Wealth

I just redid the transliteration for the eight kinds of wealth. I didn't want to make it unfriendly for those not unicode friendly in the first place, but saw umlauts for macrons and thought I'd just revamp the list to IAST standards. If you disagree with this, simply revert. I thought her epithets (the पद्मप्रिय, etc) might also be rendered in Devanagari w/ proper transliteration. And is the श्री|śrī commentary necessary here? Other miscellaneous elements could be cleaned up and standardized perhaps. I know that there are a whole lot of people here whose knowledge of Hinduism far surpasses mine though, so I'll leave that to them ;-) Khiradtalk 23:52, 16 November 2005 (UTC)

Epithets

There is absolutely no reason why Lakshmi's epithets shouldn't be on this page. All other goddess articles have their epithets and other names listed on their actual article page. Lakshmi's page isn't very big anyway, and removing it just makes it even smaller. Editing the category, deleting it or relocating it is not acceptable Wikipedia conduct, as others have also tried to put it back after you have removed it. Please rethink your actions. 80.43.96.64 17:20, 20 December 2006 (UTC)

I agree with you in that right now the list of names is small. However, later on if other people add more names (I think there are 108 names like for many Hindu deities) it will become too big. I was just pre-empting the big list of names in the future. Do you want to wait until other people add more names and then relocate it when it takes too much space. Also if you see most other pages, they have their list of names closer to the bottom. I don't think a list looks good in the middle of the article. GizzaChat © 21:16, 20 December 2006 (UTC)
I already added another three names, Sridevi, Bhumi Devi and Chanchala. I am fine with keeping it here at the moment but I know Lakshmiji has many more names so eventually it will have to be moved. On a lot of Wikipedia pages, there is only a link on the main page because the list is too big. GizzaChat © 21:33, 20 December 2006 (UTC)

Well, I think for now the list should be kept on the main page as it isn't too big, but if you think it would be better moved a little further down the page to suit the other gods articles I think that's ok (as long as it is the same as the other gods articles). Perhaps you can keep an eye out and if the list does become too big you should do something about it then. But it is important for the list of any god's epithets to be easily found in an article. 80.43.37.9 17:10, 21 December 2006 (UTC)

The Coconut and Shell/Conch are bothers of Laxmi

Can someone add this. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 89.243.125.126 (talk) 14:35, 26 April 2007 (UTC).

You can add it yourself if you have a verifiable source. (Ghostexorcist 19:55, 26 April 2007 (UTC))

Stop messing with the intro...

Okay I am sick and tired of someone adding the astrological information to the opening, and omitting the comparisons to the Greco-Roman goddesses. That's why this article got tagged: the astro info is wholly irrelevant and sounds unencyclopedic, and doesn't really even apply to the discussion of the goddess. Can a moderator please prevent these changes from being made again? Ikshveku 09:38, 7 November 2007 (UTC)

Actress

There is an actress named Laxmi; the article of that name redirects here. Unfortunately, there has been a lot of very lazy linking (see what links to Laxmi). Anyone want to take on the clean-up? — crism (talk) 20:17, 13 August 2008 (UTC)

Misinterpretation

Atharva veda:7.46 doesn't say that Lakshmī is the consort of Vishnu. It says that Sinīvālī is the consort of Vishnu. Further , Lakshmī is not mentioned in vedas

Hence, 7.46.3 is mistranslated hopelessly. I am replacing the reference.....--Powerprowess (talk) 08:29, 19 January 2009 (UTC)

Radha was never a wife of Krishna

Radha was never married to Krishna. In fact she was married to someone else like all the other Gopikas. Krishna was a boy when he was in Brindavan. Radha and all the Gopikas were much older than him. Rukmani and Sathyabhama are the well known wives of Krishna. This is what is written in Srimad Bagavatha. Sankarrukku (talk) 15:53, 19 October 2010 (UTC)

Radha is wife of Krishna and this is not only mentioned in authentic scriptures but is believed in Northern India (specially Bihar and UP) from where she belongs to. In Bandhiravan they married with every riturals in front of every Good and Goddess. She is Krishna eternal consort Lakshmi and even this fact is present in every authentic scriptures that mentions her. But still don't know why some people are always trying to hide these facts. And this is never mentioned in any authentic scriptures that she is the wife of someone else. So please I do request that don't hurt others sentiment and don't mislead the rest. Maiou (talk) 08:41, 4 January 2021 (UTC)

Who said you. First you read all purana books not only one. Some purna mentioned that radha is Mahalakshmi herself. Then comment like this OK. Radha is Avatar of Mahalakshmi. She is Sri Bhu Nila. Also Sita Vedavati Astalakshmi. When narada went to see radha he see Mahalakshmi swaroop. She is born in lotus. It is also said that when hanuman went to vrindavan he so sita swaroop in radha. Radha is the first wife of Krishna. They married secretly with the presence of Lord Brahma. Rukmini is Sridevi Satyabhama is Bhudevi Nappinnai or Nagnajiti is Niladevi Sri Bhu Nila are form of Mahalakshmi. Sita and Radha is Mahalakshmi. Rukmini Satyabhama Nagnaniti is partial incarnation of Mahalakshmi. Sri Bhu Nila is partial incarnation of Mahalakshmi. Sita and Radha are poorna avatar of Mahalakshmi.

Etymology

The meaning of Lakshmi does not mean only a "mark, sign" but has root with "LAKS" लक्ष्, which means: Look in English(Lukati in Slavic) with appendix "IM" मी, which could be "movement, understanding, creating comething"...

"mlk" (Lakshmlk) could mean many things (in context); for example म्लुच् (mluc (mluk); "to go") or malika (a king), melaka (assembly),...

Semi-protected edit request on 23 October 2020 (2)

Introductory Passage typo: Yogini is missing the last i. The word is linked to the appropriate Yogini page, but the hyperlinked word is misspelled. The typo is in the second sentence of the second-last paragraph of the introductory opening. The full sentence (italics added): "She typically stands or sits like a yogin on a lotus pedestal, while holding a lotus in her hand, symbolizing fortune, self-knowledge, and spiritual liberation." The sentence has two reference citations, numbers 22 & 25. Yogin is a masculine & neuter gender Sanskrit noun which is inappropriate to use for a decidedly feminine entity, & would also properly be written as Yogi in the nominative case regardless of whether it is in the masculine or neuter sense. 49.36.29.222 (talk) 15:09, 23 October 2020 (UTC)

Lead

The entire lead looks like a user's personal POV rather than a neutral veiw. There are multiple problems with the lead of this article:

  • Akshara is not a widely used epithet of Lakshmi and shouldn't be used in the lead. Almost all references in this article, states the goddess as Lakshmi or Shree. Eg. Coulter, Charles Russell; Turner, Patricia (4 July 2013). Encyclopedia of Ancient Deities. ISBN 9781135963903., "Britannica"., David Kinsley (19 July 1988). Hindu Goddesses: Visions of the Divine Feminine in the Hindu Religious Tradition. University of California Press. ISBN 978-0-520-90883-3..
  • The references provided to support Lakshmi as "the" mother goddess are not sufficient (out of the three, only one is direct to its point). The first reference mention that Lakshmi is called "mata" but there are direct statements supporting that is "THE" mother goddess. The second reference only states that any goddess of Hinduism is can be worshipped as a mother. The third reference is acceptable but it clearly states that she is worshipped by the Sri sect of Southern India Vaishnavism.

    This Lakshmi or Shri as the mother goddess played a very important part in some of the Vaishnavism sects of India, particularly in the Vaishnavism of the South. The Shri sect of Vaishnavism, as the name itself will indicate, laid great stress on this mother aspect of the Vishnu-shakti. Just as in our domestic life the mother stands somewhat like an intermediary between the father and the son, so does Lakshmi stand as an intermediary between God and the Jivas (beings), making the former compassionate and merciful to the latter and the latter dutiful and devoted to the former.

    "The" Mother Goddess should be changed into only Mother Goddess
  • Avatars which are not 100% accepted should not be added to the lead (Sri Bhu Durga are only seen in Southern India not in other parts like North, West and East). The article Parvati doesn't mention any avatars in the lead. Rukmini and Sita are widely accepted, so they can be added.
  • Again, Lion as her mount should not be included in the infobox for the same reason. Lion is more associated with Veera Laxmi, who is one of the Ashtalaxmi. It is mentioned in the body of the article already. This situation is just like adding regional children (Jyoti, Manasa, Andhaka, etc.) of Shiva in the infobox.

Regards, .💠245CMR💠.•👥📜 16:46, 17 December 2020 (UTC)

@245CMR: Lakshmi's main forms Sri, Bhu and Durga: What is this South India and North India thing. Do one thing write as According to Ramanujacharya and Madhvacharya the main forms of Lakshmi are Sri, Bhu and Durga. If you have your views say Nimbarka says this or Vallabha says so and so then add it rather than removing the sentence. Please understand one thing Sri Vaishnavism and Sadh Vaishnavism are not just followed in South India they have huge presence in Maharashtra, Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan and Bihar. So, you should not use terms like South India for things like this. There are two prominent mutts of Sri Vaishnavism in Vrindavan and Rajasthan they are Jhalariya Mutt and Jankivallabh Mandir of Keshighat their followers are spread throughout UP, Rajasthan, Gujarat and Maharashtra. Likewise The main priests of Gaya - the Gayawal Brahmin community are followers of Uttaradi Math of Sadh Vaishnavism tradition. Uttaradi Math followers are not only spread throughout South India, the math also have huge presence in Maharashtra and Madhya Pradesh. The Kashi Math and Gokarna Math of Varanasi and Goa also have huge following in their respective states. So, please add which acharya's views you wanted to add rather removing the content. Thank You. - MRRaja001 (talk) 07:19, 19 December 2020 (UTC)

I am not saying to remove this from the article but from the lead as it is clearly mentioned that she has "multiple aspects". But lion should be removed from the infobox as this is just like mentioning Adishesha, peacock, lion, etc. as Ganesha's mount (these are regional). .💠245CMR💠.•👥📜 13:02, 19 December 2020 (UTC)

My take on the various issues:
  • Mother goddess should be included in infobox and lead. I have changed the wording a little to be in sync with the references.
  • Avatars like Sita and Rukmini need to be included in lead. Avatars are a significant part of Vaishnava ideology.
  • Checked Isaeva 1993: "Lakshmi's main forms Sri, Bhu and Durga" is categorically said to be Madhava's thoughts only, Not Vaishnavism as a whole. Significant to be included in the article, but not lead if limited to Madhavacharya. Can more references about the same be provided to prove it a mainstream view? I will reference on this further, before commenting more.
  • Lion: I haven't checked the references yet. However, as per my knowledge, Lion like the tortoise are rare vahanas of Lakshmi. Generally, the owl and elephant are depicted as vahanas. Should be mentioned in iconography, but can be removed from infobox. However, I will reference on this further to comment later. Redtigerxyz Talk 13:38, 19 December 2020 (UTC)

I am gone with multiple general religious encyclopedias like "Handbook of Hindu mythology" by Williams, Britannica, "encyclopedia of Hinduism" - Jones & Ryan, "The Illustrated Encyclopedia of Hinduism" by Lochtefeld; none of the same mention the same. Both references by Tracy Pintchman categorially say as it is as per Garuda Purana. Only main manifestations should be in the lead. "Sri, Bhu and Durga" should in "Manifestations and aspects". Same principle applies to the "lion". --Redtigerxyz Talk 16:41, 19 December 2020 (UTC)

According to me, Sri, Bhu, Durga should be removed from the lead. Same with the Lion in the infobox. .💠245CMR💠.•👥📜 06:51, 20 December 2020 (UTC)
User:MRRaja001, User:245CMR, I am of the opinion "Sri, Bhu, Durga" in aspects as a signifant POV. Lion references I have not checked, prima facie as per my knowledge, not mainstream view. About Swaminarayan Sampradaya, I disagree. Their thoughts differ from Sri Vaishnavas and I haven't read about it in their literature. I have worked on Swaminarayan Sampradaya and Swaminarayan articles in the past and haven't encountered these views. However, I may be wrong too. Redtigerxyz Talk 16:36, 21 December 2020 (UTC)

Revert Recent Edit to Lead

The previous lead was "Lakshmi is both the wife and divine energy (shakti) of the Hindu god Vishnu, the Supreme Being of Vaishnavism; she is also the Supreme Goddess in the sect and assists Vishnu to create, protect and transform the universe."

Someone edited it to say "Lakshmi is both the wife and divine energy (shakti) of the Hindu god Vishnu, She, the Mother of the Universe, is the eternal companion of Vishnu. Just as He is omnipresent, so is She. she is also the Supreme Goddess and assists Vishnu to create, protect and transform the universe."

The addition has led to some horrible looking grammar in that sentence. It also introduces irregular capitalization and someone's obvious religious opinion into the lead. I would revert it but the page is semi-protected. Alexander-Of-The-Monday (talk) 19:22, 3 September 2021 (UTC)

In maharashtar during the Ganesh festival , mahalaxmi arrives , as Gauri. She is accompanied by her husband Shankroba.. (Shankar =Shiva) 3. Amba Mata.. is also called as Mahalaxmi in many temples. Most prominent is Kolhapur temple ambabai..mahalaxmi. 4. Saraswati and Laxmi , kali are the results or achievments... not the powers...

Incarnation (Query)

Do we require separate refs for the combined list of the incarnations when almost all the wikipages mentioned in the list have the refs attached (on their respective pages) which supports the claim of them being the incarnation of Lakshmi.
