3 Most Popular Lord Kuber Legends
The myths about Lord Kuber are numerous. But the three tales that most astrologers consider true are. Look at that!
Legend of Kuber and Lord Shiva
Kuber was thought to have been a devout follower of Lord Shiva. Shiva, who was moved by his devotion, appointed him the protector of all the riches and gold on Earth. As time went by, Kuber grew avaricious. Instead of protecting the money, he began to use it for his own gain. Lord Shiva was angered and dispatched his Son, Lord Ganesha, to correct Kuber.
In the feast that Kuber had planned for all the gods, Lord Ganesha arrived at Kuber’s home and made a request for food. Kuber tried to sate Ganesha’s hunger by preparing all he had at home, but he was unable. Lord Ganesha attempted to consume Kuber when there was nothing left to eat. Kuber then pleaded for Lord Shiva’s assistance. When Lord Shiva appeared, he gave him a lesson about never abusing one’s authority.
Lord Kuber is said to have been watching over the wealth and gold on Earth ever since Lord Shiva opened his eyes.
Legend of Lord Kuber and the Ravans
Popular Hindu legends claim that Kubera was Lanka’s legitimate ruler and was Ravana’s stepbrother. He had used gold to construct the entire city. Ravana won the favour of Lord Brahma, and with his support, grew to such great strength that he drove King Kuber from Lanka.
Kubera relocated near to Kailash after being driven from his home city and leaving everything behind. He began to worship Lord Shiva and eventually converted to his genuine faith. Although Kuber was a Rakshas, Shiva was delighted with him and appointed him keeper of all the gold on the entire planet, not only in Lanka.
King Kuber from the Mahabharata
Lord Kuber is referred to as the Lord of Gold and riches in several verses and texts of the revered Hindu epic known as the Mahabharata. The majority of pictures of Lord Kuber show him as a dwarf with an enormous belly and a pink complexion like lotus petals.
Lord Kuber and Goddess Lakshmi are revered together (the Hindu goddess of wealth and money).
