Lakshmi

Sally Kempton writes about the Goddess Lakshmi in her new book Awakening Shakti. She speaks of the danger of being enraptured of material wealth. Mahalakshmi is called yogamaya in the text Mahalakshmyastakam Stotram. It's important to find the subtle source of wealth. Sally speaks of Lakshmi's shadow energy when we see greed and people making money their God and so forth.

It's a good book. I would go out and buy it but Barnes and Noble doesn't have it in stock. There are 2 copies in the Alachua County Library system. One at the main library and one out in Micanopy. Funny, I was just driving out there the other day. I do that sometimes, I just drive.
