527. The Dance of Goddess Maha Lakshmi in Abundance……..!!!!!

A country has a better economy only if there is enough money that is circulating in the market than that is lashed in the banks as deposits. If we do not spend what we earn and put them in the bank then economy is not well. Even the Economic Institutions would like to have more creditors just as they are not satisfied with only depositors. That is how wealth should be viewed at.

Swami Vivekananda had said if a room has ventilation and a window that room will always have enough fresh air. So is it same with the economy of the country as much as we earn we need to spend according to our budget. This will help the earning potential of each individual and help improve all in finance. Inevitably about half of the earning of an individual will go for the routine expenses such as groceries, rent, tax, fee, electricity bills and water bills. And a little of the remaining is kept for future in the name of investment for rainy days, and remaining small portion of the earning is spent on entertainment. When there is a crunch it is this portion of entertainment which is getting the beating for a middle class person.

This month is Shravana and there is a continuous festive season from here starting with “Varamahalashmi Vrata” where Goddess Lakshmi is adored. I feel this festivals, melas and fairs were an arrangement made by our ancients to see that economy is in constant flow. Just as water which is stagnant stinks wealth has to be in continuous flow for the well-being of the society. Economy of a place will flourish only if money is earned and spent. Goddess Lakshmi is called Chanchala for this same reason, She is always in the move and She looks beautiful only if She is in circulation with Her gracious dance moves. When She is in circulation She is with you, me and with all. She is happy to be with anyone She does not discriminate at all. She will never differentiates between a lawful or an unlawful. But it is not right to blame Her for She is just like the food that will satisfy the hunger of the rich as well as poor. She is like the tree which gives shade to a criminal as well as a righteous person. She is like a fire which gives warmth in a cold rainy morning to a healthy person as well as an ailing person. Having said that She enjoys the company of a person who is shedding sweat to get Her.     

She is not only worshipped for Wealth (Aishwarya) and also for Status or Position (Yashas). This status is not that a person earns but it is something which a person is showered with. If a person is the minister, the people in reality bow to the position not to the person. Because if it was for the person then even after his tenure he should have got the same respect, only his sycophants will continue not all. This wealth is also the same as position so it is better not to go behind them instead work efficiently and let it come running behind us.

A person who is on the path of spirituality understands this and accepts Goddess Lakshmi as mother who stays with her kid and does not try to tempt her to get her blessings. Varamahalakshmi Vrata is the festival which needs to be celebrated with all the purchases to make the economy flow not in the intention of allure our mother. Why should a kid entice the mother??? 

Lets us just get tuned to her frequency.....and experience the abundance in Her!!!!!
