“Men are from Mars & Woman are from Venus”.
This quote has a deep connection with astrology. The match making of a couple is highly dependent on the correlation of these 2 planets. But we will keep it for another day.
Today let’s talk about Venus, the brightest planet that can be spotted even with naked eyes is the bestower of beauty, luxury & love. But Venus is not just limited to this.
The story of Shukracharya receiving Sanjeevani Vidya is found in Chapter 16 of the Kāśīkhaṇḍa of the Skanda Purāṇa.
Did you how the Asur Guru Shukracharya received the Sanjeevani Vidya actually dates back to the story of Samudra Manthan?
Once Rishi Durvasa went into the kingdom of Indra and gave him a flower which he brought from Narayana. Indra immediately passed it to his servant as if it had no value for him. The servant carelessly dropped and put feet over it. Due to the arrogance and selfishness of Indra, Rishi Durvasa cursed him and all the three worlds to get devoid of wealth and prosperity. Lakshmi went deep into the ocean. Deities were helpless and weak. It was the need of hour to bring back Devi Lakshmi.
Deities met with the demon king Bali and decided to organize a Samudra Manthan. Mandhaar Parvat was used as roller and #Sheshnag as rope. Deities and Demons started rolling but sea wasn’t able to handle the weight of mountain.
Narayana took the form of tortoise and hold the mountain on his back.
From the sea a variety of items, jewels, nymphs, demigods, divine animals and weapons came out. Most of them were distributed among deities.
Along with all these items, Nectar and Poison came out too. Lord Shiva drank the poison and hold it in His neck. His neck turned blue and that’s why He is known as #NeelKanth.
For the nectar, both deities and demons started fighting. Narayana took Mohini form and asked both communities to line up and get nectar in series.
She started offering nectar to deities first. A demon, Rahu, thought that nectar will finish till it’ll reach demons, so he disguised into a deity and mixed with them. He drank the nectar and got caught by Sun and Moon.
Narayana cut his head with Sudarshan but he didn’t die. His head became Rahu and body became Ketu. Narayana stopped offering nectar to all.
Shukracharya was worried with the whole incident. He went to Shiva and asked for justice.
He said that deities cheated first by giving the head side of Sheshnag to demons during Samudra Manthan. Because of the fire from the head of snake, demons kept burning the whole time. Now deities got the nectar and demons not. That’s complete injustice. This way deities won’t let demons live in peace.
To make the balance in the world, Shiva offered Sanjeevani Vidhya to Shukracharya with which he could revive the dead demons.
So, deities couldn’t die because of nectar and demons could be revived because of Sanjeevani Vidhya.
My observation: Check the house Venus is present in your birthchart, you will see that the things related to that house are always revived. That house is blessed by Shukra or Planet Venus.
