    Shukra (Venus)

    Read also "Kach and Devayaanee"

    The Pandit of Shukra (Venus) was expected to be refined,


    sophisticated, and sociable. So he was - accommodating, friendly and
    loving. He started telling about his chosen planet - "Brihaspati is a
    very powerful planet, nobody can challenge this, but Shukra has
    some other quality which even Brihaspati does not possess." People
    looked at him with a questionable look. "That is Sanjeevanee Vidyaa
    (the knowledge of raising people from dead). That makes him superior
    to Brihaspati, and that is why he is the mightiest among all the
    planets. He is the Guru (teacher) of Asur. They are very obedient to
    him because he can revive them whenever they die. In fact his
    capabilities cannot be described in full. By worshipping Shukra one
    can save himself from all kinds of worries and diseases, because he
    can finish the negative Karm. He is a true Braahman and is very
    learned. Those who worship him can get all their desires fulfilled.
    Those who observe his night-vow for one year become happy, strong,
    get children and good fortune and go to Shukra's Lok after death.

    He is very handsome, sensuous and is snow-like complexioned. He is


    very fond of juicy things and music. His metal is silver, and his gem
    is diamond. Although Shukra himself has one eye [read the story of
    Bali], but he is the significator of eye in the chart. Whose Shukra is
    good in his chart, he is supposed to have good beautiful eyes.

    He is the Lord of semen (Shukra in Hindi) and ova, South-east


    direction, Friday, and of Tulaa (Libra) and Vrishabh (Taurus)
    constellations. He is known by the names like Ushanaa and Kavi too.
    His name means "white" and "semen". He is the son of Rishi Bhrigu -
    one of the 10 Maanas Putra of Brahmaa [6] and his wife Pulomaa.
    Bhrigu was born directly from Brahmaa's semen like Rishi Angiraa.
    This means that Shukraachaarya and Brihaspati are first cousins.

    Shukra is Shiv's Son Too

    Once Bhrigu was doing severe Tap on Mandaraachal mountain and


    Shukra who was then merely a boy, was looking after his father's
    needs. One day when Bhrigu was busy in his Tap, Shukra was just
    looking up to the sky and was appreciating its beauty, that he saw
    Vishwaachee Apsaraa in the sky. Seeing her beauty he just sat there
    looking at her without blinking his eyes. To distract his attention
    from her he thought about Indra where he was welcomed warmly.
    But there also he saw many beautiful Apsaraa. Vishwaachee Apsaraa
    was also there, she got attracted to him, so Shukra built a hut to
    fulfill his desire in a corner of Heaven. Then he covered it with
    darkness. They both lived there making love with each other for eight
    Chatur-Yug period. After this Shukra's good Karm got used up and
    he fell down on the Moon. Then his soul reached the Earth through
    rains which fell on a rice paddy. A Braahman ate that rice and
    through his semen he reached in his wife's womb. Shukra was born
    in that Braahman's family.

    As a Braahman's son, he did Tap for one Manvantar (71+ Chatur-


    Yug), but by chance he again came across with Vishwaachee Apsaraa
    who had been cursed to live as a female deer. He fell in love with that
    female deer, mated her and produced a son who did not allow him to
    meditate. That Braahman's son who was Shukra, died by a snake
    bite and then was reborn as the King of Madra kingdom and ruled for
    many years. After that he was born many times, bamboo forest,
    python, until he was born to a Rishi on the banks of Gangaa River.
    His original body had dropped on Earth long time ago and was
    exposed to wind, rain and sun, but the power of Bhrigu's Tap kept it
    preserved from being decayed.

    After 1,000 Divine years of Tap, when Bhrigu opened his eyes, he did
    not find his son living but only his worn out body nearby. Small birds
    nested in the wrinkles of his skin, frogs have started living in the
    hollow of his stomach. Seeing all this Bhrigu thought that his son
    had died premature death, so he became very angry and was about to
    give Shaap to Yam Raaj, that Yam appeared before him and said -
    "Don't waste your Tap to give me Shaap. All creatures are my food,
    but your son has reached this condition by his own Karm." He
    further said - "See, he is doing Tap on the banks of Gangaa River."
    Yam then revived Shukra's old body and the boy worshipped his
    father. Bhrigu then told him about his past lives and showed the road
    to spiritual success.
    Shukra Becomes Shiv's Son

    Shukra worshipped Shiv for 5,000 years but with no favorable


    results. Then he decided to live on smoke alone for 1,000 years more.
    Then Shiv appeared before him and blessed him that he would
    eventually become his son. He also taught him Sanjeevanee Vidyaa
    which is known only to Shiv, Paarvatee, his wife and his two sons -
    Kaartikeya and Ganesh. He further said - "You will be the best planet
    in the sky and as you will rise there, all auspicious rituals will follow
    you." That is why marriages etc all auspicious ceremonies are
    performed only when Shukra is rising in the sky. Shukra has several
    wives and children. Thus Shukra became Shiv's son.

    Once Paaravtee Jee covered Shiv's eyes in a playful mood. Paarvatee's


    this action plunged the whole Universe into darkness. So she
    removed er hands from his eyes in hurry. The whole cosmos was
    lighted and Paarvatee Jee saw a young boy before her. She asked
    Shiv Jee - "When this boy came here?" Shiv Jee said laughingly -
    "You created him by creating darkness. So he is your son. Since he is
    born in darkness, his name will be "Andhak"." But Paarvatee Jee
    refused to accept him as her son, so Shiv Jee gave him to
    Hiranyakashyap to bring him up as his adopted son.

    Andhak soon grew up into a terrible Asur and started troubling


    Devtaa. Once he got defeated by Devtaa, so he took shelter with his
    Guru Shukraachaarya Jee and Gueru Shukraachaarya Jee
    acknowledged him as his own son. Shiv Jee got furious at this and he
    captured Shukraachaarya Jee and swallowed him. This made Asur
    lost in Dev-Asur war. Shukraachaarya Jee remained wandering
    inside Shiv's body for 100 Divine years. There he saw all types
    planets, seas, universes, Devtaa, even the war which was going on
    that time. He could not find any way to come out of his body, so he
    entered Shiv's penis and worshipped him immediately. Shiv Jee got
    very impressed with his action, named him "Shukra" and
    acknowledged him as his son.

    This is Shukra, the son of Shiv Jee, and I bow to him." After saying
    this that Pandit became silent and sat down.
