The Goddess of wealth and prosperity!

Goddess Lakshmi is the consort or wife of Lord Vishnu and is the Goddess of prosperity, purity, chastity and generosity. The word 'Lakshmi' is derived from the Sanskrit word "Lakshya", meaning 'aim' or 'goal', and she is the goddess of wealth and prosperity, both material and spiritual.

Lakshmi is the household goddess of most Hindu families, and a favorite of women. Goddess Lakshmi is depicted with four hands that represent four spiritual virtues. She sits on a fully blossomed lotus, a seat of divine truth. Her personal charm is considered par excellence. An aura of divine happiness, mental and spiritual satisfaction, and prosperity always exists around her. Her palm is always extended to bless people. She is adored by Lord Ganesha.

A Mother Goddess:

Worship of the mother goddess has been a part of Indian tradition since its earliest times. Lakshmi is one of the mother Goddesses and is addressed as "Matha" (mother) instead of just "Devi" (goddess).

As a female counterpart of Lord Vishnu, Mata Lakshmi is also called 'Shri', the female energy of the Supreme Being. She is the goddess of prosperity, wealth, purity, generosity, and the embodiment of beauty, grace and charm.

A Domestic Deity:

The importance attached to the presence of Lakshmi in every household makes her an essentially domestic deity. Householders worship Lakshmi for the well being and prosperity of the family. Businessmen and women also regard her equally and offer her daily prayers. On the full moon night following Dussehra or Durga Pooja, Hindus worship Lakshmi ceremonially at home, pray for her blessings, and invite neighbors to attend the pooja. It is believed that on this full moon night the goddess herself visits the homes and replenishes the inhabitants with wealth. A special worship is also offered to Lakshmi on the auspicious Diwali night.

Secret Goddess To Protect Your Money

You worry about the worsening economic state of the world and how it could hurt you and your loved ones. Investment and financial misfortunes are occurring in places that used to be safe havens for our money and other assets. Only a divine solution can change the current course. As the unfortunate economics of the world ripple into our households, you may need divine intervention too.

There is help from a secret Goddess who has been hidden from us. Her name is Jyeshta Devi. Jyeshta Devi is the older sister of Lakshmi and she keeps misfortune away. According to Vedic mythology, the Lord of Kali Yuga (our current age) hid Jyeshta Devi from people so that they undergo various lessons and obtain salvation in due course. But this is changing, and out of compassion, he is revealing her so we can renew our worship of the Goddess and re-discover the prosperity which was available to all during the previous Yugas. Even during the previous Yuga referred to as ' Dwapara Yuga', people worshipped this Goddess to tide over severe famines and to live with abundant prosperity and happiness.

Jyeshta Devi Origin:

Legend has it that the mythological milky ocean was churned by the devas and demons. They were in search of the divine nectar which will give them immortality. The radiant and beautiful symbol of prosperity, Lakshmi, sprung out of this milky ocean. It is said that Jyeshta Devi came out even before Lakshmi and hence is considered the older sister of Lakshmi.

What will happen if you worship Jyeshta Devi?

You will avoid losses in business and receive money, if you worship Jyeshta Devi. She is one Goddess capable of providing great wealth which could be enjoyed. This is possible as she drives out the misfortune that strikes individuals and organizations on a daily basis. Offer your prayers to the virtually unknown yet very powerful Jyeshta Devi and protect yourself and your family from "64" types of misfortunes.

Ways to worship Jyeshta Devi

A very ancient temple in Kancipuram by name Brahmapureeswarar temple is known for Jyeshta Devi worship. There is a very large Ganesha by the name 'Motta Ganesha' in this temple. It is said that Jyeshta Devi is very fond of Ganeshas and literally offers her worship every day to this Ganesha. Siddhas have also specified specific days when the worship bears fruit. These special days are called "Tri-Thina-Spuruk" in Vedic terms and refers to days when three stars or nakshatras are seen in a day. This is very rare but is considered very auspicious for Jyeshta devi worship. Apart from these special days Sundays are also considered important for Jyesta Devi worship. According to Siddhas, these are precisely days when you can worship Jyeshta devi and drive out your misfortunes.

The Original Ganesha With a "Human Head"

Worshipping the human head Ganesha in Chidambaram and in Sitalaipattu would bring immense benefits to remove misfortunes from your life. The Ganesha at these energy vortexes is seen with a human head, prior to Lord Siva's decapitation. Dattatriya Sivababa says that as we progress from Kali Yuga to Satya Yuga, these deities will gain prominence and rule Satya Yuga. So worship Jyeshta Devi and her favorite Ganeshas and offer abishekams. This will drive out misfortunes from your life.

Make Muruga Your Guardian Angel

Muruga is the God of Pleiades. Pleiades is a group of six or more constellation of stars. The Pleiadeans have long a standing contact with planet earth. They are fond of human beings and the Earth plane. They are interested in helping the Earth get more light.

Their goal for human beings is to change the genetic structure of the human bodily cells so that the humans can eventually acquire a light body. The Pleiadeans constantly fight with negative beings from other planets who have been basically responsible for ruining our genetic structure. Lord Murugan as a Pleiadean God is going to play an active role in the evolution of planet Earth and the human race. He is identified by the star Alceone (Krithika). It is believed that during 2012 December, the Sun, planet Earth and Krithika are about to align themselves to transform the earth.

Yogis of India knew the role of Muruga in bringing the Golden Age down from heaven. They devised many methods to understand and worship Muruga. Muruga's energy or Pleiadean energy is going to be available to the Earth plane during the six days called Skanda Shasti which is celebrated between Oct 29 and Nov 3.

Dattatriya Siva Baba has revealed many secrets about Muruga through the YouTube video clips and newsletters (http://www.youtube.com/Dattatreyasivababa). Baba has an exclusive YouTube channel called 'Muruga' under the title 'Murugan Vazhipadu'. During Skanda Shasti, the planet moon traverses the signs of Venus, Mars and Jupiter. It also touches the planets Sun, Mars, Venus and Jupiter. All these planets exert powerful influences on your daily life. This is a rare occurrence as the moon enhances the power of these planets manifold.

This is a time to gain Muruga's grace to eliminate debts, overcome enemies, enhance your beauty and improve your finances and health. This is also a time to battle against negativity. Astroved will be offering prayers to Muruga in his six battle houses as part of the Skanda Shasti celebrations. So don't miss this chance to add more light to your life with Muruga's grace.

Muruga uses his Vel to eliminate negative forces. The 'Vel' is an indispensable tool to burn karma and it is important to worship the holy 'Vel'.

Baba also advocates performing 'Runa Vimochana Puja' which basically eliminates debts. This will be performed on all six days of Skanda Shasti. In these trying times, this is a special opportunity to make use of and benefit immensely.

The Kukuta (Rooster) homa is a very powerful fire ritual done to invoke one of Lord Muruga's powerful vehicles, the Rooster (Muruga’s other vehicle is the Peacock, and his weapon is the Vel). Muruga's divine rooster has the ability to destroy negativity and ward off evil and also to help in litigation. It is a less commonly known and rarely performed homa in India, but extremely powerful in nature. This ritual is only performed by a few select Brahmin priests to ensure the authenticity and correctness of the ritual’s performance.

On the final night of Skanda Shasthi, Nov 3rd, silver OM pendants will be energized at the Swami Mallai Temple near Kumbakonam, India. It is at this temple that Lord Shiva himself, suffering from a curse to forget the secrets of the Maha-mantra OM, relearned the mysteries from his young son Muruga. Wearing this energized Om pendant will invoke Lord Muruga's Blessings for your own spiritual practice.
