If your answer is ‘Yes’ to the above questions, do not worry. There is a powerful remedy for all these problems – the Lakshmi Kubera Pooja.
What Is Lakshmi Kubera Pooja?
Lakshmi Kubera Pooja is a ritual that is performed by Hindus mainly to gain wealth. The Pooja aims to please Goddess Lakshmi, who is the Hindu goddess of prosperity, wealth, wisdom, luck, and fertility, and also Lord Kubera, the treasurer of the gods.
Kubera is a Yaksha king and also the god of wealth in the Hindu pantheon. He is the son of Visrava and the grandson of Brahma or Dhanpati (Lord of riches). He is also the trustee of all food grains. While Lakshmi creates wealth, it is Kubera who is believed to distribute it. By performing this Pooja, one can gain the blessings of both deities. Worshipping Lakshmi and Kubera together brings the desired results, as Kubera is dear to the goddess.
During the Homam, the Mantras of Lakshmi and Kubera are recited to invoke their blessings. Lotus flowers are also offered in the sacrificial fire.
The Story Of Lakshmi Kubera
Kubera is quite plump to the point of being obese. Besides, he had many deformities. Hence, the other gods used to make fun of him. Saddened and upset by their mocking words, he performed severe penance to appease Shiva and get a boon from him. Shiva was pleased and made him the god of wealth.
After this, everyone began to respect him. Also, he began to be honored along with Goddess Lakshmi as the god of wealth and prosperity. While Lakshmi represents wealth and money, Kubera is the caretaker of the wealth. Hence, people worship these two deities together for wealth blessings.
Why Perform Lakshmi Kubera Pooja?
Lakshmi Kubera Pooja is believed to increase your sources of income and remove obstacles to wealth accumulation. The combined powers of the deities work to eliminate the impediments that prevent you from acquiring material possessions. It can bring about a remarkable change in your fortunes.

How to Perform Lakshmi Kubera Pooja?
If you are doing the Pooja at home, keep the Kubera idol towards the north. In the Himalayas, where Kubera supposedly resides, his abode faces the south direction.
