some answers about making maha lakshmi as a partner in your prosperity

[Guest guest]

Dear Mr. Rajiv Prabhu,

 

Namaskar,

 

I read your message with interest and would like to add just my two

cents' worth:

 

Solaji first wrote about this topic and mentioned that the method for

worshipping Laxmi was taught by Shri Harish Johari who is one of

India's foremost traditional and genuine tantrikas, and who is also

author of many good books. Solaji is a friend of Shri Harish Johari

and hence learnt the method from him.

 

Regarding whether we can find references in holy texts that Laxmi

wears yellow in the abovementioned way of worship, I can only guess

it may be noted in Tantric Texts (they are all different from North

to South India). If not in Tantric Texts, then the method would have

been one of those that are taught by Guru to Shishya.

 

The rest, I'm sure Solaji will be able to enlighten us.

 

Om Namah Shivaya

> Few days back we were discussing about making Laxmi as partner

with my few learned friends who too are quite enlightened and do

astral travel while being in meditation and quite a few were of the

opinion that Goddess Laxmi does need our assistance at all as whole

wealth on this Brahmand is Hers. On the contrary Lord Venketeshwar of

Tirupati Balaji does need our assistance and in the texts it is

clearly mantioned that if we donate to Him, He will definitely bless

us. One can donate in any temple in His name and he need not go to

all the way at Tirupati for making such donation. Believe me I know

lots of people who have been greatly benefitted and blessed by

Srinivas the Lord Venketeshwar who has made Him as their business

partner.

> The story in brief goes as follows:

> Lord Venketshwar a incarnation of Lord Vishnu wanted to marry

Padmavati and He had to take a very big loan from Kuber to solmnise

the marriage, as He didnt have money for that. It is said that the

donations in Kalyuga in Tirupati temple would be just enough to pay

the interest on the loan amount given by Kuber. So you will see very

very big clout of businessmen has made Him their partner in the

business and donate the profit generated by the company at the temple

in His name.

> Now the question arises why not Laxmi would help Lord Vishnu in

clearing His debts. The answer is very simple, as per the Texts once

Lord Vishnu had some arguement with the Laxmi and Laxmi left Him and

at the same time She told Vishnu also that you will not get even a

penny for even eating. Now Vishnu was in a big problem and then this

story of Lord Balaji Happened which I had mentioned above.

> In this I want to further add that when Laxmi came to know about

the marriage of Venketshwar with Padmavati she became very angry and

came there furiously and was very annoyed. Now both Laxmi and

Padmavati had a fight which made Lord Vishnu so sad that He converted

Himself in a stone and this converted stone murti is now the present

Tirupai Balaji, Lord Venketshwar.

> But His loan however continued and that is how Lord Venketshwar

is blessing the devotees who are helping Him in returning the loan to

Kubera. So the relevance of Lord Venketeshwara making a partner is

more relevant.

> We must understand the point whether it is Laxmi or Lord

Venketshwar, ultimately the moral of the story is to take pout some

portion of our savings for donation to the needy and poor people.

> I would also want to make a point here that Laxmi dressed in

Yellow and blessing devotees is also I have not read in any Text

Mahadev. My humble request to you Prabhu is that I will be extremely

thankful to you if you can just tell me from which Text you have

taken this reference.

> On the contrary in Hindu religion yellow cloths are worn by those

ladies who sits in Kop Bhawan during few days of the month.

> Goddess Laxmi always blesses the devotees dressed in Red. This

is Her colour. On Diwali festival we always worship Red cladded Laxmi

and it is said that Laxmi visits all devotees who worship Her on this

auspicious day.

> Mahadev I would be very grateful if you too share your views

about prudence of making Laxmi a partner or Lord Venketshwar. And why

only laxmi just because She is Goddess of Wealth, and we want to

please Her, when actually all wealth in the universe is Hers, then

what wealth we sharing with Her Prabhu when all is Hers???
