When two important words-Prosperity and Accomplishment,
come to our mind-
we call up
Devi Lakshmi and Lord Ganesha.
One brother, another sister-They're worshipped for ever and ever.

Sits on a Lotus pedestal-Symbolising-Dharma,Karma,Artha and Moksha,
Devi Lakshmi
A golden-coloured woman
with a barn owl as her vahana,
showers Prosperity.

Symbolising-Riddhi,Siddhi,Buddhi
God of beginnings,
Lord Ganesha is.
This elephant-headed Lord,
with a mouse as his vahana,
gives fulfillment.

(On the occasion of Poila Baishakh-
we worship Lakshmi and Ganesha,
and gain Prosperity and Accomplishment.)
