Lord Kubera
About Lord Kubera
Lord Kubera is honoured as the god of wealth, the keeper of divine treasures, and the gentle protector of prosperity. In every Hindu home and business, his name is called upon to bless new journeys, safeguard earnings, and ensure the honest flow of abundance. Kubera is pictured as a kindly, plump figure, often seated or standing with a pot of gold, a money bag, and finely jeweled clothes. He is the regent of the north and the king of the yakshas—semi-divine beings known for guarding riches. Kubera is not just the treasurer for the gods but also a symbol of ethical wealth—earned with integrity, shared with others, and never hoarded out of greed. In daily worship, families light a lamp, place coins or rice before his image, and pray for both material security and mindful stewardship. His blessings bring not just more riches, but peace, generosity, and the quiet happiness of having enough to give.
Mantra of Lord Kubera
Early in the morning, when business ledgers are opened or new doors are unlocked, a special Kubera *mantra* is softly chanted: 'Om Yakshaya Kuberaya Vaishravanaya Dhanadhanyadhipataye Dhanadhanyasamriddhim Me Dehi Dapaya Swaha.' This powerful prayer calls to Lord Kubera as the bestower of riches and asks for flourishing wealth, success, and security. Devotees chant it daily, especially during Lakshmi puja, Diwali, or any time when new work begins. The *mantra* is recited with a humble heart—not just for making money, but also for becoming worthy stewards of gifts received. Children are taught to repeat it before exams or when they need clarity and focus. In shops and offices, the sound of this *mantra* at opening is a tradition—inviting luck, focusing intention, and reminding all that wealth comes with responsibilities. Its purpose is peace of mind, the ability to help others, and the calm assurance that with Kubera’s grace, there is always enough for one’s needs.
