🪷 Participate in the grand 500-litre Milk Maha Abhishek at Maa Gajalakshmi Temple in Ujjain this Dhanteras and seek relief from poverty-related doshas, financial obstacles and debts accumulated over lifetimes.
📜 The Vishnu Purana and Bhagavata Purana describe how, when the Devas and Asuras churned Ksheer Sagar, the cosmic ocean of milk, Maa Lakshmi emerged from its boundless white depths, seated upon a lotus and radiating a golden glow. At that divine moment, two celestial elephants began performing her Abhishek with milk from golden vessels, while the entire heavenly realm bowed before her. Maa Lakshmi then accepted Lord Vishnu as her consort. This is also why she is known as Ksheersagar Kanyaka, meaning the Goddess born from the ocean of milk.
🌟 Milk is associated with Maa Gajalakshmi’s divine origin. Performing Milk Abhishek on Dhanteras is therefore regarded as a highly auspicious offering. You are bathing Maa in the very element associated with her emergence, commemorating her first divine Abhishek at her revered sacred abode.
🐘Gajalakshmi, Seated Upon Airavat - The Goddess Who Restored the Lost Kingdoms of Indra and Vikramaditya
🪐 According to local legend, when Shani’s Sade Sati deprived Emperor Vikramaditya of his kingdom, wealth, splendour and honour, he performed the Ashta Lakshmi sadhana of Maa Gajalakshmi. Pleased with his devotion, Maa restored his royal prosperity. When he asked for a boon, he prayed, “May the city of Ujjain always remain abundant in wealth and food grains.” Maa granted his wish with Tathastu and chose to reside in the city permanently. Since then, the idol has been revered as Vikramaditya’s Rajlakshmi, the Goddess of royal prosperity.
If you, too, have experienced financial losses, a struggling business, mounting debts or the hardships of Sade Sati, this is the sacred place where an emperor is believed to have regained his royal prosperity. Seek Maa Gajalakshmi’s blessings for a fresh beginning.
