Even according to non-Vaishnava schools of thought, Lakshmi is a form of the universal mother Parvati. Hence identifying lakshmi with Ganapati is unethical and abusive by any yardstick. The way TTD have printed it is rather ridiculous and humiliating. They have written in sequence "Sriyai namah, Sri mahalakshmi ganapataye namah, Sri lakshmi Venkateswarabhyam namah", thus questioning the supremacy of sarvEsvara Lord Srivenkateswara and anayArha Seshtavam or exclusive belonging of Mother Lakshmi to Srimannarayana. This is how the official Thirumala temple panchangam which enlists various festivals and thirunakshatrams is published, pooh-poohin at the very fundamental traditions that are followed in the temple. adiyen ramanuja dasan Vishnu --- In ramanuja_society@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx, Mohan <mohan0128@> wrote: > > The concept of "Lakshmi Ganapathy" has become popular of late, with > virtually no justification at all within Vedic thought.
