Shukra or Shukracharya
Shukra (Sanskrit: शुक्र, IAST: Śukra) is a Sanskrit word that means “clear” or “bright”. It also has other meanings, such as the name of an ancient lineage of sages who counselled the asuras in Vedic mythology.[3] In medieval mythology and Hindu astrology, the term refers to the planet Venus, one of the Navagrahas.[4]
In Hinduism, Shukra is one of the sons of Bhrigu, of the third Manu, one of the saptarishis. He was the guru of Daityas and Asuras, and is also referred to as Shukracharya or Asuracharya in various Hindu texts. In another account found in the Mahabharata, Shukra divided himself into two, one half becoming the fount of knowledge for the devas (gods) and the other half being the knowledge source of the asuras (demons).[4] Shukra, in the Puranas, is blessed by Shiva with Sanjeevini Vidhya after worshipping and impressing Shiva with his devotion. Sanjeevini Vidhya is the knowledge that raises the dead back to life, which he used from time to time to restore life to the asuras. Later, this knowledge was sought by the devatas and was ultimately gained by them.[4]
Shukra’s mother was Kavyamata, whilst Shukra’s wives were the goddesses Urjasvati, Jayanti, and Sataparva. Sometimes, Urjjasvati and Jayanti are considered to be one goddess.[5] With her, Shukra produced many children including, Queen Devayani.[6] Sataparva was childless.
In the Mahabharata, Shukracharya is mentioned as one of the mentors of Bhishma, having taught him political science in his youth.[7]
