Spiritual/Mythological shades of Venus or Shukra
The brightest
celestial body of the sky is known as the potent
sage Shukra who is known as the healer of death
for his possession of divine power of
immortality.
As in the words of
Hindu Mythologies, Shukra is the son of sage
Bhrigu who being wise and acquirer of all
wisdom, taught his son all of spiritual and
vedic sciences and studies. Later, on account of
his enmity with Brahaspati that is Jupiter,
Shukra went towards demons and evil beings to
teach them immorality and way to win over the
gods and pure souls of heaven. He is vividly
known as the “Guru of Asuras” while his image
Venus is known as the “mantra of immortality”.
Mythological
Story or katha of Venus or Shukra
Sukra has a
beautiful daughter Devayani (way to the gods),
and she is quite taken with Kaca. Now, the
Asuras know what Kaca is up to, so like all good
demons they kill him. Devayani, of course,
grieves for him and tells father, so Sukra
repeats the mantra and Kaca comes back to life.
Then the demons kill Kaca again. Once again
Devayani complains, and once again Sukra repeats
the mantra and Kaca come back to life.
Undeterred, the demons go about killing Kaca and
Sukra keeps resurrecting him. So the demons get
a particularly demonic idea and this time they
kill Kaca and grind him up into a fine powder
and put him in Sukra's wine. Sukra drinks the
wine, Devayani begins her grieving, and in
response Sukra repeats the mantra, but this time
he has a stomachache as Kaca speaks from inside
him. At last the demons appear to be happy.
But, they ironically bring about the very thing
they were trying to prevent, for Sukra reveals
the mantra of immortality to Kaca, so when Kaca
tears himself out of Sukra's body he will repeat
the mantra and raise Sukra from the dead. This
myth explains why all Brahmins committed to
spiritual life are not allowed to drink wine,
and one of the epithets of Venus is: the one who
"produces stomach problems".
