<p>Lakshmi (IAST:Lakṣmī; (lit. 'goddess who leads to one's lakshya or goal') is one of the principle goddesses in Hinduism. She is the goddess of wealth, fortune, love, beauty, Māyā, joy and prosperity.<br>Typically depicted with four arms that are symbolic of the four goals of humanity in Hinduism: dharma (pursuit of ethical, moral life), artha (pursuit of wealth, means of life), kama (pursuit of love, emotional fulfilment), and moksha (pursuit of self-knowledge, liberation). Seen here carrying a lotus in two hands, with her left hand holding a pot of gold and the right hand open in a mudra that signifies compassion &amp; charity.<br>The lotus carries symbolic meanings in Hinduism and other Indian traditions. It symbolises knowledge, self-realisation, and liberation. The lotus, a flower that blooms in clean or dirty water, also symbolises purity regardless of the good or bad circumstances in which it grows. It is a reminder that good and prosperity can bloom and not be affected by evil in one's surrounding.</p><p><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lakshmi">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lakshmi</a></p><p>Mgoi Social Channels:</p><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/c/MakingGodsofIndia">YouTube</a></p><p><a href="https://www.patreon.com/makinggodsofindia">Patreon</a></p><p><a href="https://www.facebook.com/MakingGodsofIndia">Facebook</a></p><p><a href="https://www.patreon.com/bePatron?u=52346760">Become a Patron!</a></p>
