Lakshmi on Uluka the Owl

thingiverse

Lakshmi is, among other things, primarily the Hindu goddess of wealth, and her owl is a warning against distrust and isolationism, even selfishness. In a spirit world, owls have variously symbolized dread, knowledge, wisdom, announcement of deaths or various religious beliefs told as myths. Throughout many cultures, the symbolic meaning of owl deals with: intelligence, brilliance, perspective, intuition, quick-wit, independence, wisdom, protection, mystery and power. Thus the owl also served simultaneously as indicators of scarce native habits and their cultural and religious beliefs. The owl seems to be a multi-purpose symbol admitting both benevolent and malevolent interpretations. Lakshmi’s owl symbolizes patience, intelligence and wisdom. It has the ability to foretell events. Uluka becomes Lakshmi’s vahana when she blesses with wealth and prosperity. The owl asks of Lakshmi’s devotees not to be trapped by wealth and its splendour. It then becomes a symbol of universal wisdom that warns about arrogance and indiscipline. When Lakshmi’s wealth is used by humans for adharmic activities, then one is said to be blinded. Then the Uluka is but a bird of ill omen flying Goddess Alakshmi around to your door-step, representing darkness, disgrace, inauspiciousness and misfortune. It then is Alakshmi’s vahana, representing ignorance, arrogance and the coming of misfortune. " Thats why our ancestors always say use your money wisely." https://www.facebook.com/Vedism10/posts/reason-for-owl-as-vahan-of-mata-lakshmiuluka-lakshmis-vahana-the-owl-is-goddess-/506037333316154/ Mgoi Social Channels: youtube.com/c/MakingGodsofIndia patreon.com/makinggodsofindia facebook.com/MakingGodsofIndia <a href="https://www.patreon.com/bePatron?u=52346760" data-patreon-widget-type="become-patron-button">Become a Patron!</a><script async src="https://c6.patreon.com/becomePatronButton.bundle.js"></script>
