How Sri Lakshmi came to worship the Lord

Sri Lakshmi, the goddess of wealth, consort of Lord Vishnu, is said to be treasured to be on the right side of Lord Vishnu’s chest. Due to circumstances, she was separated from Lord Vishnu. When the Devas and Asuras were churning the ocean for nectar, Lakshmi emerged, among others. Saddened at the separation from Lord Vishnu, Sri prayed to Sri Chakra. Lord Siva appeared before her and granted her wish to be reinstated on Lord Vishnu’s chest.
