GODDESS LAKSHMI

Lakshmi (Sanskrit: लक्ष्मी,lakṣmī, Hindi pronunciation: [ˈləkʂ.miː])Tamil:லட்சுமி (letchumi)) is the Hindu goddess of wealth, prosperity  (both material and spiritual), light, wisdom, fortune, fertility, generosity  and courage; and the embodiment of beauty, grace  and charm. Representations of Lakshmi are also found in Jain monuments. Mahalakshmi brings good luck to her devotees. She is believed to protect her devotees from all kinds of misery and money-related sorrows.

Lakshmi in Sanskrit is derived from its elemental form lakS, meaning "to perceive or observe".[1] This is synonymous with lakṣya, meaning "aim" or "objective". The Hindu Sacred Texts Vedas call Mahalakshmi as Lakshyayidhi Lakshmihi which means she is the one who has the object and aim of uplifting mankind.

Goddess Mahalakshmi is called as Shri or Thirumagal(திருமகள்) because she is endowed with six auspicious and divine qualities or Gunas and also because she is the source of strength even to Lord Narayana. She is the consort of Vishnu[2] and married Rama (in her incarnation as Sita) and Krishna (as Radha[3][4][5] and later Rukmini).
