Lakshmi
published on Mar 17, 09
pencil on paper Lakshmi is the Hindu goddess of wealth, prosperity, light, wisdom, fortune, fertility, generosity and courage; and the embodiment of beauty, grace and charm. She is believed to protect her devotees from all kinds of misery and money-related sorrows. Representations of Lakshmi (or Shri) are found also in Jain monuments. Lakshmi in Sanskrit is derived from its elemental form lakS, meaning \"to perceive or observe\".This is synonymous with lakṣya, meaning \"aim\" or \"objective\". Lakshmi is thus goddess of the means to achieving objectives, including prosperity in the lives of humankind. She is the consort of Vishnu[2] and married Rama (in her incarnation as Sita) and Krishna (as Radha and later Rukmini).
