Guest guest Posted October 19, 2005 Report Share Posted October 19, 2005 As Divali approaches (November 1st this year), I am contemplating my sadhana for this Feast of Lights. I'm drawn to the deity Kubera, Treasurer of the Devas, best friend of Mahadeva Shiva, and companion to Lakshmi during the Chaturmasi (four months) from Monsoon season through Divali, when Vishnu is asleep. Some call him Lakshmi's brother, others say he's her ex-husband who still helps her during the period of the year that she is without Vishnu. Kubera is especially fond of gemstones, his mongoose spits up precious gems. Lakshmi is fond of flowers and dried fruits, which are exchanged on this holiday. I am learning to use precious and semi-precious stones for healing, which sounds like Kubera and Lakshmi's bailywick. There is a Lakshmi-Kubera Puja that is traditionally practised during Divali. Could Shree Maa and Swamiji give us some hints on how to attune to Kubera and Lakshmi during this upcoming festival? -- Len/ Kalipadma Mail - PC Magazine Editors' Choice 2005 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
