Lord Kubera is said to be in-charge of all wealth and prosperity. Hence it is naturally considered auspicious to appease Lord Kubera on Akshaya Tritiya. With the blessings of Lord Kubera, any business or investment you do on Akshaya Tritiya will turn into a flourishing success. The following is a simple ritual that is greatly powerful and can be performed by anyone to please Lord Kubera.
Light a lamp with the threads lying in the east-west direction. Now sit facing the east direction and take a bowl of sugar. Now place the lamp on a separate plate. Then take some sugar with the index finger,thumb and ring finger of your right hand . Now chant the following mantra :
Om shiva bakthaya kuberaya namah om dhana akarshaya akarshaya namah
ॐ शिवबक्थाया कुबेराय नमः ॐ धन आकर्शय आकर्शय नमः
Repeat this ritual until the bowl of sugar gets over. Then light some camphor and pray to Lord Kubera that this Akshaya Tritiya should be a wonderful beginning to a happy and prosperous life. Then take the sugar from the plate and use it to make some dessert, which can be given to family members as prasad.
It is believed that any charity / dhaana given on Akshaya Tritiya will atone for all sins and bring happiness for many births. So please think about your fellow brothers and sisters, and help them in whatever way possible.

ReplyDeleteOm...as mentioned in the above post, you have to try and make some sweet with the sugar and then you may distribute it amongst your family or amongst the poor...
