MAHALAKSHMI

Mahalakshmi, is the lotus-like goddess born from a milky ocean. She is the essence of purity. She is Shri,the auspicious one. Goddess of wealth and affluence of every description.

In today's material world she is the one most sought after and venerated for her blessings as she can shower you with wealth. She is Santana Lakshmi who fulfills the desire for progeny, Dhanalakshmi, the bestower of monetary wealth
Vidya Lakshmi, her gift is knowledge.. She has many forms ,as many as the desire a human heart can hold  and more .

Unlike her sister Goddess, Durga the fierce,righteous one, Mahalakshmi is gentle,the epitome of patience.When her children/devotees blinded by materialism turn towards her for help she blesses them with wealth, waiting all the while for them to realize that her true gift is far more precious.
When finally the child matures into an ardent spiritual practitioner,they seek from her a wealth that is not transient. She then bestows the wealth of wisdom. Inner joy, peace, good health, self realization... these are true riches indeed. Growth in the spiritual path is the only possession we carry from one life into the other, this is the wealth that is contained within the soul , not co-dependent on the transient body for its enjoyment. 

Mahalakshmi, took the first seed of desire and creation ensued, she is maya, the veil of illusion and hides her real form behind it. She too is the granter of wisdom, the discriminatory sight which then removes the veil of illusion and shows her true form again .
To realize her is to rejoice in the wonders of life.
