Stories About Lord Kubera: The Hindu God Of Money
Kubera is the King of Yakshas. Yakshas are unattractive and have gnome-like features. They are often depicted as stout creatures with pot-bellies.
Lord Kubera is one of the many Gods of the Hindu Pantheon who is still revered by many as the god of wealth and the treasurer of the gods. It is a very common misconception that Goddess Lakshmi is the deity of wealth. Technically, she is the goddess of good fortune, and has the power to bestow her devotees with wealth. To have a life free of financial crisis, you must worship Lord Kubera along with Goddess Lakshmi.

Kubera
is
the
King
of
Yakshas.
Yakshas
are
unattractive
and
have
gnome-like
features.
They
are
often
depicted
as
stout
creatures
with
pot-bellies.
Kubera's
complexion
is
described
as
similar
to
that
of
a
lotus
flower.
He
possesses
three
legs
and
his
teeth
are
only
eight
in
number.
His
left
eye
is
discoloured
and
looks
yellow.
He carries a pot of gold coins in one of his hands and is decked with jewellery. His other hand shows him holding a pomegranate, a mace and sometimes a money bag.
Lord Kubera is also often seen holding a mongoose in his hand. The mongoose is often made of gold and it spits precious gems when it opens its mouth.
He rides the Pushpaka Vimana. It was gifted to him by none other than Lord Brahma. It was later stolen by his half-brother, Ravana.

Lord
Kubera
and
Lord
Shiva
The
Yakshas
as
a
whole
are
thought
to
have
a
good
relation
with
the
Shiva
Ganas.
This
might
be
due
to
the
fact
that
Lord
Shiva
and
his
Ganas
do
not
look
down
upon
these
hideous
looking
beings.
Lord
Kubera,
the
King
of
Yakshas,
is
thought
to
be
very
close
to
Lord
Shiva.
It
is
said
that
it
is
easier
to
please
Lord
Kubera
if
he
is
worshipped
along
with
Lord
Shiva,
and
vice-versa.
Lord
Kubera
and
Goddess
Lakshmi
The
legends
of
the
goddess
of
fortune
and
the
god
of
wealth
are
always
intertwined.
One
story
says
that
Lord
Varun,
or
the
god
of
the
seas,
is
a
form
of
Lord
Kubera.
As
Goddess
Lakshmi
was
born
out
of
the
seas,
it
is
thought
that
Lord
Kubera
is
the
father
of
Goddess
Lakshmi.
In
another
version,
Nidhi
(the
goddess
of
accumulation
of
wealth)
and
Riddhi
(the
goddess
of
growth
of
wealth)
are
the
wives
of
Kubera.
They
are
thought
to
be
the
forms
of
Goddess
Lakshmi.
No matter which version you believe, it is undeniable that you will find prosperity by being devoted to these two deities.

Lord
Kubera
and
Lord
Venkatesha
The
wealth
of
Lord
Kubera
has
no
bounds.
He
is
said
to
be
so
rich
that
he
is
the
only
god
who
can
ride
a
man;
hence,
is
called
'Naravahana'.
Lord Kubera is so rich that the Lord of Tirupati, Lord Venkatesha, borrowed money from him. Lord Venkatesha vowed to repay the loan with the money he received as offerings from his devotees. So, offerings to Lord Venkatesha ultimately reach Lord Kubera. Devotion to Lord Venkatesha will also bring you wealth.
Festivals and Poojas dedicated to Lord Kubera.
- Dhanteras- Dhantrayodashi or Dhanteras is the festival dedicated to Lord Kubera. This is an auspicious day to perform poojas for Lord Kubera and Goddess Lakshmi. It is a good day to buy gold too.
- Sharad Poornima- Sharad Poornima marks the birthday of Lord Kubera. Worshipping him on this day pleases Lord Kubera immensely.
- Trayodashi and Poornima days are the other days that are set aside for the worship of Lord Kubera.
