Goddess Lakshmi origins are added to the large Sri Suktam (Hymn to Sri ") that the Rig-Veda was eventually 1000-500 BC found
The birth of goddess Lakshmi is an old story connected. Durvasa the short-tempered sage once presented Indra, the king of the gods, with a garland of flowers that would never fade. Indra gave this garland to his elephant, Airavata. Sage Durvasa saw the elephant trampling the divine garland and tempered, as he was, cursed Indra, because he showed disrespect to the sage had. The sage cursed Indra that he and all the gods would lose their power because they had made them so proud and vain. Because of the curse, the demons defeated the gods from the sky.
The defeated gods then went to escape to the Creator Brahma, who asked to obtain the ocean of milk jug to the nectar of immortality. The gods went to Lord Vishnu to seek his support. Vishnu took the Avatar Kurma (Tortoise) and supported the mountain as a churning rod Mandarachal, while the king of serpents, Vasuki became the churning rope. The gods and demons (under the leadership of the pious and wise King Mahabali) both helped each other in churning the ocean of milk.
Among the many divine gifts which appeared from the ocean, goddess Lakshmi appeared and then chose Shri Vishnu as her husband because he alone had the power to control Maya (illusion). For this reason, as Lakshmi, the daughter of the sea, the moon also appeared from the ocean during the churning, the moon is called her brother.
Goddess Lakshmi is incorrectly connected only with money, and the popular public perception is that she is the goddess of money. But this is wrong: the holy goddess is also the goddess of prosperity, divinity and purity. She is also the goddess of Brahma-vidya (divine knowledge) and one of its names is "Vidya" - which literally means knowledge. She is the goddess from whom we ask for happiness in the family, friends, marriage, children, food and wealth, beauty and health. Therefore, it is a very popular goddess who is worshiped by every Hindu. When she the goddess of prosperity, it is also known as Dharidranashini (destroyer of poverty) and Dharidradvamshini (someone who is against poverty).
