Kuber Havan
Sacred Fire Ritual for Wealth Retention

Kuber Havan is a powerful Vedic fire ritual dedicated to Lord Kuber, the divine treasurer and god of wealth. While Goddess Lakshmi brings wealth, Lord Kuber ensures its retention and multiplication. This sacred ceremony invokes Kuber's blessings for attracting money, preventing losses, and ensuring lasting prosperity.

Lord Kuber - The Divine Treasurer

Lord Kuber is the king of Yakshas (nature spirits) and the treasurer of the gods. According to the Puranas, he is the son of sage Vishrava and half-brother of Ravana. After intense penance, Lord Brahma appointed him as the guardian of wealth and the ruler of the North direction.

Kuber resides in Alkapuri, a magnificent golden city in the Himalayas. He is depicted with a pot-belly (symbolizing abundance), holding a money bag or pot of gold, and sometimes riding a man (representing ego subdued by wealth consciousness).

Kuber's Divine Role

• Wealth Guardian: Protects and multiplies existing wealth
• Treasure Keeper: Manages divine and earthly treasures
• Prosperity Granter: Blesses devotees with lasting abundance
• Direction Lord: Rules North direction (wealth corner in Vastu)
• Lakshmi's Companion: Works with Goddess Lakshmi for complete prosperity

Difference Between Lakshmi and Kuber Worship

Understanding the distinction is crucial for complete prosperity:

• Lakshmi: Attracts new wealth, brings money flow, grants opportunities
• Kuber: Retains existing wealth, prevents losses, multiplies savings
• Together: Complete wealth cycle - attraction, retention, and multiplication

Many people earn well but can't save (weak Kuber). Others save but don't earn enough (weak Lakshmi). Worshipping both ensures balanced prosperity.
