Accept Lakshmi only as a daughter or mother.

Hyderabad: If Lakshmi settles anywhere, that place belongs to Narayana. Therefore, accept Lakshmi in two forms: first as a daughter, second as a mother. If you keep her as a mother, you will respect her; if you keep her as a daughter, you must marry her to Narayana.

These sentiments were expressed while explaining the significance of the seventh day of the Shrimad Bhagavat Katha organized by Om Shiva Temple Gaushala and Shiva Temple Gaushala at Palmakul during the Purushottam month. It was said that the Katha never ends, it only takes a rest. There is a rest day in the Katha. Upon receiving the Lord’s grace, devotees like Samal Seth and Narsi Mehta are created. It was said that Baldev was married to Revati, and Thakurji was married to Rukmini. Rukmini Maharani is Lakshmi incarnate, an avatar of Mother Lakshmi.

Rukmini was to be married to Shishupal, but on Rukmini’s request, Shri Krishna abducted her and married her. This is what happens when someone tries to snatch Lakshmi from Narayana, because Lakshmi always belongs to Narayana, serving at his feet.

Mention of attaining stable happiness from Garuda-Vahini Lakshmi

It was said that Lakshmiji belongs to Lord Narayana, so she should always be worshipped along with Narayana. If you call Lakshmiji alone, she comes as Ulukavahini Lakshmi and stays only for a few days before leaving, without settling. Mahalakshmi only serves Narayana and cannot remain without him. If you call her with Narayana, Garuda-Vahini Lakshmi will come. There will be no worry, and she will stay with devotees without anxiety.

Since Lakshmiji took birth in the Braj region, its glory has increased. She who never settles anywhere and is always moving, upon coming to Braj, became immovable and will not go anywhere from here. If Lakshmi settles anywhere, that place belongs to Narayana. After recounting the stories of Sudama and the message of Uddhava, the Katha concluded, expressing gratitude to all collaborators.
