Lakshmi Kubera Homa
What is Lakshmi Kubera Homa?
Deity: Goddess Mahalakshmi and Lord Kubera, guardian of wealth
Hindu tradition distinguishes the source of wealth from its guardian. Mahalakshmi is Shri — grace, beauty and abundance in every form. Kubera, lord of the yakshas, is the treasurer of the gods who protects and distributes wealth. Worshipping them together asks for prosperity that is both earned and preserved.
The homa centres on the Sri Suktam, a hymn to Lakshmi in the appendix (khila) of the Rig Veda, and the Kubera mantra. Lotus seeds (kamal gatta) and lotus flowers are traditional offerings.
