lakshmi hindu dharm ki ek pramukh devi hain. vo Bhagwan vishnu ki patni hain aur dhan, sampada, shaanti aur samruddhi ki devi maani jaati hain. deepaavali ke tyohaar mein unki ganesh sahit pooja ki jaati hai. gaayatri ki krupa se milne vaale varadaanon mein ek lakshmi bhi hai. jis par yeh anugrah utarata hai, vah daridr, durbal, krupan, asantusht evam pichhdepan se grasit naheen rahata. svachhata evam suvyavastha ke svabhaav ko bhi 'shri' kaha gaya hai. yeh sadgun jahaaain honge, vahaaain daridrata, kurupata tik naheen sakegi.

padaarth ko manushya ke liye upayogi banaane aur usaki abheesht maatra upalabdh karne ki kshamata ko lakshmi kehte hain. yon prachalan mein to 'lakshmi' shabd sampatti ke liye prayukt hota hai, par vastut: vah chetna ka ek gun hai, jiske aadhaar par nirupayogi vastuon ko bhi upayogi banaaya ja sakta hai. maatra mein svalp hote hue bhi unka bharpoor laabh satprayojanon ke liye utha lena ek vishisht kala hai. vah jise aati hai use lakshmeevaan, shreemaan kehte hain. shesh ameer logon ko dhanavaan bhar kaha jaata hai. gaayatri ki ek kiran lakshmi bhi hai. jo ise praapt karta hai, use svalp saadhanon mein bhi athar upayog ki kala aane ke kaaran sada susampannon jaisi prasannata bani rahati hai.

dhan ka adhik maatra mein sangrah hone maatr se kisi ko saubhaagyashaali naheen kaha ja sakta. sadbuddhi ke abhaav mein vah nashe ka kaam karti hai, jo manushya ko ahankaari, uddhat, vilaasi aur durvyasani bana deta hai. saamaanyat: dhan paakar log krupan, vilaasi, apavyayi aur ahankaari ho jaate hain. lakshmi ka ek vaahan ulook maana gaya hai. ulook athaart mookharta. kusanskaari vyaktiyon ko anaavashyak sampatti moorkh hi banaati hai. unase durupayog hi ban padta hai aur uske fal svaroop vah aahat hi hota hai.

maata mahaalakshmi ke anek roop hai jis mein se unke aath svaroop jin ko ashtalakshmi kehte hai prasiddh hai

lakshmi ka Abhishek do haathi karte hain. vah kamal ke aasan par viraajamaan hai. kamal komalata ka prateek hai. lakshmi ke ek mukh, chaar haath hain. ve ek lakshya aur chaar prakrutiyon (dooradarshita, drudh sankalp, shramasheelata evam vyavastha shakti) ke prateek hain. do haathon mein kamal-saundayar aur praamaanikta ke prateek hai. daan mudra se udaarata tatha aasheervaad mudra se abhaya anugrah ka bodh hota hai. vaahan-ulook, nirbheekata evam raatri mein aaindhere mein bhi dekhne ki kshamata ka prateek hai.

komalata aur sundarata suvyavastha mein hi sannihit rahati hai. kala bhi isi satpravrutti ko kehte hain. lakshmi ka ek naam kamal bhi hai. isi ko sankshep mein kala kehte hain. vastuon ko, sampadaaon ko suniyojit reeti se saddushya ke liye sadupayog karna, use parishram evam manoyog ke saath neeti aur nyaaya ki mayaarda mein rahakar upaarjit karna bhi atharkala ke antagart aata hai. upaarjan abhivdharn mein kushal hona shri tattv ke anugrah ka poovaardh hai. uttaraardh vah hai jismein ek pai ka bhi apavyaya naheen kiya jaata. ek-ek paise ko saduddeshya ke liye hi kharch kiya jaata hai.

lakshmi ka jal-Abhishek karne vaale do gajaraajon ko parishram aur manoyog kehte hain. unka lakshmi ke saath avichhinn sambandh hai. yeh yugm jahaaain bhi rahega, vahaaain vaibhav ki, shreya-sahayog ki kami rahegi hi naheen. pratibha ke dhani par sampannata aur safalta ki varsha hoti hai aur unhein utkarsh ke avsar pag-pag par upalabdh hote hain.

gaayatri ke tattvadasharn evam saadhan kram ki ek dhaara lakshmi hai. iska shikshan yeh hai ki apne mein us kushalata ki, kshamata ki abhivruddhi ki jaaye, to kaheen bhi raho, lakshmi ke anugrah aur anudaan ki kami naheen rahegi. uske atirikt gaayatri upaasana ki ek dhaara 'shri' saadhana hai. uske vidhaan apnaane par chetna-kendra mein prasupt padi hui ve kshamataaeain jaagrut hoti hain, jinke chumbakatv se khinchata hua dhan-vaibhav upayukt maatra mein sahaj hi ekatrit hota rahata hai. ekatrit hone par buddhi ki devi sarasvati use sanchit naheen rahane deti, varan paramaathar prayojanon mein uske sadupayog ki prerana deti hai.

lakshmi prasannata ki, ullaas ki, vinod ki devi hai. vah jahaaain rahegi hainsane-hainsaane ka vaataavaran bana rahega. asvachhata bhi daridrata hai. saundarya, svachhata evam kalaatmak sajja ka hi doosra naam hai. lakshmi saundarya ki devi hai. vah jahaaain rahegi vahaaain svachhata, prasannata, suvyavastha, shramanishtha evam mitvyayita ka vaataavaran bana rahega.

gaayatri ki lakshmi dhaara ka aavavaahan karne vaale shreevaan bante hain aur usaka aanand ekaaki na lekar asankhyon ko laabhaanvit karte hain. lakshmi ke svaroop, vaahan aadi ka sankshep mein vivechan is prakaar hai-

samudra manthan se lakshmi ji nikleen. lakshmi ji ne swayam hi Bhagwan vishnu ko var liya.
