UPAVAAS. We want Lakshmi ji but dose she also want us? We can’t
bring and keep her in our house forcefully. So how to please her?how to bring her home? And how to make her stay long in our house? I
am going to write the requirement of mother Lakshmi. According to Anushasan parva of Mahabharart’’ mother Lakshmi says that I love to visit and bless only those houses and people who have these qualities

means mother Lakhsmi lives with those men who are prosperous, fearless, who have good character, obedient, anger less, devotee, obliged, controller of senses and blessed with purity and wisdom.
Who are naturally honest to their duty and responsibility and who
are involved in holy actions. Lakshmi stays with them who know and understand what to do and what not to do? And are always ready to serve elders, gurus and respected personalities. Who are full of
forgiveness, brave and have control over mind. Mother Lakshmi says that she loves to live with those women who are forgiving, pleasant, humble, prosperous, full of virtues, devoted to husband, have control over senses and faith in truth. Who pray for goodness of all possesses pleasant qualities and habits. Those men or women who want
Lakshmi in their life they must have above mentioned qualities to
make mother Lakshmi stable in their house. Mother Lakshmi also has some dislikes. Mother Lakshmi says that I leave and never live in
those houses where dishonest people live. Mother Lakshmi says”

Mother Lakshmi says” she dose not like to live in their house who are lazy. Mother Lakshmi never lives in their houses who are atheist,
ungrateful, misanthrope, cruel, thief and hate honourable and try to find and high light their mistake. Lakshmi also dose not stay with sort tempered people and those who hold something else in heart and
show something else out. Mother Lakshmi says” I don’t like those
women who don’t respect their household items.

women who speak against their husband and do things without thinking have to live in powerty. Shameless, impure, quarrelsome, always sleepy, gourmand, restless women have to live without
Lakshmi.Mother Lakshmi says “I don’t like to visit those women who like other houses more than her own. Regardless how many time and what time you worship Mothe Lakshmi if you don’t have above virtue and have those drawbacks Laksmi will not come into your life. Let not clean houses but also clean your heart this Diwali. don’t only decorate buildings but decorate your mind,heart and soul with virtue.i would like to wish you all happy Diwali.
