Significance of Fortune

Fortune in various philosophical and religious contexts illustrates its multidimensional nature. In Tibetan Buddhism, it is seen as a predetermined state of well-being unrelated to material wealth. Vaishnavism highlights the term dhanya to represent fortune. Puranic texts define it through concepts like Shrih and Vibhati, linking it to prosperity and auspiciousness sought through worship. Natyashastra associates fortune with Nritya during special occasions, while historical perspectives emphasize inner wealth and spiritual fortune over material possessions.1
