Mythological significance and origination of Goddess Lakshmi
Goddess Lakshmi is the goddess of fortune, wealth, and prosperity. She not only blesses us with worldly wealth but spiritual and intellectual too. As per hindu mythology, she is Maa Durga’s daughter and Lord Vishnu’s wife.
Mythology states various other names for Goddess Lakshmi: Shri, Gauri, Sita, Padma, Saraswati, Kamakshi and much more. Moreover, it is believed that Goddess Lakshmi took various Avatars to be with his husband, Lord Vishnu. So, as per the texts of Vishnu Purana, you will find that there are 10 Avatars of Goddess Lakshmi along with every new reincarnation of Lord Vishnu.
Story of the origination of Goddess Laxmi
As per hindu mythology, every God has a special significance and story of birth/ origin. According to the famous texts of Vishnu Purana, the story starts when Guru Durvasa offers a garland (a blessing from the Goddess of wealth) to Lord Indra. But Lord Indra, arrogant because of his power and position, puts the garland on his elephant, Airavat’s forehead.
But the elephant, out of irritation, shakes the garland off his head and throws the garland on the earth. This makes Guru Durvasa extremely angry as he feels disrespected. He curses Lord Indra to lose everything he is being so arrogant about. After a few days, Lord Indra starts to see the results of that curse. Every God in his kingdom, Amravati, began to lose their powers and became helpless. Now, the demons start to torture Gods and create chaos in Amravati.
After losing many times, Gods finally go to Lord Vishnu for help. They asked him to do something to make all the Gods immortal, and they could win a definite victory over the demons. This ultimate fight between the Gods and Demons lead to the churning of the ocean, Samudra Manthan. Out of which Amrit came out, a drink of immortality. Moreover, out of the ocean’s waves came a beautiful female figure sitting on a blue lotus; she was none other than “Goddess Lakshmi”. She had a divine charm to herself, and her face was filled with grace.

Story of Origination of Lord Ganesha
Most of us might already be familiar with the story of the origin of Lord Ganesha. So, the story goes like this, Goddess Parvati thought of making a small boy out of Sandalwood dough and infused life into him. Then she instructed him not to let anyone enter the premises while she went for bathing.
After a while, when Lord Shiva returned, the boy asked him to wait until his mother finished bathing herself. This made Shiva extremely angry, and cut the boy’s head. After entering the house, he still was in very much rage. When Parvati returned, she noticed blood along with the body and head of her little boy.
She started crying and told everything to her husband. Also, she pleaded with him to fix up his head anyhow. Lord Shiva couldn’t see his wife in pain and sorrow. So, he asked his helpers to find a head facing north. His helpers could only find an elephant’s head. And finally, he fixed the elephant’s head on the boy’s torso and blessed him with various powers.
Why are Laxmi and Ganesh worshipped together?
According to the scriptures, Once, Goddess Lakshmi was conversing with her husband, Lord Vishnu. She praised herself as one of the most important deities, offering wealth and prosperity to everyone who worshipped her. She kept going on and on. However, Lord Vishnu told her that no matter how powerful a woman gets, she is incomplete without a child.
Since Goddess Lakshmi had no children, she became very disheartened after hearing this from her husband. She went to Mata Parvati with her heavy heart since she had two sons, Ganesha and Kartikeya. Laxmi Ji asked her to give one of her sons so she could be a mother and rejoice in motherhood. Seeing Goddess Lakshmi in such deep pain, Goddess Parvati decided to give Lord Ganesha, her elder son, to her.
And in return, Goddess Lakshmi promised to give all her accomplishments to her son, Lord Ganesha. She also said that from now before worshipping Goddess Lakshmi, Lord Ganesha will be worshipped. Both of them will be worshipped together.
