SRI MAHALAKSHMI


 

In our Srivaishnava sampradhayam “Sri” comes first always. Even in the temple we must first visit “Thaayar” then to “Perumal” sannidhi, with her blessings we could get His grace for sure. She is the goddess of wealth, prosperity for both material and spiritual life.  She is also the embodiment of beauty grace and generosity.

Goddess Lakshmi is the divine consort of Lord Vishnu. When Lord Vishnu took the Rama Avatar, Lakshmi took the incarnation of  Sitha devi. In Krishna Avatar, Goddess Lakshmi incarnated as Radha.

Goddess Lakshmi never leaves the heart of Lord Vishnu even for a moment since she takes care of us all the time along with Lord Vishnu’s grace.
