The Story of Lord Vishnu and Goddess Lakshmi Marriage
Palanhar, which translates to "preserver, and protector," is another name for Lord Vishnu. It is believed that He was before the creation of the universe. People often wonder where Lord Vishnu came from or when he was born. According to the Vishnu Puran, Lord Vishnu was the sole being to survive even after destruction (प्रलय). To keep up the cycle of creation, destruction, and recreation, Lord Vishnu began the resurrection of the universe, from which Brahma was born.
To put an end to the journey of the many forms of existence, Lord Vishnu soon after giving birth to Brahma created Lord Shiva from his brow. He assigned Brahma and Mahesh their separate responsibilities to create a life cycle.
Shri Lakhsmi:
There are two stories famous about Mata Lakshmi's birth. In one she is born in Samudra Manthan and in the other, she is the daughter of rishi Bhrigu and Khayati. The Hindu goddess of riches, fortune, youth, and beauty is Lakshmi (or Laksmi).
She is the wife of the powerful deity Vishnu, and the two are frequently worshipped together as Lakshmi and Narayana. Lakshmi assumes various shapes, just as her husband does when he comes to Earth in his various avatars: In response to her luck-seemingly random distribution, Sita, the wife of Lord Rama, Queen Rukmini, the wife of Krishna, Padma, and Hari Lakshmi, may also be referred to as Lokamata, the "mother of the world," and Lola, which means fickle.
Mata Lakshmi and Lord Vishnu's Wedding:
Indra dev and Rishi Durvasa play an important role in Lord Vishnu ad Goddess Lakshmi's marriage. According to the ancient Hindu Vedas and Puranas, there is this famous story of Lord Vishnu and Mata Lakshmi's wedding.
A highly potent God, Indra. He ruled over the other Gods and was the king of Heaven. But all of this stayed in his head, making him haughty and disdainful of other people.
Airavatha was a four-tusked, exquisite white elephant owned by Indra. On occasion, Indra would ride Airavatha to leave the kingdom whenever he felt like it. When Indra was riding Airavatha at one point, Sage Durvasa was approaching from the opposite direction.
Durvasa Rishi was a great sage. He had tremendous yogic powers within him because he spent much of his time in meditation. He did have one flaw, though. Sage Durvasa frequently cursed at people and grew enraged very quickly.
Sage Durvasa has discovered a fragrant garland while exploring the globe. The garland's flowers were always fresh and never went out of style. When he encountered Indra approaching Airavatha, he was carrying the garland with him.
As the ruler of the gods, Indra, according to Sage Durvasa, should get the wreath. When Indra first saw Sage Durvasa, he bowed slightly but didn't salute him. Back then, it was traditional to salute and show respect to the sages for their wisdom and knowledge.
However, Sage Durvasa did not become enraged by this. Indra received the wreath from him. Carelessly taking the wreath, Indra put it on Airavatha's head. Airavatha removed the garland from his head and threw it on the ground since the fragrance was so overpowering.
Sage Durvasa became outraged when she saw how carelessly Indra had handled the garland a
Sage Durvasa curses him, saying that his kingdom will also be destroyed, just as he has flung the garland to the ground in his inordinate pride.
After Sage Durvasa leaves, Indra goes back to his capital, Amravati. After Durvasa's curse, Amravati begins to undergo changes. The gods and humans lose their vitality and vigor, all the plants and products begin to wither, men cease practicing altruism, minds are perverted, and people begin to enjoy the five senses to the utmost. Everyone's desires grow out of control.
As the Gods in Amravati grew frail, the demons attacked and overcame them. Because of this, the good and evil that exist in us are represented by the gods and demons that live inside of us.
When the Gods were vanquished, they sought Lord Vishnu for advice.
He advocated giving the Gods the Amrit, which would make them eternal, in order to restore their power through the ocean's churning. This is how the ocean's churning began. To symbolize the churning, the Gods and Demons wrestle with one another in the story.
Goddess Lakshmi emerges from this whirlwind while perched atop an expanded lotus, as portrayed in Adi Lakshmi on Lotus South The Asuras and the Devas thought Lakshmi would choose them, so Lord Vishnu went to the wedding on the day of Swayamvar and pretended to be one of the hopeful grooms.
And as soon as Lakshmi saw him, she rushed over to adorn him with the Jaymala. Mata Lakshmi decided to marry Lord Vishnu as a result. Goddess Lakshmi chooses Lord Vishnu as her husband.
