Dhana Lakshmi is the capricious one. She has the best PR among all the Lakshmis, and so most favoured and wanted by most. But she can come and go. She is flighty and wild.

Vidya means Knowledge. Vidya Lakshmi represents the Wealth gained from Knowledge. All types of Knowledge – material and spiritual. Knowledge sets us free. Knowledge reveals secrets. The great thing about Knowledge is that once you have acquired it, it is yours forever. Knowledge is loyal.

And when you have Knowledge on your side, almost everything comes to you all by itself. Even the whimsical Dhana Lakshmi. Even if, by some twist of fate, Dhana Lakshmi (or any of the other Lakshmis) leave you, with Knowledge firmly set in your life, you will know how to get them all back.

May the seventh aspect of the Ashta Lakshmi pantheon, Vidya Lakshmi smile on us. May Knowledge come to us effortlessly and easily. May we be steeped in Knowledge and feel that solid security that whatever happens, we will prevail.
