She is associated with grace, beauty, wealth and prosperity. The symbols associated with her and the rituals and practices followed during her invocation all imply that she stands for the highest stage of perfection and development that a human can reach. However, wealth is not the only possession of Lakshmi. There are certain poignant symbols that Lakshmi possesses that represent the goal of perfection in human life. These are as follows:. Health, wealth, virtue and happiness are all included and there is nothing left to be achieved.
It is symbolic of a hundred percent purity and detachment on her stage. The hundred petal opened lotus which she holds in her hand is symbolic of full development while the ones floating on the ocean of milk represent purity, peace and prosperity. Sometimes four elephants are shown pouring water on her. In Indian tradition, this is symbolic of the four directions.
Elephants themselves signify wisdom and faithfulness to the master. Thus four elephants constantly pouring water, from the golden vessels, on Lakshmi, represent the faithfulness of all her subjects living in the east, west, north and south. It means that she had her sovereignty on the whole world. Her open right arm in the form of blessings shows the pose of assurance and safety to her devotees. Spiritual significance of Diwali.
