Essence of Gita         Gita in Malayalam

LAKSHMI, the wife of Vishnu, is also called Shree or the goddess of good fortune, lustre and wealth. Chant her mantra to get more money, better salary, promotion in Job and overall wealth.

Although she is associated with money, her true qualities are riches combined with radiance and wealth which creates a quality of life that includes beauty, grace and love. Her mythical birth from the cosmic ocean, her marriage with Vishnu and her incarnations along with her husband, portray her also as the preserver of the world. She is considered so auspicious that a beloved daughter or virtuous daughter-in-law is called Lakshmi. In many sculptures and paintings, Lakshmi is shown as a beautiful woman sitting or standing in a red lotus signifying love, grace and peace. She is the Indian ideal of feminine beauty.

But in most Vishnu temples, she is portrayed as his consort.s Lakshmi is the goddess of wealth, peace and prosperity. She will help you to obtain wealth, luxuries, status, promotion in job

LAKSHMI'S FOOTPRINTS: Auspicious Presence Stop across the doorway from any mud-walled, thatched villa hut in India and you see tiny, delicately- drawn female footprints on walls and thresholds. These stylized footprints drawn in white and Vermillion are an ancient graphic design depicting Laksmi the goddess of lustre and good fortune. Particularly on festive days, women draw these small, auspicious footprints on thresholds at twilight to welcome Lakshmi, who bestows wealth and wisdom, health and good cheer. She is the consort or wife of Lord Vishnu and is the goddess of prosperity, purity, chastity and generosity. Her four hands represent four spiritual virtues. She sits on a fully blossomed lotus, a seat of divine truth. Her personal charm is considered par excellence. An aura of divine happiness, mental and spiritual satisfaction, and prosperity always exist around her. Her palm is always extended to bless people. She is adored by Lord Ganesha.

As was mentioned earler, Lakshmi is the consort of Vishnu. She is supposed to encompass beauty and wealth all in one. She is similar to the greek goddess of Beauty, Aphrodite.

This is her mantra: Aum Sring Hring Kleeng Maha Lakxmaye Namah Aum
