In Vaikuntha she is Narayan's Sri; on Prithvilok, she is Krishna's Devashree
Call them Krishna and Devashree or Narayan and Lakshmi; both are as eternal as time. Experience their joy and pain by accompanying them in their trials of Dharm and Adharm...
In the divine and majestic abode of Kailash, a rather special assembly was taking place place.
Seated in a semi-circle that somehow still felt like a cozy living room were Lord Shiva (Mahadev), Goddess Parvati, their children Lord Ganesh and Lord Kartikeya, and the ever-enthusiastic sage Narad Muni.
"Lakshmi Narayan ka prem ek baar phir iss shrishti ke liye aadarsh bani hai. Prem,samarpan aur vishwas ki ek nayi paribhasha sikhai hai." Mahadev initiated the conversation with a twinkle in his third eye. ("The love of Lakshmi and Narayan has once again become an ideal for this creation. It has taught a new definition of love, dedication, and trust")
"Sahi kaha Mahadev. Un dono ka bhaktibhav aur sevabhavi sabhi ke liye prerna ka stotra ban gaya hai." Goddess Parvati, with her inherent grace and wit, added. ("You are right, Mahadev. Their devotion and service have become a hymn of inspiration for everyone.")
"Narayan Narayan! Oh, what a sight it will be! The moment they would be reunited, I bet the heavens would not be able to hold back their applause. Even the stars would twinkle a bit brighter, or so I like to think. It will be as if the universe itself will be rooting for them!" Narad Muni, unable to contain his excitement, chimed in.
"Imagine if every time we reunited with something we loved, a shower of modaks fell from the sky. The joy of reunion and delicious treats? Now that's what I call a heavenly celebration!" Little Ganesha couldn't help but relate everything back to his favorite topic of food and sweets.
"Well, if it were up to me, every grand reunion would be marked with a fireworks show. Imagine, sparks flying, not just from the fireworks but from the hearts rekindling their love." Kartikeya added."
And why not, after all? It was after a very long period of utter desolation, that the divine celestial abode of the Supreme Lord of Universe, Vaikuntha, was radiant in its state.
Ksheer sagar, the milky ocean, was vibrating in sheer anticipation to witness the divine meeting of their Lord and Mata.
The lotuses, which had dulled and shriveled in the absence of their Swamini had once again revitalized in delight to welcome the God and his Goddess.
Even the Devas and Devis of Devlok were becoming extremely impatient to witness the long-awaited Milan of Lakshminarayan after such rigorous and heartbreaking sacrifice that they went through in their recent avatar on Prithvilok.
As the realm of Vaikuntha stired with anticipation, the divine abode of Lord Narayan prepared itself for an event of cosmic significance-the reunion with Goddess Lakshmi and Lord Narayan after a period of long separation.
It was as if the very essence of the universe aligned to facilitate this sacred union.
The skies of Vaikuntha became colorful with more vibrant hues. Swirls of gold and azure blended seamlessly, reflecting the divine energies of Narayan and Lakshmi.
The air seemed to shimmer with the fragrance of divine flowers each bloom radiating an unearthly glow.
The waters of the Viraja River glistened more brightly than ever as it carried lotuses of unparalleled beauty, each petal shimmering with the light of a thousand suns.
As the moment of reunion drew near, the Devas, celestial beings, and sages gathered, each offering prayers and hymns of praise.
Narad muni who was currently in Kailash with Mahadev and Parvati along with Ganesh and Kartikeya could not stop himself and said,
"Narayan Narayan! Hey Prabhu how long will I have to wait before I see my Prabhu and my mata together? They have suffered so much in mrityulok that I long to see the happiness of my Prabhu and Mata." He finished with a lamenting sigh.
To this Mahadev replied, "Don't worry much about it. My Aradhya will not be long now. Look!!"
Suddenly a divine light filled all through Devlok almost blinding even the Devas and Devis indicating that the Supreme Swami and Swamini of the Universe are finally home.
The Ksheersagar, the milky ocean which was vibrating with immense waves became still in response to the blinding light as two godly beings appeared at its heart.
And then, in a moment of unparalleled beauty, Lord Narayan and Goddess Lakshmi come together. Their reunion is a spectacle of divine love and light, a fusion of souls that illuminates the entire cosmos.
As they embraced, Vaikuntha and all its inhabitants rejoiced, for the heart of the universe beat once more in perfect harmony.
One had blue skin symbolising his infinite, immeasurable power like the ocean and sky while the other with radiant milky white complexion.
Both were adorned by exquisite gold jewellery with big black Lotus eyes staring longingly at each other.
"Swami," Lakshmi whispered, her voice filled with love and relief.
"Chanchale," Narayan replied softly, his eyes brimming with adoration.
The blue of the ocean met the gold of the world and the universe rejoiced.
