SAMOOHIKA MAHALAKSHMI POOJA : SATURDAY, JULY 25TH
|
Mahalakshmi is the Goddess of wealth, prosperity and wisdom. She is the consort of Lord Vishnu and came down to earth as Seeta, the consort of Lord Rama; and as Rukmini, the consort of Lord Krishna. She has manifested in two forms as Sridevi and Bhoodevi. Sridevi is the spiritual energy, whereas, Bhoodevi is the material energy. She dwells in Narayana's chest. She is the embodiment of love, and God's superior spiritual feminine energy or the Param Prakriti, which purifies, empowers and uplifts the individual. Hence, she is called the Goddess of Fortune. Due to her motherly feelings and being the consort of Narayana (Supreme Being), she is worshipped as the Mother of the Universe.
July 25th is the Birthday of Sri Andal who is the incarnation of Bhoodevi, the manifested form of Mahalakshmi.
