Guest guest Posted April 20, 2004 Report Share Posted April 20, 2004 You could Learn a Lot from a Daitya was incorporated as a chapter in Hollow Earth in the Puranas - http://www.hiddenmysteries.com/delucia/index.html this being called The Guide in Etidorhpa struck me as a Daitya. First of all, he seemed to be some kind of agent for Venus, Aphrodite. In the Puranaic literature, the Daityas are followers of Venus, although Venus is depicted in the Puranas as a masculine god. His daughter is Devayani, who is also worshipped. She is the one which the Greeks and Romans picked up on as Aphrodite. The followers of Venus are the ones described in the Vedic literature as demons. Venus is known as the Daitya-guru, the preceptor of the demons. Jupiter was the deva-guru, the preceptor of the devas, the demigods. The idea is that Venus is very merciful to the demons and tries to elevate them through good instruction- it is not as if Venus is their preceptor in order to make them better demons. It is also stated that the demons are known for not following thier teacher's instructions very well. You can see that the Guide in Etidorhpa is an underworld figure, but that he does have some kind of method to his madness. So you really could learn a lot from a Daitya. Pick up the book in order to have it always. Click above. Dharma/Dean Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
