Manifest Money with This Kubera Mantra

This mantra can open up new opportunities for you to earn or acquire wealth more easily, and reduce losses allowing you to keep more of the money you earn. The Bhagavad Gita chapter 17 text 4 states “yakṣa-rakṣāṁsi rājasāḥ” meaning “those who are in the mode of passion (rajo guna) worship yakshas and rakshasas”. Since the nature of Kubera sadhana is more rajasic, the results can come a little bit more quickly and materialistically than sadhana of Lakshmi which is more purely sattvic in nature.
