Laxmi and Shani
Story 1
Once travelling in the galaxial path, mother Laxmi happened to meet Shani deva. Both being very top authorities of the universe, entered to into an argument as to who must leave the way for the another.Ending into a no-acceptable solution, they reached out to Indra, Brihaspati & then to the most respected trinities. But, the confused trinities were too not able to converge to a good decision.Finally, Lord Vishnu suggested to reach none other than devarshi Narada, who alone could pacify the candidates.Narada appeared there & then. Hearing to both sides, he requested Laxmi devi & Shani deva to walk together to & fro as many times as they could !.
In the course of their walk, Narada use to appreciate in a loud voice - "Very nice ! Very nice ! ....."To this, the trinities with others run to Narada & ask who is supreme.Narada smiled & then replied - "I have observed Laxmi devi & Shani deva very minutely. Their walk styles are highly attractive. It gives me equal comfort when I witness them here or anywhere. I rate them equal hence."But this was certainly not an expected outcome for anybody round there. The annoyed devas asked Narada to pacify them with a more intellectual reply.
Narada disclosed - "Though the walk styles are equally attractive, still, there is a difference !! "And, what is that difference ?"It is nice to see Laxmi walking towards me & Shani walking away from me.""Therefore, the enjoyment is entirely time/requirement dependent ....""Time & time alone distinguishes the importance of Laxmi & Shani. They are equally respectful otherwise & else."Pacified devas & trinities supported Naradas's brilliant view of tackling the problem in one voice.On the other hand, Laxmi & Shani also blessed Narada & saluted each other also.
Story 2
Once a King organized a big craft fair so he invited many craftsmen from all over the country. He assured that whatever they would not be able to sell, he would buy them at an appropriate price. Many craftsmen came with their various kinds of crafts, but one foolish craftsman brought an iron statue of Shani Dev. Naturally nobody purchased it, so the King had to buy it. That night the King saw a Devee in his dream, she was Lakshmee - Devee of wealth, leaving his body. The King asked her "Who are you?" She replied - "I am Lakshmee, Devee of wealth and prosperity. I cannot remain in the same house where Shani lives." The King saluted her respectfully and she went away.
Next came a Devtaa of Vaibhav (glory) who also left him as he also could not stay there where there was no Lakshmee. The King saluted him also and he also went away. In the same way others : Dharm (righteousness), Dayaa (compassion), Kshamaa (forbearance) also left him, but when Satya (truthfulness) started leaving, the King held his feet and said - "I never left you all these days so you cannot leave me now."
All other qualities were waiting out side for Satya to join them, so that they could go somewhere else. When Satya did not come out for quite some time, Dharm said - "I have to go back, I can't exist without him." and he returned to the king's palace. Then others also followed him, one by one, in reverse order. At last Lakshmee also had to return, because she also could not exist without them. She said to the King - "Thanks to your love for Satya which brought all of us back to you. Who holds the Satya so firmly has never have to suffer with any misery."
