Goddess Lakshmi also famously known as the Goddess of wealth and is the consort of Lord Sri Maha Vishnu. She is the daughter of the ocean. There are different forms in which she is worshiped by her devotees for different things which they are seeking from her. The owl is her vahana or vehicle. She is worshipped in the form of Ashta Lakshmi or in her eight different forms primarily.
She is also worshiped in other forms like Bhu Lakshmi etc. The Maha Lakshmi mantra is chanted by devotees regularly. It is not that the Goddess grants wealth only but is concerned about her devotees well being in all aspects of life. She is one among the triumverite of Goddess Saraswati, Lakshmi and Parvati.
Taking Her names in Sahasranamavali has numerous benefits for the devotees who do it with the right intention, purpose and for the betterment of one and all in the world. The Goddess is very pleased if devotees chant hyms or her name just because of the reverence and love they have for her. She takes care of her devotees and is their for them in their times of difficulty and despair. If they maintain regular contact with her spiritually and through hyms , mantras, dhyanam, parayanam, poojs, bhakti, tantra, aarti and other forms.
She is called by many names and Pankajakshi, Kamalakshi are but a few of them. She is fond of lotus flowers hence we find here holding the same and devotees when they offer her rose or lotuses when praying she is immensely pleased. She is benevolent and stays with her consort in His service but at the same time not forgetting about her dear devotees.
Friday is a special day for her and special poojas are conducted for her. During major festivals like Diwali, Dasera and Varalakshmi Vratam and others there are major community and house hold poojas and poojas conducted by traders too praying for increase in business and sources of revenue at this time they also worship books of accounts and even computers or any such thing which is used in business and is helpful for its growth.
She hold a major place in the heart of women devotees who pray her regularly all through the year for the betterment of the health, wealth, success, prosperity and increase in source of revenue by which the whole family can flourish so can the society and the country as a whole. Leading to no shortage of anything for all the people of the country. That is the reason doing pooja collectively has a great meaning and practical purpose.
One can also pray her through meditation or mantras only without any statue in place if one is not available for some reason. The good aspect of Hinduism per se is their are many methods to suit the person, his capacity, need, place, space, time, effort, amount of resources the method which he likes example music, chanting, meditation, calling out to the number of times he has decided to specified as per procedure etc.
She does not go to places which are not clean, that is clean by premises, heart, intent, purpose and reason behind what one wants to do with her blessings. If one does not respect what one has got or misuses it, as she is chanchal she will slip away from the devotees hand and he will end up loosing all the blessings received and the wealth and aishwaryam.
Humans generally are greedy and would like to have everything for themselves. Keeping this in mind the Goodess will be very happy if she happens to meet a devotee who is reflecting what she stands for from body, mind, heart and soul. For this we should go through the proper procedure to be followed when approaching Her and pray and do actions for others good and not be self seeking.
She would love to stay in hearts and places of such devotees who would be very hard to find and very few. If you try maybe you can be the fortunate one as She entering your lives through many of the routes available to Her will turn your life completely for the good and help you attain Moksha. Getting out the cycle of births and deaths. Which should be the ultimate aim of any human being.
One can go on and on writing in praise of her and giving all her details which would take more than one life time. So start reading and doing dhyanam about Goddess Lakshmi as She has the power to rid India and the world of all its miseries and difficulties. This has to be a collect effort by every human who thinks for Loka Kalyanam or the benefit of the whole world as the whole brahmand or universe is one and the whole humanity is one big family that is also called in sanskrit as Vasudaiva Kutumbakam.
