Legends of Lord Kuber :
Vishnu had to get married again to Laxmi who had been banished to earth by a curse in a complicated story. Since Laxmi, Good Fortune had been away in exile for a while Vishnu was broke! Vishnu had to borrow money from Kuvera to meet the marriage expenses and has entered into a bond to pay interest on the loan till the crack of Doomsday! At the famous Tirupati Balaji temple in India pilgrims are assured that their donations go to working off the Lord’s loan and is therefore spiritually meritorious. This financial piety has made the temple into a billion dollar enterprise, an unusual indication of the prosperity that flows from association with Kubera.
