Indra Vikuntanath


Here is a hym of the Rig Veda

its kind of controversial in a way

but who doesnt love that

try and think about what its saying for a minuet

We are told by spiritual authoritys that the vedas are hyms for the many aspects of God.

I pray that Krishna is like this

HYMN XLVIII. Indra Vaikunthanath.

1. I WAS the first possessor of all arms and armour. The wealth of every man I win and gather up. All living creatures call on me as their Father; I deal enjoyment to those men who offers gifts.

2 I, Indra, am Atharvan's stay and firm support: I brought forth cows to Trita from the Dragon's grasp. I stripped the Demons of their manly might, and gave the cattle-stalls to Matarigvan and Dadhyac.

3 For me has visvikarma forged the thunderbolt: in me the Gods have centred their intellectual power.My aura is like the Sun's insufferably bright: Men honour me as Lord for my past and future deeds.

4 I won myself these herds of cattle, steeds and kine, and gold in ample store, with my destructive bolt.I give full many a thousand to the worshipper, at that time that the Somas and the offerings have made me glad.

5 Indra am I, none ever wins my wealth from me. never at any time am I a slave to death.Pressing the Soma, ask riches from me alone: ye, Purus, in my friendship shall not suffer harm.

6 These Demons , breathing loud in fury, two by two, who caused me to bring his bolt of thunder to the fray,The challengers, I struck with my deadly weapon down: (firm stand what words the God speaks to his worshippers.) This One demon by my stronger might I conquered single handedly; yea, also two: shall three prevail against me?Like many sheaves upon the floor I thrash them. How can my foes, the Indraless, revile me?

8 Against the Gungus I made Atithigva strong, and kept him mid the folk like Vrtra-conquering strength,When I won glory in the great foe-slaying fight, in battle where Karanja fell, and Parnaya.

9 With food for my enjoyment Sapya Nami came: he joined me as a friend of old in search of cattle. As I bestowed on him an arrow for the fight I made him worthy of the song apd hymn of praise.

10 One of the two has Soma, seen within it; the Herdsman with the bone shows forth the other.He, fain to fight the Bull whose horns were sharpened, stood fettered in the demon's ample region.

11 I, as a God, ne'er violate the statutes of gods, of Vasus, Rudriyas, Adityas.These Gods have formed me for auspicious vigour, unconquered and invincible for ever.

Whenever I need a boost of power for my day to day
I pray to Indra for the streingth to become sucessful

I know quite a few Mantras for his pleasure
one day I will build him a temple
I cant say as to why I like Indra so much, but for god's sake I do

Vishnu is God
Vayu is his pure Devotee
Indra is cool
and Krishna is my freind

Amen
