How lakshmi Valampuri And Sri lakshmi came ?

[Guest guest]

never wilt. Indra gave this garland to his elephant, Airavata. Sage Durvasa saw

the elephant trampling the divine garland and, short-tempered as he was, cursed

Indra, for he had shown disrespect to the sage. The sage cursed Indra that he

and all the gods would lose their power because it had made them so proud and

vain. Due to the curse, the demons vanquished the gods out of the heavens.

The defeated gods then went to seek refuge to the Creator Lord

nectar of immortality. The gods then went to Lord Vishnu, to seek his

assistance. Lord Vishnu took the Avatar Kurma (Tortoise) and supported the

Mandarachal mountain as a churning rod, while the king of the serpents, Vasuki,

became the churning rope. The gods and the demons (under the leadership of the

pious and wise King Mahabali) both helped each other in churning the ocean of

milk. Amongst the host of divine gifts which appeared from the ocean are

valampuri shank, White horse and white elephant , goddess Lakshmi appeared and

Shri Vishnu’s took her as her consort and kept the valampuri shank in his hand,

as only He had the power to control Maya (illusion). Because of this, Lakshmi is

also called the daughter of the sea; since the moon also appeared from the ocean

during the churning, the moon is called her

brother. Goddess Lakshmi is incorrectly connected only with money, and the

popular public perception is that she is the goddess of money. This, however,

is incorrect: the holy goddess is also the goddess of prosperity, divinity and

purity. She is also the goddess of Brahma-vidya (divine knowledge) and one of

her names is "Vidya" - which literally means knowledge. She is the goddess of

whom we ask for happiness in family, friends, marriage, children, food and

wealth, beauty and health. Hence she is a very popular goddess who is

worshipped by every Hindu. As she is the goddess of prosperity, she is also

called as Dharidranashini (destroyer of poverty) and

Dharidradvamshini (one who opposes poverty). Thank you Best Regards
