Shukracharya’s History of Hate & Illicit Relationship with Surpankha
Today we will know in brief that Shukracharya’s History of Hate & Illicit Relationship with Surpankha from ancient Hindu scriptures we learn that Daitya was born as the son of Sage Shukracharya but later on he became fiercely opposed to the gods and even identified himself as the Guru of the Daityas. But it was not like that from the beginning, his family his father and mother were very good with the gods that is what happened that later his life took a different turn. When Shukracharya was young his parents sent him to a guru for his education and another disciple of that guru was Brihaspati who later became the Guru of the gods. In terms of education, they were both very good students but for some reason Shukracharya felt that their teacher was giving more importance to Brihaspati than him so out of jealousy he could not tolerate Brihaspati and finally he went to another teacher. It was about Shukracharya’s childhood.
Although Shukracharya knew that if he introduced himself as an adviser to the Daityas, the Daityas would have to be made very powerful, though this was by no means possible in those days, as they were often defeated by the Devtas, i.e., the beasts and the gods, and were forced to submit to all conditions. Even if Shukracharya realized that the gods had to take what the gods were inflicting on them, if he obtained the Sanjeevani Vidya from Shiva, he would be able to make the medicine much stronger through him. Sanjivani vidya is the vidya which can revive a dead person and even today it is heard that many tantric uses this vidya to revive the dead. There are many such cases in the history of ancient India although these persons who know this knowledge of Sanjivani are very few nowadays and they usually do not come to the locality. So he completed his studies and started penance for Lord Shiva and once Lord Sri forced him to apply Sanjeevani Vidya with the help of which he became so powerful that he was saving many asuras who were being killed by the gods i.e. there came a time when the number of medicines was It started to increase and the amount of sin in the creation i.e. the world started to increase because we know that the medicine is the demonic power i.e. the evil power which carries the destruction so when their number increases then the existence of the world i.e. the creation is in crisis which was seen then. Along with this another thing started to happen that Shukracharya’s mother who was so kind i.e. whenever the demon came to take shelter, she would give shelter, and she would save the demons as she had some powers of her own so gods and goddess could not be defeat them. So, they all went to Lord Vishnu so that the mother of this Shukracharya would not give any help to these demons. Meanwhile, Lord Vishnu tried to convince Sukh Acharya’s mother not to help the Asuras in any way, but she did not listen, and she started helping the Asuras again. Finally, he did so.
This incident when Shukracharya came to know that Lord Vishnu had killed his mother, he was determined to kill Vishnu Prana and even became a fierce opponent of the gods. It is also known that after death his own wife Shukracharya’s father cursed Vishnu that he would have to descend to the earth again and again and every time he took birth from a mother’s womb that mother would suffer a lot. Therefore, it can be seen that every time Lord Vishnu was born on earth as a human being, his mother had to suffer a lot, in fact it was the curse of Shukracharya’s father. This was the story of how Shukracharya was born as the son of a sage but he and his family i.e. his father became fierce opponents of the gods. That was the brief history but what happened next is more damning which I am now going to tell. It is said that one of Guru Shukracharya’s eyes was damaged by Lord Vishnu due to which he could see everything with one eye. When Lord Vishnu appeared to King Bali to take his three feet of land Shukracharya knew that Lord Vishnu appeared in the guise of a Brahmin, so King Bali was making an idol for Vishnu to prevent him from becoming a landlord, when Lord Vishnu damaged one of his eyes. This incident is also a major reason for his becoming a staunch anti-Vishnu, but it is also heard that Lord Vishnu and his following deities killed many Asuras for which Shukracharya became even more staunchly anti-Vishnu.
If you look at the Hindu scriptures you will find that Shukracharya was in no way inferior to Jupiter. But in spite of this he had to face many defeats because he never wanted to come to the path of truth. His wife is Surpanakha. In the Ramayana we learn that Surpanaka was the sister of the famous demon Ravana, so when the kingdom of Sri Lanka passed away from her brother, she went to Arabia with Shukracharya and it is also known that he lived with Shukracharya as his wife and subsequently they gave birth to a special sect which has created a frenzy in the world today. But the world has stood as a witness, in this world, untruth and injustice can never be eternal, just as Shukracharya could not win in spite of his special powers, so his mentors will never win, because truth will win one day, it is only a matter of time. This was Shukracharya’s brief history of how a common man became a staunch anti-god and guru of Devils.
