यक्ष कुबेर जी की आरती,
जो कोई नर गावे,
स्वामी जो कोई नर गावे।
कहत प्रेमपाल स्वामी,
मनवांछित फल पावे॥
॥ ॐ जय यक्ष कुबेर हरे…॥

Who is Kuber
According to the Puranas, Kuber is the son of sage Vishrava and the half-brother of Ravana. He pleased Lord Shiva with severe penance, and Brahma made him lord of wealth and guardian of the north. His city Alakapuri is said to lie near Kailash. Lakshmi gives wealth and Kuber guards it — which is why both are worshipped together on Diwali. Kuber mantra: Om Yakshaya Kuberaya Vaishravanaya Dhanadhanyadhipataye Dhanadhanyasamriddhim Me Dehi Dapaya Svaha.
