*Jambhala is the God of Fortune and Wealth and appropriately a member of the Jewel Family. He is sometimes equated with the Hindu deity Kubera. Jambhala is also believed to be an emanation of Avalokitesvara or Chenrezig, the Bodhisattva of Compassion. There are five different wealth Jambhalas (Green, White, Yellow, Black, and Red Jambhala), they are the manifestations of the compassion of Buddhas and Bodhisattvas to guide sentient beings along the path to enlightenment. Each Jambhala has his own practice and mantra to help eliminate poverty and create financial stability. The Yellow Jambhala is considered the most popular and powerful of the Wealth Gods. He can remove poverty within the six realms, increasing virtues, life span and wisdom. Yellow Jambhala has yellow colored body, he sits in the vajra position with his left hand holding a mongoose named Nehulay which spews forth precious jewels from its mouth, while his right hand holding gems shaped fruit. less
