what is the hierarchial position of goddess lakhsmi?

[Guest guest]

Is Ramanujas religion monotheistic or polytheistic?

If it is monotheistic who is the god?

If it is Hari, then who is Goddess Laxmi?

Does she have equal power as of Sri Hari, or is she inferior to Hari?

Was she a creation of Hari?

If it is so then how can Hari marry her?Is not she his daughter then?

If only Hari is paramathma then is Laxmi jeevathma?

Hare Krishna,

 

In Visistadvaita school, Lord Hari is the only independent entity as in Dvaita school.

 

Goddess Lakshmi is above Jivas in that SHE was never under Maya at any time, but always sobordinate and dependent on Lord Hari.

 

Since Lord Hari does not have a material body like us and subject to illusions like us, your questions on the position of Goddess as a wife of Lord Hari does not hold water. The position of Goddess as wife only stresses her speciality of relationship between Lord Hari and HERSELF that none else can ever have. Please do not apply human standards here.
