Lakshmi Rising 24 x 30 Gallery Canvas

This painting shares an ancient story about the Goddess Lakshmi, the Goddess of Prosperity. The Goddess gave the Sage Durvasa a garland of flowers. When he encountered the God Indra riding his royal elephant he bestowed this treasured gift to Indra who casually tossed it over the neck of the elephant, thinking he had no need for something so “invaluable.” When Durvasa witnessed the disrespect he cursed Indra, banishing all beauty and abundance. With this curse, the Goddess Lakshmi retreated into the Cosmic Ocean, leaving humanity a land that was barren, spirits that were bitter and a wild void of all beauty. It took a legion of gods beseeching the Goddess to return for centuries, for her to finally return, rising from the “Milky Ocean” of the Cosmos to restore humanity to prosperity. She made Indra promise that he and the Gods would never forget or disrespect the Goddess again. This story feels eerily relevant to these times. This painting is intended to remind you and radiate the frequency of gratitude for ALL the ways abundance & prosperity are present in your life so that you magnetize more and more to you!
