My husband was the commission agent in the market of diamonds. He had comparatively good income we used to live happily with our two sons. We had no trouble at all. We had neither a motor car nor a bungalow. We were not even well to do from the financial point of view. But my husband was praised well in the business of diamond-market. Hence he had a great prestige in the business. We felt that we were very happy. No body would have been so much happy as we had been. We were satisfied with our family life. But who would have passed all the days happily? And really, the day dawned in our life when the dark clouds of calamities heavily fell on us.

At night my husband returned home. As usual he hung up his bush-shirt on the peg. Having changed the pantaloon, he tried to take out the packets of diamonds from his pocket, but unfortunately the packets were not found. Hurriedly he again tried to find the packets from the pockets of his shirt, but did not succeed to get the same. Afterwards he tried to search on the floor of the house and in all directions. I saw from the kitchen that he had been trying to search something. Hence I went near him and said, ‘What are you trying to search? "Have you lost anything?’ He said with heavy heart!

Yes, the packing of diamond-packets is not found. I had put it into the left pocket of my pant. If we cannot find it out, we would be drowned into debt. We shall have to sell out this flat also."

I lost all my senses. I switched down the gas and ran from the kitchen and hastily tried to find out the packing of the diamond packets on the way of coming and going and on the staircase of the apartment and behind the staircase. Unfortunately the packet was not found. We both of us-husband and wife sat down on the sofa with great shock and disappointment. How much happy we had been! And how great calamity had crushed us! Shall we lose everything? Tears began to drop form my eyes.

At that critical moment, my husband’s friend came to visit us with his wife. I welcomed them and gave them a glass of water. Having seen the shadow of sorrow on our faces, he said with a smile. "What is the matter? Have you quarreled today?"

While weeping I described every thing that had happened. They too were dumb with shock. All of a sudden Ramilaben the wife of my husband’s friend called me in the kitchen and said, ‘would you believe what I am saying to you?

‘What’ I said to her.

Ramilben said to me. ‘You devotedly decide to observe the Vrat of Vaibhava Laxmi. Men may not have faith in the Vrat, but we should have full faith in the Vrat. This is the Vrat of Dhan Laxmi. It has miraculous influence in this Iron Age (age of vice and irreligious prescribed by Kali). You do observe the Vrat. And she described to give fifty-one copies of this book as present to the women. Keeping the Vrat with full faith in the heart, I began to entreat Goddess Dhan Laxmi saying, ‘Oh Mother, kindly let us regain our lost diamonds and save our family from disparity.’

The whole night I continuously uttered the pious name of Goddess Laxmi. At the rising of the sun, in the dim Sunlight we went out in search of packets of diamonds inspired by the Goddess herself. We began to utter Her pious name and tried to find looking minutely on both sides of the road, from where my husband had returned home by scooter. As soon as we entered into the neighboring street of diamond-market, I happened to see the packet slightly hidden into the dust in the corner. I pointed it out to my husband.

"There it is! There it is!" He uttered out and picked up the packet promptly. It was the same packing in which all the packets were tagged with a rubber string. At last we regained the same packing of the diamond-packets. Really! Tears of joy dropped from the eyes of my husband. We deeply felt that we were saved from the terrible destructive disaster of our life.

I told my husband about the oath taken by me for the observance of the Vaibhava Laxmi Vrat for twenty-one Friday. And from the following Friday we-I and my husband, began to observe the Vrat. With full faith and devotion we completed the observance of Vrat for twenty-one Friday and gave fifty-one books of Vaibhava Laxmi Vrat as present to the women.

Dear readers! The above-described incident proves the pious influence of Goddess Dhan Laxmi.
