Pieper & Bop # 304. Lakshmi, the wife of Vishnu, is the goddess of fortune, wealth and prosperity and one of the most popular divinities from the Hindu pantheon. Incarnations of Vishnu are Rama and Krishna, as incarnations of Lakshmi are Sita (Rama's wife) and Radha (Krishna's lover). Lakshmi has a special association to the lotus flower which stands for growth and fertility- so much that even the world is said to be continually reborn from a lotus which comes out of the navel of Vishnu.
