Guest guest Posted November 19, 2001 Report Share Posted November 19, 2001 Ladies and Gentlemen- You could learn a lot from a Daitya! http://skywebsite.com/hollow/etidorhpa/id9.html Of as much interest to us as the man was The Guide, referred to as the cave dweller by Mr. Cater above. He was described in the book as a man with ... a forehead which extended from crown to cheekbone in an unbroken plane ( eyeless ) ... [ with ] a body color of light blue putty [ which ] glistened in the sunlight like the slimy hide of a water dog, [ with ] a chubby tip of an abortive nose without nostrils ... cold, clammy hands ... sappy skin from which moisture seemed to ooze, as from the hide of a water lizard. The description of The Guide reminds us of descriptions of UFO occupants, with their small noses and grey complexions. The way his skin is described with the words sappy and moisture smacks of the slimy surface of a mushroom; indeed, this denizen of the underworld was not a sun-based biological entity. It occurs to us that he was a Daitya, a follower of Shukra Acharya, the Daitya Guru, the preceptor of a race of beings who take an opposite stance to the demigod followers of Vishnu. The role of Shukra in Puranic lore corresponds to Venus in the West. Why do we suspect that The Guide was a Daitya-follower of Shukra Acharya in particular? As the book unfolds, and particularly, when the book ends, the Guide is revealed as a highly placed, confidential functionary of Aphrodite- Etidorhpa is Aphrodite spelled backwards- who according to Vedic lore is but the daughter of Venus, technically she is not actually the predominating deity of the planet itself.
