Abstract: We derive the `exact' Newtonian limit of general relativity with a positive cosmological constant $Lambda$. We point out that in contrast to the case with $Lambda=0$, the presence of a positive $Lambda$ in Einsteins's equations enforces, via the condition $|Phi|ll1$, on the potential $Phi$, a range ${calR}_{max}(Lambda)ggrgg{calR}_{min}(Lambda)$, within which the Newtonian limit is valid. It also leads to the existence of a maximum mass, ${calM}_{max}(Lambda)$. As a consequence we cannot put the boundary condition for the solution of the Poisson equation at infinity. A boundary condition suitably chosen now at a finite range will then get reflected in the solution of $Phi$ provided the mass distribution is not spherically symmetric.
