tovishal2001 Posted September 22, 2003 Report Posted September 22, 2003 If wealth,dollars,money is all material then god of money,wealth,richness i.e. Lakshmi must be GOD of material things. Is it right? So why people need to worship her on diwali festival???? lets worship krishna...Lakshmi is not real god. right? Quote
Govindaram Posted September 22, 2003 Report Posted September 22, 2003 Sr Sri Lakshmi is the consort of Lord Sri Vishnu. She serves His lotus feet always. People worship Sri Sri Lakshmi-Narayana, some may have desires for only money, but praying to a pure devotee like Sri Sri Lakshmi for devotion to Lord Vishnu is best:) Quote
Guest guest Posted September 22, 2003 Report Posted September 22, 2003 In the Visnu puran the detailing of Lakshmi's creation is given. Upon creation, after the manifestation of Siva and Brahma (who both originate from Swayam Bhagwan Visnu) then from his left arm Laksmi manifests. And she herself is non different from Bhagwan Visnu himself. Praying to a cowherd boy and then denouncing Visnu and Laksmi is a sin. Quote

Guest guest Posted September 22, 2003 Report Posted September 22, 2003 Vishnu and krsna are non different. When you worship Krsna/Visnu, Laxmi ji automaticaly comes. She is the constant companion of Visnu. If you just worship Laxmi ji, she gives you all the wealth, houses, cars and such but no peace. If you just worship Krsna then Laxmi Automaticaly comes. She doesnt just give material benefit but also spiritual. Laxmi ji stays only if krsna is there. Otherwise she is Chanchal. Quote
I_love_krishna_ Posted September 22, 2003 Report Posted September 22, 2003 If laxmi gives material benefits if we worship krishna, why are some devotees who are pure still poor? Quote
aisharya Posted September 23, 2003 Report Posted September 23, 2003 Probably because they are not poor in their own eyes. What is poor? Not owning property, FAT cars, stocks? I think it is a great wealthy day when I have a nice plate of prasadam but I feel very poor when my crappy car breaks down and I have to ask my friends for mercy money to fix it. Quote
Guest guest Posted September 24, 2003 Report Posted September 24, 2003 i was wondering where you guys get those icons?? please let me know Quote
Haridham Posted September 24, 2003 Report Posted September 24, 2003 You can be materialy wealthy but spiritualy poor. Material wealth will only last this lifetime, spiritual wealth will last eternely. Hare krsna Quote
