Description

Performing a Lakshmi Kubera Puja and Homam involves seeking the blessings of Goddess Lakshmi (the deity of wealth and prosperity) and Lord Kubera (the celestial treasurer) for financial well-being and abundance. Here's a more detailed step-by-step guide for conducting a Lakshmi Kubera Puja and Homam: 1. Preliminary Preparations: Choose an auspicious date and time for the Puja. Consult with a priest or use an auspicious Hindu calendar for guidance. Cleanse the Puja area or home where the rituals will take place. Gather all necessary items for the Puja, including idols or images of Goddess Lakshmi and Lord Kubera, flowers, fruits, turmeric, kumkum, sandalwood paste, incense sticks, lamps, camphor, ghee, and food offerings. 2. Ganesh Puja: Begin the Puja by invoking Lord Ganesha. Offer prayers and seek his blessings to remove obstacles and ensure a successful ritual. 3. Kalasha Sthapana: Establish a Kalasha (sacred pot) filled with water, betel leaves, betel nuts, flowers, and a coconut. Place the Kalasha at the Puja altar, symbolizing the presence of deities. 4. Invoking Lakshmi and Kubera: Place the idols or images of Goddess Lakshmi and Lord Kubera on the Puja altar. Perform a symbolic bath (Abhishekam) of the deities using water, milk, curd, honey, and ghee. Offer turmeric, kumkum, sandalwood paste, and flowers to the deities. 5. Offering Prayers and Mantras: Recite prayers and mantras dedicated to Goddess Lakshmi and Lord Kubera. Some common mantras include the Lakshmi Gayatri mantra and the Kubera mantra. Consult with a priest for the specific mantras suitable for the Puja. 6. Lakshmi Kubera Homam: Conduct the Homam (fire ritual) with the assistance of a qualified priest. Offer ghee, grains, and specific items into the sacred fire while chanting mantras dedicated to Lakshmi and Kubera. Seek the blessings of both deities for prosperity, wealth, and success in endeavors.
