Vishnu is the embodiment of mercy and godness, and the guardian of the cosmic order, the Dharma. Lakshmi or Mahalakshmi, the goddess of wealth and prosperity, is his consort. Shesha is the king of nagas and an avatar of the Supreme God known as Sankarshan. I would like this picture to participate in the Indian Mithology Contest by :iconnidhi-rathish: , here : [link]

Visnhnu es la personificación de la piedad y bondad, y el guardián del orden cósmico, el Dharma. Lakshmi o Mahalakshmi, la diosa de la riqueza y la prosperidad, es su consorte.

As an art... i must say..its fabulous indeed.. but the concept of Lord Vishnu embracing Maha lakshmi (without garmets) never happens. Goddess Lakshmi is a servitor of Lord Vishnu.. who always massages and serves His Lotus Feet.. and feels the ecstatic bliss within.

Just an information on top of what you already have.. :)

But once again.. magnificent work..u have so much talent.. u can actually draw amazing spiritual artwork ;)

hare Krishna ^_^

well... firstly i apologize...as i do not even recall what exactly i commented to receive the response you gave me..

secondly... one should know the meaning of term 'Wife' as per few thousand years ago.. It is totally different from today's modern day wife who, if did not get her share of sense gratification, would sue the husband and divorce him and take as much money from him as possible..lol XD

husband wife relationship in those ancient days were much more than just some physical or mental sense gratification..it was more of a responsibility and sense of service.. The husband was also caring, loving and would stick to one wife (exception are the true kshatriya of that time) not like a typical male nature of 21st century, who can not even properly look after one woman.. and lust after many..lol!

So now.. wife's main responsibility and duty was to serve the husband and to keep him always pleased.. in this way she aided the husband in his spiritual practices and in turn would get the spiritual share of her husband without endeavoring. So, the main theme is service.. a dasi.. you might call.. but the relationship is of husband wife.. not just ONLY dasi..

if you want any detailed information in regards to how the etiquette is in terms of scriptures.. please feel free.. i can write essays.. not just based on my fanatical ideas.. but based on historical facts from the puranas and the vedas.

that is the reason why Lakshmi devi is ever blissful serving the lord by massaging His feet.. there is no pain for Her... It is we who try to fit in our conception of a slave and depict it in Their relationship..

even in this world.. if one truely loves another.. what pains is he not willing to take to please the beloved.. (maybe u have yet to go through it :D).. externally it might appear as its painful and as suffering...but internally it is ever blissful to serve the most beloved one.. :)

i m not trying to prove my expertise in such matters..but its quite simple, common sense i might say..

the joining of the divine couple is not some mundane thing of this world.. and one can, most certainly, not comprehend with his or her limited perception and intellect that which is infinite and unborn.. ^__^

I pray that you might get some opportunity to dive deep into the spiritual significance which Bhagwatam and Gita has to offer.. and after possessing such knowledge one is in better position to begin to understand the eternal couple and their pastimes.. ^__^

Hare Krishna :)
