Lord Kuber's Amazing Story
The treasure is guarded by the infamous Kubera. Despite attempting to seize his temple, Lord Shiva bestowed upon him the superiority of being known as the "God of Wealth." We're all aware that people worship Lord Kubera and Goddess Lakshmi, and that this is considered auspicious.
Lakshmi is often misunderstood as the "Goddess of Wealth" in Indian mythology. On the other side, "Kuber" is really the God of Wealth, whereas Lakshmi is the "Goddess of Fortune." Because fortune is often connected with money, scepticism has grown.
Here is a fascinating tale of rags to riches (if we may call it that) or robber to demi-god.
Story Of Lord Kuber
Shiva Puran says, a poor man named Gunnidhi lived millions of years ago. He couldn't even buy himself food because he didn't have any money. He would starve himself to sleep on days and rely on thievery on others.
He broke into a Shiva temple one night with the intention of stealing some food. However, he was perplexed by the abundance of costly gems, money, and other important items. He had a glint in his eyes and shivers down his spine all of a sudden. The diyas within the temple, however, went off like in a Bollywood film, and darkness descended in the blink of an eye. Gunnidhi attempted several times to ignite the Diya for light, but the wind always blew it away.
For a time, this went on. Finally, he removed his shirt and set fire to it, allowing him to escape. Lord Shiva admired his constancy and the fact that he revealed the truth in the midst of darkness. Hence, he blessed him to be the God of Wealth in his future life, demonstrating to us how readily Lord Shiva is delighted by his followers.
