Goddess Lakshmi, also spelled as Laxmi, is the consort of Lord Vishnu and is said to have taken different forms in order to be with him in each of his incarnations. The word Lakshmi is derived from the Sanskrit word Laksya, meaning “aim” or “goal,” and in the Hindu faith, she is the goddess of wealth and prosperity of all forms, both material and spiritual.
Goddess Lakshmi is mostly regarded as the household goddess, and she is a particular favorite amongst women. According to the legends, Devi Lakshmi’s birth happened when she rose from the churning of the ocean of milk (an important event in Hinduism), seated on a lotus and holding another blossom in her hand.
Worship of a mother goddess has been a part of Hindu tradition since its earliest times. Lakshmi is one of the traditional Hindu mother goddesses, and she is often addressed as “mata” (mother) instead of just “Devi” (goddess). Householders worship Lakshmi as a symbol of providing for the well-being and prosperity of the family.
