6. Veera Lakshmi A symbol of bravery and valor, Veera Lakshmi blesses worshippers with the strength required to overcome obstacles on the path of one’s material and spiritual life. Covered in flowers and gold ornaments, and seated on a pink lotus, she is depicted with eight hands — one with a discus, one with a bow, one with an arrow, one with a sword or trident, one with palm leaf scriptures, one with a conch, one in Varada mudra, and one in Abhaya mudra. Wielding a medley of weapons, Veera Lakshmi is known also as Dhairya Lakshmi (dhairya meaning “courage”), who grants one the fearlessness needed to persevere through life’s ups and downs, thus favoring those who resolve to remain determined and optimistic in all circumstances.
