The planet Venus (Sukra) means a nature benefice planet
like guru in Hindu astrology. Sukra
means “bright” and “potency” in Sanskrit. Venus is the karaka of spouse, love,
luxury, beauty, prosperity and fine arts. Sukra, is known as the teacher of Rakshasas. Guru (Jupiter) is the welfare
minister while sukra is the cultural minister in the cabinet of the planets.
The main concern of Sukra will be to
provide culture development. A prominent Sukra
in the chart will give the native wealth, artful taste and proficiency in fine
arts. An afflicted Sukra would cause
hormonal problems, glandular malfunctions like diabetes. Propitiation to Sukra will bring about union in the
estranged couple, will bestow wealth and gives the native orientation towards
enjoyment of life.
Venus is worshiped on sarwarth siddhi yoga during shukla paksha on Friday. If Pushya Nakshatra is on that day, it is
even better. The rosary of safatik
(crystal) or pearl is used. Some scholars’ advice use of rudraksha or tulsi mala for japa of the mantra. The idol for worship should be silver in
colour. The sage of the Mantra is Vishvedeva.
The metre is tristup. The deity is Shukra. This mantra is to be chanted for
sixteen thousand times. For better results, the devotee is advised to perform homas with scented white flowers for
twenty one Fridays or with the twigs of gular.
The mantra for recital is:
