He is sometimes depicted riding a man. The description of deformities like the broken teeth, three legs, three heads and four arms appear only in the later Puranic texts. Kubera holds a mace, a pomegranate or a money bag in his hand. He may also carry a sheaf of jewels or a mongoose with him. In Tibet, the mongoose is considered a symbol of Kubera’s victory over Nāgas—the guardians of treasures. Kubera is usually depicted with a mongoose in Buddhist iconography.

In the Vishnudharmottara Purana, Kubera is described as the embodiment of both Artha (“wealth, prosperity, glory”) and Arthashastras, the treatises related to it—and his iconography mirrors it. Kubera’s complexion is described as that of lotus leaves. He rides a man—the state personified, adorned in golden clothes and ornaments, symbolizing his wealth. His left eye is yellow. He wears an armour and a necklace down to his large belly. The Vishnudharmottara Purana further describes his face to be inclined to the left, sporting a beard and mustache, and with two small tusks protruding from the ends of his mouth, representing his powers to punish and to bestow favours. His wife Riddhi, representing the journey of life, is seated on his left lap, with her left hand on the back of Kubera and the right holding a ratna-patra (jewel-pot). Kubera should be four-armed, holding a gada (mace: symbol of dandaniti—administration of justice) and a shakti (power) in his left pair, and standards bearing a lion—representing Artha and a shibika (a club, the weapon of Kubera). The nidhi treasures Padma and Shankha stand beside him in human form, with their heads emerging from a lotus and a conch respectively.

The Agni Purana states that Kubera should be installed in temples as seated on a goat, and with a club in his hand. Kubera’s image is prescribed to be that of gold, with multi-coloured attributes. In some sources, especially in Jain depictions, Kubera is depicted as a drunkard, signified by the “nectar vessel” in his hand.

Names Of Lord Kubera
Kubera was originally the ruler of Lanka but His scheming step-brother Ravana supplanted Him by performing severe austerities to obtain powers for that. He also seized Kubera’s magic vehicle Pushpaka and banished Him from lanka. Vishwakarma, the builder of the Gods created a new abode for him called Alaka or Alakapuri in the Himalayas. Alakapuri was in close proximity to Mount Kailash, the abode of Lord Shiva. His new kingdom was splendid and opulent beyond imagination. He also owned a beautiful garden called Chaitrarath on Mount Mandara. Since it was located in the North, the direction Kubera rules, it was ideal for Him to dwell in and discharge His duties of safeguarding treasures of gold, silver, jewels, pearls and the nine Nidhis (special treasures) on the earth.

Kubera And Lord Venkateswara
The exact origins of the name Kubera are unknown. “Kubera” or “Kuvera” as spelt in later Sanskrit, means “deformed or monstrous” or “ill-shaped one”; indicating his deformities. Another theory suggests that Kubera may be derived from the verb root kumba, meaning to conceal. Kuvera is also split as ku (earth), and vira (hero).

As the son of Vishrava (“Fame”), Kubera is called Vaisravana (in the Pali language, Vessavana) and as the son of Ilavila, Ailavila. Vaisravana is sometimes translated as the “Son of Fame”. The Sutta Nitapa commentary says that Vaisravana is derived from a name of Kubera’s kingdom, Visana. Once, Kubera looked at Shiva and his wife Parvati with jealousy, so he lost one of his eyes. Parvati also turned this deformed eye yellow. So, Kubera gained the name Ekaksipingala (“one who has one yellow eye”). He is also called Bhutesha (“Lord of spirits”) like Shiva. Kubera usually is drawn by spirits or men (nara), so is called Nara-vahana, one whose vahana (mount) is nara. Hopkins interprets naras as being water-spirits, although Mani translates nara as men. Kubera also rides the elephant called Sarvabhauma as a loka-pala. His garden is named Chaitrarath.

Kubera also enjoys the titles “king of the whole world”, “king of kings” (Rajaraja), “Lord of wealth” (Dhanadhipati) and “giver of wealth” (Dhanada). His titles are sometimes related to his subjects: “king of Yakshas” (Yaksharajan), “Lord of Rakshasas” (Rakshasadhipati), “Lord of Guhyakas” (Guhyakadhipa), “king of Kinnaras”(Kinnararaja), “king of animals resembling men” (Mayuraja), and “king of men” (Nararaja). Kubera is also called Guhyadhipa (“Lord of the hidden”). The Atharvaveda calls him the “god of hiding”.

Lord Kubera is the ‘treasurer of the gods’ and ‘king of Yaksha’. He is a true representation of wealth, prosperity and glory. Lord Kubera not only distributes, but also maintains and guards all the treasures of this universe. Hence, he is also known as guardian of wealth.

Lord Kubera is the ‘treasurer of the gods’ and ‘king of Yaksha’. He is a true representation of wealth, prosperity and glory. Lord Kubera, also known as Kuber, Kuvera and Dhanpati, is worshipped as the God of Wealth by Hindus. Kubera is one god that all the three religions of India namely Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism all claim to be their own.

 

Lord Kuber
Lord Kuber is one god that all the three religions of India namely Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism claim to be their own.

Lord Kuber is the actual God of wealth in Indian mythology. This is well known to the traditional trading and business communities of India who used to, and still continues to worship him in their homes on the occasion of Diwali. The temples of Hindus, Buddhists and Jains have Kuber prominently associated with them. It would seem therefore that Kuber belonged to the ancient deities of India, the guardians and protectors of the very land itself, the Yakshas who were once mighty and powerful over the land. He is often depicted as a fair dwarf with a big belly. He holds a rod, a pomegranate or a money bag in his hand.

The very name Yaksha comes from the phrase they were supposed to have uttered when Brahma created them, “Yakshamam! – We shall protect!” It is therefore not surprising to realize that Kuvera is the guardian of the North Quadrant of the earth and has under him all other Yakshas who did not make it to divine status. Those who did included Laxmi, Ganapati, Hanuman and Kali who all seem to have been local Yaksha deities to begin with before assuming Pan-Indian importance. The fact that the Sapta-Matrikas, the Seven Great Mother Goddesses are always represented in sculpture being protected by Kuber on one side and Ganapati on the other is clear enough indication of their common origins.

In Hindu mythology Kuber is represented as the son of Lord Brahma. He is the ruler over a hidden city in the Himalayas called Alkapuri, which has all the stored up wealth of the Earth. This is close to the abode of Shiva, Kailasha. Kuvera is supposed to be a Shiva- worshipper as well as close friend of the great god hence his name Isasakha – which is just a mythological acknowledgement of the process of assimilation. He happens to be immortal and as a good Yaksha, one of the guardians of the Earth. His half brother was the famous Ravana, who caused him no end of trouble and took away his other kingdom, the fabled city-state of Lanka.

His wife is called Yakshi. In Buddhist mythology she was called Hariti – the stealer, as she had the distressing habit of spiriting away children until Buddha gave her a taste of her own medicine by concealing her child for a while and affecting a cure. Yakshi is also a matrika, who have peculiar ambivalent responsibilities – allowed to plague children till sixteen after which they have to protect them for life.

 

 

Who is Lord Kubera, Benefits of Kuber Puja
Who is Lord Kubera?
Lord Kubera, also known as Kuvera, Kuber or Kuberan is the God of Gold, wealth and treasure.

Different stories narrate different versions of Lord Kuber’s stories about who is lord Kuber, How he was born and How he became Lord of Wealth.

Lord Kuber belongs to Brahma’s family and was the son of sage Vishrava (son of Pulatsya and grandson of Brahma) and Illavida. Vaishnava later married a demon princess, Kaikesi, with whom he had 4 children, Ravan, Kumbhkaran, Surpnakha, and Vibhishan, which makes Lord Kuber their step-brother.

 

The first mention of Kubera is given in Vedas, but instead of his mention as God, he is described as the chief of evil spirits. Even the Shatpath Brahman also defines him as chief of criminals and murderers, but in the Puranas like Shiva Puran and Hindu epics like Ramayan and Mahabharat, describe him as God, as “Kuber Dev” His journey from being chief of evil spirits to becoming God is one of the unique and interesting stories of Hindu Mythology.

 

Kubera, the word in Sanskrit, means a deformed body structure. Lord Kuber did not enjoy a beautiful physical appearance like other gods and was portrayed as a dwarf with Lotus-like pink complexation, big belly, only eight teeth, three legs and one eye (he lost one eye as he saw Devi Parvati with bad intentions, but later he got it back after countless prayers). He wears lots of jewels down to his belly and also holds a money bag with jewels and a mongoose.

Henry David Thoreau says “Wealth is the ability to fully experience life.” Even if the context sounds capitalistic, it’s somewhat true, and believe it or not, in Hindu Culture, we worship some of the gods to attain wealth and luxury, one such God is Lord Kubera, the God of Gold. People who follow Hindu culture believe, that he can bless his devotees with immense wealth and prosperity.

How did Lord Kuber become God of Wealth?
The first story narrates the legends between Kuber and Ravana

Kuber performed years of Penance of Brahma, who got impressed by him and gave him the riches in the world, the Pushpak vimana and the gold City of Lanka. Kuber, who was the rightful king of Lanka, was the step-brother of Ravana. Ravana fought and defeated Kuber after he pleased Brahma and became powerful with his blessings and threw him out of Lanka. Ravan took charge of the city and even took the “Pushpak Vimaan”. Kuber left all that he had and settled near Kailash, at Alkapuri. There are stories in Purana about how Alkapuri was attacked by various people and how its wealth was stolen over time.

 

The second story narrates the legend between Kuber and Bhagwan Shiva

Kuber was a great devotee of Bhagwan Shiva and after years of Penance, Shiva finally appeared before him and blessed him with the Title of Lokpal (protector of gates), Title of Dikpala (protector of Direction), Shiva also made him the guardian of all the wealth and gold on Earth. With time, Kuber became greedy and started using wealth for his selfish motives. In order to teach him a lesson, Bhagwan Shiva sent Ganesha to the Kubera feast invitation.

Bhagwan Ganesha reached Kubera’s house and asked for food. Kuber presented him with lots of food items available for all the gods invited to the feast, but despite cooking everything he had, Kuber could not satisfy the hunger of Ganesha. Ganesha started eating plates, utensils and other items and threatened to eat Kubera.

Scared, Kubera ran to Shiva and begged for help, Bagwan Shiva presented him with a bowl of rice cooked by Mata Parvati, which was finally able to satisfy Ganesha’s hunger. Bhagwan Shiva showed him the lesson of never misusing the powers.

 

Another version in Shiva Purana says, millions of years ago, there was a poor man named Gunnidhi. He could not buy food as he never had money and would rely on the robbery to feed himself. Once he broke into the shiv temple with the intention of stealing food but was amazed by the gems, money and luxury at the temple. Suddenly the diyas at the temple went off in prevailing darkness and even after several attempts, Gunnidhi could not ignite them. He also revealed the truth in the darkness. Finally, he removed his shirt and set fire to it, in order to escape from the temple. His truth impressed Bhagwan shiv and blessed him to be a God of Wealth for the future.

 

Various other narrations lead to different stories on how lord Kubera became God of Wealth, like Mahabharat and other Hindu epics.

Lord Kubera – Hindu God of Wealth and Prosperity
Lord Kubera, ‘Treasurer of the gods’ and ‘King of Yaksha’s’, is also said to be the god of wealth according to Hindu scriptures. Lord Kubera is (Kuvera, Kuber or Kuberan) is associated with all kind of treasures that lies in this earth, such as minerals and jewels, and all the riches that human owns as a whole.

In Hindu religion, the guardians of the directions or Dikpalas are the one who protects the directions. Among 10 guardians of direction, Lord Kubera is the Dikpalas of the North direction. Due to this Lord Kuber is regarded as governor of North. According to Brahma Purana and Ramayana, Kubera is the half-blood siblings of the chief antagonist of Ramayan, Ravana. The Vishrava, the father of Kuber, married to Rakshasa princess Kaikesi who gives birth to four children: Ravana, Kumbhakarna, Vivishana, and Surpanakha.

Ideology
The physical appearance of Kubera is portrayed as a dwarf, having lotus leaves the complexion with a big belly. Kubera was born with deformities in him. He has eight teeth, one eye, and three legs. These appearances, deformities, described him as the chief of an evil spirit in the Hindu book named Vedas. He is decorated with a large number of jewels down up to his belly bottom. According to the Puranas, he carries out a club (Shibika), a weapon, in one hand, and in another, he holds a money bag with some jewels and mongoose.

Names of Lord Kubera
It is believed that Kuber has no proven root of origin. However, there are some write-ups in Sanskrit, mythological event, and some beliefs which described the name Kuber.

In Sanskrit,

The deformed body structures give his name Kubera. More on, the name could also have been derived from the root of “Kumba” which means ‘to disguise or to belie’. Kubera joins with two words ‘Ku’ meaning earth and ‘vira or vera’ meaning heroic activities or heroism.

According to Pauranic Events,

The enviousness towards Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati results in losing his one eye which further turns yellow eye by Parvati. Thus, gained the name Ekaksipingala (yellow-eyed person).
Kuber, the son of Vishravas, which referred to as Vaisravana. The term reveals “fame”. Thus, sometimes Kuber is also called the ‘Son of Fame’.
‘Bhutesha’ is another name of Kuber because of his consideration as “God of Rakshasa”.
In his representation of riding a man, he is also known as Nara-Vahana.
Family Status and Parenthood
In some Hindu scriptures like Mahabharata and Puranas, Kubera belongs to the son of different parents. In Mahabharata, the Kuber is the son of Prajapati Pulastya and his wife Idavida and the brother of sage Vishrava. However, Puranas describe it in different ways. According to the Puranas, he is the grandson of Pulastya Rishi and the son of Vishrava and his wife IIavida (or Ilivila or Devavarnini), daughter of the sage Bharadvaja or Trinabindu.

According to Puranas and Mahabharata, Nalakuvara and Manigriva are the son of yaksha king, Kubera, along with Mayuraja (“king of animals resembling men”); and a daughter called Minakshi (“fish-eyed”). Bhadra, daughter of asura Mura is the wife of Kubera who seats on the lap of Kubera who represents the journey of life.

Acquiring the Position of God
Before the Godhood, he is depicted as the chief of evil spirits. The Puranas, Ramayana and Mahabharata revealed the godhood of Kubera. This is the time when he started being revealed as the lord of wealth, dikpala (savior of the North direction), and lokpala (savior of the world).

According to Ramayana, acquiring godhood is noble by the grant of Lord Brahma as an accolade of his somberness. In addition, the Lord Brahma bestowed him with all the wealth of the world, gave him an equal position with other Gods, and a gift of Puspaka Vimana (a flying chariot). These rewards took him back to his domicile and rule the kingdom of Lanka.

Kubera’s Home
After the reward from Brahma with the Puspaka Vimana, he went to the kingdom of gold, Lanka, and ruled. However, later Ravana confiscates the kingdom from Kuber and exile him from the Lanka. He then settled on the Gandhamadana Mountain near Kailasa. Sometimes, Kailasa is referred to as Kubera’s abode as well. Kubera had a grove called Chaitrartha, where the leaves were made of jewels and the fruits were actually apsaras from the heavens. There was a beautiful lake in the grove called Nalini.

The Kubera has a magnificent hall which was also mentioned in the Mahabharata. In this hall, Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati enjoys the entertainment and fun created by Gandharvas and Apsaras.

Kubera in Other Religion
There are many thoughts regarding the beliefs of Kubera’s existence. Hindu follows the Kubera with its own norms and cultural beliefs. Unlike Hindu, the Buddhist and the Jain have their own prototype.

Buddhism
Kubera in Buddhism is Vaisravana or Jambhala. He is also named as Bishamon by the people of Japan. In Buddhism, Kubera is equivalent to the Pancika whose wife Hariti is the symbol of abundance. The Japanese Bishamon, also considered as Tamon-Ten, is one of the Juni-Ten, a group of 12 Hindu deities, who are also considered to be guardian deities. The Juni-Ten group of deities was arrived at by adding four deities to the original group of Happou-Ten, the eight guardian deities of the eight main directions.

Jainism
In Jainism, Kubera is the attendant Yaksha of the 19th Teerthankara, Mallinath. He is usually referred to as Sarvanubhuti or Sarvahna and is portrayed with four faces, rainbow colors, and eight arms.

Furthermore, in Jainism, there are two believes regarding the appearance of Kubera or Sarvanubhuti. As per the Digambara sect, he has three heads and wields six weapons. The Svetambaras, on the other hand, portray him with six arms and holding numerous weapons that also carried a money bag and a citron fruit. He may be shown either riding a man or an elephant. He is related to the Buddhist Jambhala rather than the Hindu Kubera.

WorshipKubera is the lord of wealth and prosperity. He is also known as the divine treasures of all wealth. He is mostly worshiped in the country of Hinduism, Buddhism, and Jainism. In a country like Nepal and India, he is worshipped along with the Lord Ganesha, mostly during the festivals of lights or Deepawali. There are mantras or hymns which is used to please the deity during the rituals or worship.

Kubera – the treasurer of the gods and king of Yaksha
Kubera holds a variety of titles within Hinduism, most notably being the god of wealth and riches. He is also regarded as the god of fertility, a tutelary household spirit, the protector of sailors, and God of the dead. In the Satapatha Brahmana, he is the lord of thieves and criminals, and these are but a few different titles he possesses. Despite having various titles and responsibilities, he is often associated with having a lesser role in Hindu mythology in relation to other deities. However, this does not mean that Kubera does not have a rich history and importance within the mythological realm of the Hindu tradition. One of the main reasons that Kubera is not regarded as being a prominent deity is due, in part, to the lack of images and monuments dedicated to him. When he is depicted in images, which mostly come from the Himalayan regions, Kubera has a large potbelly and he holds a mongoose that vomits jewels when he squeezes it. Another way he is depicted is as the guardian of the north and is portrayed as a dwarfish figure with a large paunch, holding a money bag or a pomegranate. He is also sometimes depicted riding on a man, which makes him unique in relation to other gods, who usually are mounted on animals. Kubera is a lokapala or “world guardian”, deities who are usually illustrated as being mounted on animals such as elephants, whereas Kubera is described as being a naravahana or “one whose mount is a man”. Although Kubera is regarded as a god in Hindu mythology, he is also often depicted as a demon. The classification of Kubera being a demon, therefore, cause some discrepancies in his physical appearance, with some illustrations of him depicting a more hideous, monster-type figure. In these portrayals, Kubera is described as being a pot-bellied, three-legged, one-eyed dwarf with eight snaggle teeth. He is also often illustrated as having ugly, black skin, again with a potbelly and is heavily jeweled, sits cross-legged, and holds a purse. Despite these unsightlier physical attributes associated with the demonic side of Kubera, many depictions of him offer a gentler, appealing visual of the god, illustrating him with gold-colored skin and studded with gems, a visual representation of his role as the lord of wealth and prosperity.

Kubera’s lineage can be a bit confusing, as different sources and literature state different familial lines. In the Artharvaveda, Kubera is said to be the son of Vaisravana. In the Mahabharata, he is the son of Vaisravana and Idavida, and brother of Visravas; this is further complicated by the Puranas, which states that Kubera was born to Visravas and Ilibila (Williams 190). He also has a half-brother named Ravana, who is the notable demon in the Ramayana. Kubera also has a wife, named Hariti and a daughter named Minaksi, who becomes one of Siva’s wives. He also had a son, named Nalakubera. In addition to his family, Kubera had a few close companions. Kubera is usually accompanied by two friends named Yaksa and Yaksi. He is also associated socially with Charvi, Danava, and Rambha. According to most accounts, Kubera is said to reside in a palace in the country of Sri Lanka. However, Kubera does not live there permanently, as he is driven out of his palace and the country by his power-hungry half-brother Ravana. The relationship that Kubera and Ravana have with one another does not prove to be very hospitable and cooperative, as they are often depicted in feuds with each other. This hostile relationship ultimately causes Kubera to relocate to a residence on Mount Kailasa, which is also home to other deities, such as Siva.

Kubera is most notably known as being the lord of riches and wealth, which includes the resources and elements that are contained within the earth. As the ruling god of wealth and riches, Kubera is responsible for possessing and distributing the wealth, as well as guarding the earth’s treasures. He is granted the power to move the earth’s riches from one place to another, and he often brought gems and precious metals near the surface during the rule of righteous kings and hid them during times of wickedness. Kubera exercises this power over the elements when he sides with Rama in the war between Rama and Ravana, Kubera’s half-brother. Kubera decides to align himself with Rama, rather than be loyal to his brother because Ravana dethrones and exiles Kubera from his palace in Sri Lanka. Ravana does this in order to try and win himself a queen and kidnaps Rama’s wife, Sita, causing there to be a war between the two men. Rama wages war on Ravana for the actions taken against Sita, and by the end of the feud, Rama is victorious. Kubera, who remained loyal to Rama throughout the feud, is granted the responsibility of being the shepherd of all the precious stones in the world, as a reward for his assistance in the war against Ravana. Kubera was, therefore, allowed to dictate over these stones and control their movements, which meant he could determine who had access to them.

Among other roles and responsibilities that Kubera was attributed to as being the leader of the yaksas, creatures who dwell in the woods and forests and promote the growth of plants. It is understandable that Kubera would be well acquainted with the yaksas as they both have roles associated with prosperity, with the yaksas encouraging the growth of plans and Kubera being a symbol of richness. The yaksas are depicted as being sharp and cunning, with a benevolent earthly temperament, which Kubera is depicted as embodying. Kubera exudes this temperament most notably through his physical appearance, which includes a potbelly, a common Asian motif for good luck, and more importantly, abundance. However, the yaksas also articulate a notion of ethical ambivalence, suggesting that they also possess a more corrupt, evil side. This can be associated with Kubera’s more unethical approaches that cause him to not only be classified as a god but as a demon as well.
Within Hindu mythology, Kubera is depicted as being a rather unforgiving god. In one particular myth in the Padma Purana, Kubera is portrayed as being a devotionalist, who had an abundantly beautiful garden that contained flowers that are utilized in daily temple worship. Kubera had a hired gardener named Hemamali, who tended to the flowers every day. One day, Hemamali took a trip to Manasasaras, the lake of the gods, and forgot that it was his duty to get the flowers to Kubera for worship. Kubera waited all day at the temple for Hemamali, but he did not show up, which caused Kubera to become very angry. Hemamali was summoned to Kubera’s palace, where he was punished for his absence by being cursed as a leper. To make things even worse, Hemamali was expelled from Kubera’s heaven, Alakapuri. This story illustrates some of Kubera’s less desirable personality traits, as he can be viewed as being an unforgiving and strict ruler. This can further demonstrate how he was often categorized as being a demon throughout different stories in Hindu mythology, as he could be a menacing and merciless god. However, Kubera has a benevolent and softer side to him as well that is revealed through his more noble actions. Through his protective guardianship and distribution of the earth’s secret resources, he is seen as a paternal, manipulatable figure. He is also regarded as withholding the title of lokapalas, meaning he is a world guardian, as well as being a dikpalas, a guardian of the directions.
It is quite apparent that the Hindu god of wealth possesses many different traits and abilities. Kubera can be described as being a noble god, who possesses and distributes wealth and riches, protecting it from the less desirable, corrupt peoples of the world. However, he is regarded as having a more temperamental side showcasing a strict and menacing personality, which sometimes causes him to be depicted as a demon. Because of these dichotomies, it is difficult to fully comprehend what Kubera looked like physically, as he is depicted in many different forms. It is also unclear as to what his familial lineage looks like completely. Despite these discrepancies, it is clear that Kubera was an important god in Hindu mythology.

 

 

Lord Kuber

Lord Kuber’s Amazing Story
The treasure is guarded by the infamous Kubera. Despite attempting to seize his temple, Lord Shiva bestowed upon him the superiority of being known as the “God of Wealth.” We’re all aware that people worship Lord Kubera and Goddess Lakshmi, and that this is considered auspicious.

Lakshmi is often misunderstood as the “Goddess of Wealth” in Indian mythology. On the other side, “Kuber” is really the God of Wealth, whereas Lakshmi is the “Goddess of Fortune.” Because fortune is often connected with money, scepticism has grown.

Here is a fascinating tale of rags to riches (if we may call it that) or robber to demi-god.

 

Story Of Lord Kuber
Shiva Puran says, a poor man named Gunnidhi lived millions of years ago. He couldn’t even buy himself food because he didn’t have any money. He would starve himself to sleep on days and rely on thievery on others.

He broke into a Shiva temple one night with the intention of stealing some food. However, he was perplexed by the abundance of costly gems, money, and other important items. He had a glint in his eyes and shivers down his spine all of a sudden. The diyas within the temple, however, went off like in a Bollywood film, and darkness descended in the blink of an eye. Gunnidhi attempted several times to ignite the Diya for light, but the wind always blew it away.

For a time, this went on. Finally, he removed his shirt and set fire to it, allowing him to escape. Lord Shiva admired his constancy and the fact that he revealed the truth in the midst of darkness. Hence, he blessed him to be the God of Wealth in his future life, demonstrating to us how readily Lord Shiva is delighted by his followers.

 

All About Lord Kubera
Kubera is sometimes portrayed as a dwarf with lotus-leaf complexion and large belly. He has three legs, just eight fangs, one eye, and is encrusted with diamonds, according to legend. On sometimes, he is portrayed riding a guy. Deformities like as broken teeth, three legs, three heads, and four limbs are only mentioned in later Puranic literature. In his hand, Kubera wields mace, a pomegranate, or a money bag. He may also be accompanied by a sheaf of diamonds or a mongoose. The mongoose is revered in Tibet as a sign of Kubera’s victory against the wealth guards, the Ngas. In Buddhist imagery, Kubera is frequently portrayed with a mongoose.

Lord Kubera was a descendant of Lord Brahma’s family in his next life. He was the son of Vishrava and Illavida when he was born. Vishrava also had four offspring with the demon princess Kaikesi: Ravana, Kumbhkarna, Vibhishana, and Surpanakha. According to legend, he was born in Sri Lanka, but his palace was taken from him by his half-brother, Ravana. Kubera’s magical vehicle, Pushpaka Viman, was also taken away by him, and he was exiled from Lanka.

Lord Kubera is reported to have practised penance for thousands of years. Hence, the blessing from his previous life came into force, bestowing immortality on him and transforming him into the god of wealth and protector of all Earth’s possessions.

In Hinduism, Lord Kuber is regarded as the deity of prosperity, and the Laughing Buddha is said to bring fortunate energy, money, and joyous benefits if put any place in the house, according to Feng Shui. To learn more about Feng Shui techniques for attracting prosperity and peace, go here.

Peace, prosperity, and ideal circumstances to create riches are the primary benefits of chanting or reciting Kuber Chalisa. Lord Kuber is mentioned in the Chalisa as one of the Dikpals protecting the northern direction and King Indra’s doorway to Swarga (heaven).He is known as the lord of anna (food), water, and other necessities, as well as the governing deity of money as the treasurer. Kubera is the chief among Yakshas, serving his spiritual master, Lord Shiva, much as Parasurama is the chief among Rishis, Hanuman among the gods, and Bhima among humans. According to the Chalisa, anybody who meditates on Kubera with resolve comes out triumphant, has all of his blocked labour or duties untied, and never runs out of food grains.
