CHAPTER 2: WHAT IS MONEY IN THIS KALIYUGA? Money today is more than just coins or paper. Long ago, people exchanged goods like grains or cattle instead of money. As time passed, gold and silver became symbols of value because people trusted them. This trust led to the creation of coins and, eventually, the money systems we use today. Money is energy. It moves from one person to another, from one purpose to another. This ow keeps businesses, homes, and entire countries running. But in Kali Yuga, the age of materialism, people often misuse this energy due to greed and fear, making money seem hard to earn or keep.
Money moves based on our actions and intentions. When earned honestly and used wisely, it grows and helps many.
But when gathered sel shly or used wrongly, it fades away quickly, often bringing nancial troubles.
In this age, money controls our lives, shapes our relationships, and is often seen as the measure of success. People chase wealth not for basic needs but for status and power. This endless chase creates stress and unhappiness. Many people mix up what they need with what they want, leading to constant nancial struggles. Greed takes over, making people obsessed with wealth and blind to its true purpose. However, there is hope—Lord Kubera, the god of wealth. Kubera represents honest wealth and abundance. To connect with him, we must deserve wealth, not just desire it. Most nancial stress comes from thinking there is never enough. Kubera teaches that wealth is plentiful if we seek it with a pure heart and honest actions. Connecting with Kubera is not just about rituals; it is about changing our mindset. Wealth is not just about money but also about inner richness. To attract money, we must be honest, generous, and grateful. When we seek wealth for good reasons, Kubera blesses us. Kubera’s story teaches us this well. He was once a mortal king of the Yakshas, but his devotion and honesty made him the treasurer of the gods. His journey shows that true wealth comes to those who respect money, use it wisely, and help others.
