakshmi shows us that gratitude, devotion, and charity are key to living an abundant life. As Lakshmi freely gives coins, we too must be committed to share our fortunes. Remember that with every charitable act, you receive much more in return.
Lakshmi also helps us embrace the entire Self, even those forgotten or denied parts of the Self that we would rather keep buried. Like an onion, pull each layer back to reveal your full radiant soul.
