Alakshmi - The Jealous Sister of Goddess Lakshmi

Описание: Alakshmi - The Jealous Sister of Goddess Lakshmi

While everyone knows of Lakshmi, the Goddess of Wealth and Fortune, very few people have heard about Alakshmi. Alakshmi is not mentioned by name in the Vedic, Upanishadic or early Puranic literature, but all aspects of Alakshmi match those of the Rig Vedic goddess Nirṛti. She is also said to be the shadow of Lakshmi. She is also considered to be the elder sister of Lakshmi and represents everything that is opposite of Lakshmi, and hence is associated with poverty and misfortune.

In Padma Purana, the cosmology includes her where the Samudra Manthana creates both good and bad of everything that emerges. That which is inauspicious and bad emerges first, more effort creates the auspicious and good, according to Padma Purana. First Alakshmi emerges, then Lakshmi appears during the Samudra Manthana. Gods send Alakshmi to go dwell amongst harmful persons, give them poverty and grief. She as the asura of inauspiciousness and grief is the opposite of Lakshmi who is the goddess of auspiciousness and joy. Alakshmi is sometimes referred to as Jyestha. Alakshmi is also known as Kalahapriya and Daridara, and the shadow opposite of Lakshmi. It was said that when she entered a household, Alakshmi brought jealousy and malice in her trail. Brothers fell out with each other, families and their male lineages (kula) faced ruin and destruction.
