Status of Lakshmi - Quiry.

From the Bhakti List Archives

Jagan Mohan R. Naidu • March 28, 1999 


Dear Bhaktas,
I would like to be enlightened about the status of Sri Lakshmi as the
consort of Lord Narayana. 
Is she also a permanant part of Lord Narayana?
or is she, as dvaitins claim, a soul (like the rest of us) at a very
high office or status?

If this is a fact that Sri Lakshmi is inseperatable from her Lord, then
is is possible to say that Lakshmi is one of the attributes of Lord
Narayana (as the lord of Sri)? 

I would be most happy to learn about SriLakshmi in our parampara
especially when our parampara is named after her.

Adiyen,
Jagan Mohan -Ramanujadasan.
