Why the Goddess Sri Lakshmidevi sits in the Lotus and have the Elephants with both sides. ?


Without Air there is no space on this Earth. Without Air no man and no creature can live even a second. Air surrounds everywhere and in all directions. Where there is water there will certainly be motion with some waves. Because of the air pressure it happens..

The Lotus which arises in the Lake and revels on the water due to the Air. The Lotus moves for the water flow. This symbolizes, no stability like a Lotus, the Goddess Sri Lakshmi does not have the permanent place. The wealth moves from man to man. Hence Sri Lakshmi prefers to sit in the Lotus.

The meaning for the two Elephants staying in both sides ... if a man does have the money or wealth with him, he feels as if he possess such a mighiness of great Elephants. Therefore the real symbolizm is like a Lotus the Goddess Sri Lakshmi does not stay permanently at one place. And also if money is with us we will have a great strength like Elephants.
