Khubera Ashtotharam

Khubera Ashtotharam

Translated by
P.R.Ramachander

(Kubhera is the son of sage Visravas    and a  Yaksha lady called  Ilavidha . The same Visravas     through a Rakshasi became the father of Ravana, Kumbhakarna, Vibheeshana and Soorpanakha. Due to the powers earned by penance, Ravana snatches away Kubera’s capital Alakapuri, his plane Pushpaka Vimana and all his riches. These are  given to him back after   the killing of Ravana  by Rama. 
Kubera is the guardian of the northern direction and also the God of wealth  and is the owned  of Nava nidhis(The fabled nine treasures) . It seems  Lord Balaji of Thirupathi is supposed to have borrowed    money for his  marriage from Khubera and even today his    debt is being repaid to him by the devotees   on behalf of Balaji. In the north on the Deepavali day Kubhera is worshipped along with Goddess Lakshmi .
   For increase in our wealth we are   supposed to worship Kunhera using the Ashtotharam  , Chant  The Kubhera Manthra given by
     “ Om  Hreem Sreem Kubheraya   Ashta LKakshmi  Mama Gruhe   dhanam   pooraya pooraya  nama”
108 times and meditate  on Kubhera Gayatri
                 “Om Yaksha Raja vidmahe   Alakadheesaya   deemahe thanno Kubera prajodhayath.”)
