Namaste!
While
I do not have full clarity on your questions, I would like to reply to my
limited intellect for your 1st and 2nd questions:
1. It is said Mahalakshmi was
born on this day out of Samudra Mathanam. Does it mean that there was no
Mahalakshmi earlier to this event?
--> Mahalaxmi is nitya (eternal) unlike Chaturmukha Brahma to
the blade of grass who gets into unmanifested state during Pralaya. She is
eternally existent along with Hari. Hence this question does not
apply to her gunas (viz., nityatva)
2. Was Sriman Narayana a
bachelor till then?
-->
At no point of time Narayana or Lakshmi are separated. They are both
together always. In all his incarnations she will be there with
him. She is called as 'Vishnu Hruthkamala Vasini' (residing in the
heart of Hari). Please refer Purusha Suktha (Hreescha the
lakshmischa patnou, "ahoratre parshve") and Sri Suktha for a better handle
on their relationship who are eternally related to each other. Hence this
question does not arise. Rest It is all Hari leela to dismay asuras and
throw them into ignorance.
As
regards 4th question - pls consider sacred words of Acharyas (Sri Ramanuja, Sri
Vedantha Desika etc.,) as truth and not any other stories. We need to get
to the root of the story as to who wrote it and the background and then refer
whether Acharya quoted on it. For us Acharya's words are pramana and
not others.
Thanks
sukumar
