Guest guest Posted July 20, 2006 Report Share Posted July 20, 2006 Omm, the explanation on performing Laxmi puja was not mine to give, it belongs to Rudra Centre website, and most importantly to MahaLaxmi and the sages who practiced, recorded and attained results from this particular puja. Don't worry, we won't mistake what you're saying. We understand your point of view in a certain aspect. In fact, we thank you for sharing what you think and feel. However, would you consider that since Laxmi is Vishnu's Shakti (spouse) and Narayana is one avatar of Vishnu, when one prays to Laxmi, he/she also gets Vishnu's blessings. When we worship Vishnu, we also get Laxmi's blessings by extension as they are linked, married. Just going from the top of my head (correct me if I'm wrong) --------------------------- When it comes to worship of Shaligram, then Vaishnavite tradition of having Tulsi Leaves adorning or surrounding Shaligram is important as Tulsi is Laxmi and Shaligram is Narayana. Other that this, the above bits are largely generalized as there are more Smarta Hindus these days who are open to trying anything that works. Whether Shaivite, Vaishnavite, Smarta, Shakta, doesn't matter. Its what works for each individual thats more important. God's blessings be yours. , pleasant tune <pleasant_tune2002 wrote: > > Dear Sir, > You have given nice explonation and performing pooja of Sri Mahalakshmi.
