Enjoy a virtual tour of Maria Montessori's Study, narrated as if she were guiding us herself:
This is a dear gift from India: the small wood carved statuette shows the goddess Lakshmi. She is the goddess of wealth and fortune, but is also associated with perseverance, having children, and gaining spiritual awakening. This gift could not have been more fitting, and I feel that Lakshmi fulfilled her promise of spiritual wealth through the inspiration I received from my years in India.
