Despite her povert On the first Thursday of Margasira, Maa Laxmi wishes to visit Earth. She disguises herself to test her devotees. She meets Sriya, a poor, humble girl living with her widowed mother. Despite her poverty, Sriya is deeply devoted to Maa Laxmi. On Manabasa Gurubar, she has nothing to perform the puja. Maa Laxmi appears as an old woman with puja materials. She gifts them to Sriya, who performs the rituals with faith. From that day, unseen blessings begin to enter Sriya’s life. Rajesh, a rich young man, meets Sriya by chance. Soon after, his family dispute gets miraculously resolved. Believing Sriya to be lucky, Rajesh wants marries her. But His greedy brothers and their wives oppose the marriage. They plan to marry him to an industrialist’s unstable daughter. Their father, Ramachandra Pradhana, supports Sriya’s goodness. Finally both get married. The sisters-in-law and brothers plot wickedly to harm Sriya—by poisoning her food, leaking gas in her room, and even attempting to strangle her. Each time, Maa Laxmi intervenes, performing divine miracles to save Sriya. One day, Ramachandra discovers their conspiracy. Shocked and heartbroken, he suffers a heart attack. Before losing consciousness, he transfers all his property to Sriya’s name to protect her. Enraged, the brothers manipulate Rajesh into selling the family factory and properties, convincing him to invest in foreign trade. They deceitfully make him sign documents under the guise of health insurance, handing over large sums to a dishonest broker. When Sriya and Ramachandra learn of this betrayal, chaos follows. In a moment of anger and confusion, Rajesh raises his hand against his father, creating a deep rift within the family. The greedy brothers and their wives throw Sriya and Ramachandra out of the house and even discard the idol of Maa Laxmi and Sriya’s belongings onto the street—an act that greatly angers the Goddess. Homeless and heartbroken, Sriya and her father-in-law move into a small rented house. Soon after, misfortune strikes the others— the broker absconds with all their money, the police raid their home, and the entire family loses everything. Once wealthy and arrogant, they are now reduced to begging for food, suffering in misery and regret, much like the trials described in the Laxmi Purana. Eventually, realizing the consequences of their greed and cruelty, Rajesh and his family seek forgiveness from Sriya. With a heart full of compassion, Sriya forgives them, restoring peace, prosperity, and harmony to the family. Read More Read Less
