Hari and Siri
So, this is an excerpt from Sri Samavedam Shanmukha Sharma gari discourse on how to worship MahaLakshmi. In this particular clip, he was quoting Gajendra Moksham and explaining how Sri Mahalakshmi always follows Sri Hari. Loose translation: Where there is Hari, there is Siri. When Gajendra called Hari for help,Siri followed him. Just like how light and flame go together, the same way Siri cannot be separated from Hari. He compared Lakshmi to light and Sri Hari to the source of light. If a householder invites only Lakshmi, she will come but will not stay there forever. But invited along with Hari, she'll stay there forever because he is her abode. Siri is vikruthi for Sri in Telugu. A very common name among girls in Telugu speaking states. The painting is by renowned artist Bapu.5
