Venus and Organized Militancy: Astro Analysis

Venus and Organized Militancy: Astro Analysis

“Him Kundmrinalabham Daityanam Paramam Gurum
Sharvshastrapravaktaram Bhargavam Pranamamyaham”

- Shukra Mantra

Vedic Astrology recognizes two important Gurus in the world.

Jupiter (Guru):

Jupiter is the Guru of Devtas. His father is Maharishi Angira. Maharishi's wife got the knowledge and procedures of performing the vrata from Sanat Kumars for having a son. She performed the vrata with complete devotion and the Gods were satisfied and a son was born in their house. The son was the lord of wisdom, Jupiter.

Venus (Shukracharya):

Shukracharya is the son of Sage Bhrigu. He is the preceptor of the demons. Shukra was the only one considered worthy of being granted the knowledge of Mrit - Sanjivani vidya by Lord Shiva. This knowledge is supposed to bring back even the dead to life.

Unlike Jupiter, Venus had a tougher role to play because his followers (the demons) had no means of understanding God and their own goodness. Thus, they were not qualified to achieve salvation on their own after death. Hence, Shukracharya had to plan Mukti (salvation) for his disciples. He selected a simple modus-operandi. He undertook the task of guiding his followers to fight against God and get Mukti (salvation) in the process because even if they get killed in the fight, the killer will be God himself.

Shukracharya is the most knowledgeable Guru. He is aware of the deficiencies of his followers and knows how to use these deficiencies for the advantage of demons. Instead of running away from the issues or disowning his followers because of their limited knowledge and quality, he undertook to help his devotees get God’s grace by encouraging them for tapasya (Penance) and getting Vardaan (blessings) from God to become more powerful. It was necessary to fight with Devtas (Demi Gods).

In Hindu Mythology we see that demons like Ravana, Kansh etc got Mukti (salvation) from God himself. However, they got Mukti by instigating war with God (on the advice of Shukracharya).

In 2009 the King of the year is Venus. The ruler will be Shukracharya who will push his disciples towards the path of salvation. We can expect many terrorist attacks in the name of God or holy wars. In Vedic astrology Venus is friendly to Saturn, Rahu and Mercury. Venus is going to extend help to Rahu and Saturn and support rebellion.

Venus is right now exalted (placed in the sign of Jupiter) and Jupiter is right now debilitated (placed in Capricorn). Organized militancy may get a fillip during the reign of Venus in 2009. However, since Shukracharya is a Guru, the common man should remain safe.

In the year 2009, worship of Shukracharya, Shani Dev and recitation of Narayan Kavach will work as a protective shield as per the prescribed principles of Vedic astrology.
