Even as Nirmala Sitharaman, the union finance minister, and her team of experts are struggling to revive the Indian economy which went off the path of development due to factors like Covid-19 pandemic and the Ukraine-Russia war, trustees of a one-year old Kubera Temple has come forward to revitalize the global economy by holding a seven-day yagam in Kerala.
Come April 17, the Kubera Temple at Chalavara village in Kerala’s Palakkadu district spread across 10.5 acres would turn into a Yaga Bhoomi and a number of priests and scholars would hold a seven day Maha Kubera Yaagam to propitiate Lord Kubera, the god of wealth as per Indian scriptures.“The last time a Maha kubera Yagam was held in the country was 700 years ago. Since then it has not been held. Taking into account the current economic scenario of the world crippled by the pandemic and war, we felt it is the ideal time to hold this yaagam,” said Jithin Jayakrishnan, trustee of Kubera Temple at Chalavara.
He said more than a dozen priests from Kashmir to Kanyakumari would take part in the yaagam, which is being held under the supervision of Cherumukku Vallabhan Akhithirippadu, a lead priest.
“The theme of the yaaga is Discover Artha and Reinvent Life”, said Jayakrishna. He said that the Kubera Temple owned by the trust was a school of financial discipline and a place of worship. “The concept of this yaagam is vitta kaamo yajetaa which means uplifting a person , socially, economically but also charts out the best possible life for their family , village or nation as a whole,” said Jayakrishnan.
T P Jayakrishnan, Jithin’s father, is the master brain behind the Yaaga which is expected to cost Rs 10 crore. Attempts to speak to Jayakrishnan turned out to be a fiasco as he was either in pooja or research throughout the day, said Jithin.
“He has developed a branch of science known as Holistic Human Metaphysics and this certain to bring results,” said the son.Regarding the possibilities of devotees getting rich and wealthy by attending the Yaaga, all that vedic scholars say is Caveat Emptorium, the Latin maxim for “Customers Beware”.
