Lord Kubera- God of Wealth


Lord Kubera- God of Wealth 


Kubera (also Kuber) is the god of wealth and the lord of Uttaradisha (North Direction) in Hindu mythology. He is also known as Dhanapati, the lord of riches. He is one of the Guardians of the directions, representing the north according to Vastu Shastra Kubera is also the son of Sage Vishrava(Vaisravana), and in this respect, he is also the elder brother of the Lord of Lanka, Ravana. He is said to have performed austerities for a thousand years, in reward for which Brahma, the Creator, gave him immortality and made him the god of wealth, guardian of all the treasures of the earth, which he was to give out to whom they were destined. When Brahma appointed him God of Riches, he gave him Lanka (Ceylon) as his capital, and presented him, according to the Mahabharata, with the vehicle pushpaka, which was of immense size and ‘moved at the owner’s will at marvelous speed’. When Ravana captured Lanka, Kubera moved to his city of Alaska, in the Himalaya. 

Kubera also credited money to Venkateshwara or Vishnu for his marriage with Padmavati. Thats the reason devotees/people, when they go to Tirupati, donate money in Venkateshwara's Hundi so that he can pay back to Kubera. According to the Vishnupuran, this process will go on till the end of Kali-yuga
