I once had a pleasant conversation with a devout follower of Indra, quite the talented illustrator as well. He lamented that Indra was a bit too much forgotten in modern hinduism, and in his opinion Zeus and Thor were a byproduct of indo-european worship of Indra.
I must say... I partially agree with your friend. A lot of matter evolved as cultures mixed and exchanged ideas. Even indian philosophy imbibed a lot from other cultures. Acculturation was a positive end result of trade... and yes.. Cultures coming together influenced 2 things conspicuously - Food & Religion.
Indra is more of a position of authority than just a character.... There are rituals inscribed in ancient texts which when followed can gain you the title of Indra and the powers.
Yes in the Markendeya puran, there's a story of indra tempting Markendeya to break his meditation. After it failed he asked what would I become after becoming indra ? A donkey on earth. He rejected the position.
@@nativeam25 Its obvious this denegrating of indra is the natural reaction to the Aryan invasions. This rejection of indra comes at the end of aryan dominance and the beginning of the caste system period hence an entirely new religious program which follows the Brahmins.
there's a difference btween purana's n veda's in purana's it's a "position of authority" named after INDRA DEV indra dev is the supreme god in RIG VEDA
There is such amazing parallels between Indra , Thor , Ninurta etc . Its almost as if its one being having a story told by different cultures under various names. Amazing video as always !

One version I heard said that Indra was specifically born to slay the dragon, and learned that he should gain the dragon trust so he can slay him in time. In that story, he used the foam alone while they were walking on the beach, and received aid from a sage to empower the foam. feeling bad for slaying his friend, he did penance until the gods told him he have been forgiven
@@lioness5838 actaully there is. You can find them in South Indian temples. They are called Vyali or Yali. And Vritra is also seen as a serpent/dragon like creature. The myth depend on where you're from tbh. In my region they call it Vyali.
fun fact in that era a human can also curse a God because everyone was pure everyone spoke the truth and their words had meaning. "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God"
Sages are just wise men. If you have to say who is a sage in today's world it will be doctors, engineers, scientists, astronomers, poets etc. The moral is even God must not harm these people else bad thing happens to you. Ie save your scholars. They are the key to your progress.
Well made and throughly researched! You are absolutely correct on the earlier importance of Indra in pre-upanishadic era. Just an up... Indra stems from the sanskrit word 'Indriya' - the sense organs. Hence Indra is portrayed with both good as well as flawed sides. Though most of his actions are for good, a few are impulsive and due to personal insecurities. During such times, he seems more opportunistic rather than righteous. Also in the later eras, Indra came to be defined as a post with each group of worlds having it's own Indra. Hence multiple Indra's in the multiverse. Also, the sage who cursed Indra was Rishi Gautam. Indra bedded the chaste wife of Gautama out of sheer lust. He decitefully lay with her by taking her husband's form. On knowing this, the Rishi cursed Indra that his body would just be a heap of sex organs (1000 to be precise). Indra's body immediately turned up so. However, the curse was lastly modified to 1000 eyes.
Sages are given an honor to be respected and they have a power to curse people as they have gained moksha and the knowledge of life and more. But, after shiva was cursed in some occasions they sages did regret it and took it back, it was mostly done by angry saints. Remember Vishnu (naraiyan) , Bahramaa and shiv (mahayesh) are the once who have created this universe they are mostly acuretly right but some people just don't want to listen to the truth and this kind of things happen.
Indra being mentioned in Vedas as most powerful is to addressed to parabrahma, sometimes to rudra or Vishnu Vedas are not easily understandable for outsiders, it's in cryptic or puzzle like

Indra is also represented as senses that's why he is so impulsive. Indra came from indriyan means five senses.. One who defeats indra is said to have defeated all his impulses..
I wonder if there were political reasons in ancient India which lead to the retelling of the stories in ways which downplayed or shunned Indra. Maybe as a way of belittling peoples who were known for worshipping Indra?
Of course same way everyone tried to hide Lilith the first wife of Adam asshole. God made the entire planet in 6/7 days and Adam the ass lost not 1 but 2 only. Pussies on the plant. He had to be the ultimate asshole.🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Evidence suggests that migrating Caucasian Indo-Iranian tribes were moving in and the Vedic gods were what they worship. Intermingling with the locals eventually saw a decline in the Vedic gods and the rise of the non-Vedic gods the locals worshipped. The emphasis to “higher-mind/spirit” and a focus on otherworldly qualities as opposed to concepts rooted in the natural world aligns with the Indo-Iranians being submerged within the much larger Dravidian population over generations.
Asura a Clan name Naga Race ...😉 Indra also a Asura in Rig Veda 😊 Even Rudra/Shiva also in RigVeda also Asura Varuna Also ,Krishna's Mother Yayati also a Asura Clan ...
All gods obey Indra, but all gods also obey Varuna, Vishnu, Rudra and others when the situation arises. Further, Indra also accepts and follows the instructions of Savitr. Indra, like all Vedic deities, is a part of henotheistic theology of ancient India. And is somewhat different from others Indo-european counterparts. Indra is also called Bṛhaspati priest king.

Eric W. The dasyus were most likely not the indigenous people of India. They were either most like the Dahae Tribe, and Iranic Tribe in Central Asia, or the Bactria Margiana People of Central Asia. Indra is said to be a loan word from the Bactria-Margiana Language and the description that the “Dasyu lived in forts and castles” is proven by the numerous forts and castle like structures found in their civilization. The harrapan civilization had already most likely died out and moved deeper into the subcontinent themselves, leaving free new pastures for the indo aryans to colonize in the Indus Valley. Also, there is no evidence the Indo-Europeans possessed blonde hair etc. I keep seeing white supremacists like you trying to claim Vedic Culture and it makes me cringe
@@varungambhir3403 Dravidian came from South West Iran region to India , if you research a bit you will find that Tamil and sumerian are related language , tamilian were once elamite people of Iran , both Dravidian and north Indian are Aryans , Vedas are books of ancestor ( in every yuga new Vedas written or memories with history that had happened) , in rigveda Indra was also called asur , so Indra definitely first prayed by semetic , cuz for Vedic people all semetic were asura especially assarians due to assarian attacked over Indian subcontinent in 800bce we started asura word being demonic and we used in puranic books that all bad people are asura identity
Varun gambhir There is no proof Of that There s a reason why it's called info European The oldest mention of Dyaus pita is found in Rigveda Which clearly means there are more chancee of ymit being exported Then being imported Cuz indus seals are found in Mesopotamia
aditya nawani puranic stories. All these Gods descriptions such as 10 arms/10 heads etc are just symbolism and not supposed to be taken seriously. They symbolize things such as supreme strength and such
actually Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva are the principle gods or the main gods and the deities like Indra, Agni, etc. are the nature gods having powers specific powers of nature.
He was the king of the gods in the Vedic Text ( 1500 bce). Its in the post-Vedic text, is where his role is gradually diminished and reduced to the Trimurti.
This was very interesting. Thank you, a lot of what I am learning about this culture of Gods I did not receive or remember from World Cultures. Can you please do some Mythology of the Ancient Mesopotamians ?
I've come back here after years to say: Indra is son of a powerful priest at times of satya yuga (true age), in those times life & earth was new! Vishnu, Shiva, Brahma who are all one, but divided into multiple roles are Gods, while Indra controls, & manages the heaven working under them! He is like a corporate executive!
Karna is the son of Suryadev(Sungod) and Suryadev is the elder brother of Indradev & Agnidev(Fire god), Pavandev(Wind god) & Varundev(Ocean god). He is the 1st son of Sage Rishi Kashyap & Aditi(mother of all Devas or God's) 2nd is twin brothers Indradev & Agnidev, 3rd is Pavandev & 4th is Varundev. Omnipotent Sungod is the King of the planets & universe. God of light, healing & soul, he is the remover of darkness while his younger brother Indradev is the remover of dryness both of the God's are very important in Vedas.
Karna was born with a cosmic impenetrable armour, Divine armour of gold almost made Karna invincible & immortal but his uncle Indradev took it from karna in order to save his own son Arjun, like Karna Arjun is also a devmanav(demigod), Karna was very brave, strong, kind & friendly and he is famous for his generosity just like his true father Suryadev(Sungod) who is the King of the planet's & universe that's why Karna is also known as Danveer Karna or #Suryaputra Karna but he was raised by charioteer, Karna suffered a lot because of his stupid Gemini mother, Ryan if you want to know more about Karna please watch Mahabharat 2013 movie.
@@christianchauhan23 there is no mentioned of karna being generous in the original Mahabharata he only got the name of being generous for giving donation to only bhramins and Indra took part in embarassing Draupadi and he knowin chooses sided with Kurus.

We see the same in Germanic mythology with Tyr : "Týr (/tɪər/;[1] Old Norse: Týr, pronounced [tyːr]), Tíw (Old English), and Ziu (Old High German) is a god in Germanic mythology. Stemming from the Proto-Germanic deity *Tīwaz and ultimately from the Proto-Indo-European chief deity *Dyeus, little information about the god survives beyond Old Norse sources. Due to the etymology of the god's name and the shadowy presence of the god in the extant Germanic corpus, some scholars propose that Týr may have once held a more central place among the deities of early Germanic mythology." I think some Indo-European gods were switched out depending on the circumstances. In war, Thor/Indra was important in the pantheon. In peace, other gods may be more important.

since my name is derived from lord Indra , I want to worship him, but Krishna said not to worship Indra, beacuse Indra represent an ideal King. he is an attractive alpha male, egoist, womanizer, greedy , in short he is the "Tony stark of heaven". rather than focusing on materialistic world, Krishna told us to focus on inner self. So I'm confused what to do, can someone help me.

Religious pantheons and everything in mythology and religious iconology makes sense if you consider that the world we see is filtered first by our brain and the actual 'real' world could just be a kaleidoscopic array of nonsensical geometries and stuff like in a hallucinogen trip so all the weird symbols and clothes and weapons and body parts of these deities are actually more real than this world we see. Also, they seem unreal and impossible to us because the 'real' world is just that, nonsensical shapes and events that don't make any sense so the causality and logic operating our world is actually very weak and small compared to the kaleidoscopic chaos and universe sized patterns and Geometries of the 'real' world too big to be observed by our meagre minds.

In hinduism Indra has taken a back seat as a demigod. He is the controller of sky and storm. Krishna, on the other hand ,is the supreme god. He controls everything, Indra borrows his power from him. Indra was also punished by Krishna. No comparison.. Thats hindu mythology(itihasa) People compare Shiva with krishna. But thats also wrong. Because Shiva is also Supreme God. So Two supremes? No.. Both Krishna and Shiva are the same Supreme (Brahman) with different attributes. Both are Supreme..just seeing the same from different perspective. Similarly Devi (feninine attribute/the 'female' hindu god like Kali) is also Supreme with different perspective Hope that helps.
Indra is not supreme God. Even we not prefer any prayer or pooja regularly. Yes he is king & controller of RAIN. Only for good monsoon/ rain specially framers arrange prayer. King Indra has human qualities. He shows fear. Pray to Lord vishnu for save his kingdom. & yes in his palace he have beautiful dancers,(Ranbha, Urvashi, Menka) musician, good variety of food & clothes. & he wish more & more.
You see Indra is a post and over time there have been many indra's, all having different personalities and currently the post is taken by Shakra son of Maharshi Kashyap, also if you want the post you can check in vadas and you'll find the qualifications of it. Indra rules for 1 manvantra which is about 71 cycle of 4 yugas or in human years about 30,67,20,000
As a Brahmin I accept that the scriptures begin and end with the Vedas. Everything after is modern Hinduism which I no longer consider myself. True Vedic teaching is not Hindu but it's own primal thing.
You missed where Indra slept with a sage’s wife and the sage cursed him to have 1000 vaginas on his body and later that sage modified the curse so Indra has 1000 eyes
Actually in the Ramayana, he is cursed so that his scrotum falls off (exposing his testicles) which is then replaced by that of a ram (animal). Also what I feel bad about is that while what Indra did that time was a case of adultery, it is propagated as a rape case to demean him. The wife of the sage knew that she was having sex with Indra (he had confessed it before sleeping with her). And she consented out of arrogance (my beauty is so great that even the King of gods cannot control himself).

Manu is a future variant of the murdered Brahma who discovered a secret dimension that allowed him to go back in time and warn his preincarnation of his impending doom at the hands of Shiva and the 70 Asuras. Having saved the life of Brahma, his father Anshar, and his father Apsu, Manu was granted the status of full member of the pantheon. But Manu was always just a reincarnation of Brahma, understand? To punish the Titans, the 70 spirits were to be destroyed, but Manu negotiated for their return. His idea was accepted, but he would have to die once for each of the 70, to atone for their treason. Brahma shattered and scattered their spirits across time and space until they became all of you - everyone who is reading this. One of the reincarnations of Manu was Indra, naturally equated with Brahma, but also a separate deity. Understand? Together, Indra and Anu were Brahma: the Pair of Men. They were Jupiter: the Two Fathers. They were Zeus: meaning in the cardinal and ordinal sense, Two, Second. They were Jesus and his Father, who were "one". Understanding Indra and his role to Manu is imperative to understanding politics today.
Nah, Indra is always asking for help with Shiva and Vishnu, and sometimes does foolish things too, like he lives a lavish life with drinking and watching apsaras (angels) dance all the time and forgets his duties, and some lowly demon works really hard, meditates hard, gets a boon from the higher gods due to their dedication, and then attacks heaven and defeats Indra, then Indra starts begging for help with Shiva, Vishnu and Brahma....but he is v imp, like a director of a company, he has great wealth, awesome weapons, and controls weather and controls other demi gods under him!! So he is imp but not that much. Shiva, Vishnu, Brahma, Ganesh, Kumar, all the Devis are higher gods

There’s also the fact that Krishna worship is hugely popular and the Bhagavat Purana includes a story where Indra tried to destroy Krishna’s village because the villagers weren’t worshipping Indra anymore and focused their worship on Krishna instead.
Ahilya, the one for whom Indra disguised is one of the five Kanyas who are never contaminated and the daughter of Brahma. He had also asked for Ahilya's hand with his father but Brahma refused.

And Sage Gautam was the one who respected Ahilya and accepted her as his wife giving Lord Brhma the joy of perfect match for his daughter.
Indra is a king of Devalokha (demi gods dimension). We are in the 7 th lokha called bhulokha (earthly plane which includes the land of earth and other lands with mount Meru or Mount Sumeru as the central structure) 01 Satya-loka (Lord Brahma's lokha where he meditate to create material world) 02 Tapa-loka 03 Jana-loka 04 Mahar-loka 05 Svar-loka *(aka Deva Lokha usually called heaven) 06 Bhuvar-loka 07 Bhu-loka (human relm) 08 Atala-loka 09 Vitala-loka 10 Sutala-loka 11 Talatala-loka 12 Mahatala-loka 13 Rasatala-loka 14 Patala-loka (usually called as hell) *Svarga Loka is a set of heavenly worlds located on and above Mt. Meru where the righteous live in paradise before their next incarnation. During each pralaya (the great dissolution or flood), the first three realms, Bhu loka (Earth), Bhuvar loka and Swarga loka are destroyed. Below the seven upper realms lie seven lower realms, of Patala, the underworld and netherworld. Svarga is seen as a transitory place for righteous souls who have performed good deeds in their lives but are not yet ready to attain moksha, or elevation to Vaikunta, the abode of Lord Vishnu, considered to be the Supreme Abode. The capital of Svarga is Amaravati and its entrance is guarded by Airavata. Svarga is presided over by Indra, the leader of the devas.
1 SATHYA LOKA : This is the highest world in this material Universe and it is the abode of Lord Brahma. His one day + night is 8.6 billion years. He lives here along with Goddess Saraswathi. Those who have attained highest spiritual enlightenment (after many many jenmas) in this material Universe, also reach this place and live here (Moksha within this material universe may be!!!!). At the time of final dissolution, (Maha Pralaya which happens when Brahma completes his 100 years of life span according to the time calculations in this Loka - roughly 311 trillion and 40 billion human years) people living here transform their subtle bodies into spiritual bodies and enter the Vaikuntha planets which begins 26,200,000 yojanas (1 yojana = 8 miles and therefore 209600000 miles) above Sathya Loka. The distance between Sun and Sathya Loka is mentioned as 233,800,000 yojanas ( 1,870,400,000 miles). We can also take it from scientific point of view. Considering the ever expanding Universe, all planets and stars have birth and death. Pralaya and Maha Pralaya could be death of few stars/planets and life beginning afresh in different stars/planets. 2 TAPA LOKA : This is situated 120,000,000 yojanas below Sathya Loka (960,000,000 miles). The four sons of Brahma (popularly called as Sanathkumaras) named Sanaka, Sanatana, Sanandana and Sanath live here. When Brahma created Universe first, these kumaras are the first beings created by him to aid him in the creation process. But they were not interested in worldly life and hence refused to aid in the creation process. They opted for ever-lasting devotion to God and thus got a boon to live for the entire life of this material Universe (till the full life time of Brahma) and to retain their age as 5. 3 JANA LOKA : It is situated 80,000,000 yojanas (640,000,000 miles) below Tapa Loka. This is the abode of great saints and sages who have attained more spiritual powers than the other lower Lokas They are able to travel between different worlds in such a speed which is unimaginable to us. At the time of final dissolution, (their dissolution time is different) they transfer their subtle bodies to the highest Loka of this material Universe, Sathya Loka. 4 MAHAR LOKA : This is situated 20,000,000 yojanas (160,000,000 miles) below Jana Loka. This is also an abode of Rishis and sages but who are little lower in spiritual powers than compared to Jana Loka. Bhrigu Muni lives here. This is located in Inter Galactical space beyond the pivotal point for the turning of Universe. The life span of this Loka and people living in here are 4,300,000,000 solar years. At the time of dissolution, they transform themselves to Sathya Loka. 5 SVAR LOKA - This is what we often call as Swarga Loka and everybody knows at least a little about this. It is where Indra and the Demi-Gods (Devas) live. Apsaras like Ramba, Menaka, Urvasi also live here. The capital of this Loka is Amaravathi. They have the wish fulfilling tree (Karpaga Tree) and cow (Kamadhenu) etc to live their life blissfully here. But not thorough bliss. They also need to fight with Asuras often who try to take control of the Devas and conquer their world. This Loka is the one we call as Heaven where virtuous beings go after death to get their good deeds rewarded. This is in the milky way galaxy beyond Saptarishi Mandala and Pole Star (Dhuruva). This Loka will also be destroyed at the end of every pralaya (one day of Brahma). But till that time Devas also undergo rebirth. If they advance spiritually they go to higher levels or if they indulge only in material pleasures then they go to lower levels and also born as humans. Many stories that we have heard about "Sabham - Curse" often tell that such devas have become humans, animals and also beasts. 6 BHUVAR LOKA : This is the place which corresponds to our own Solar System and hence include the Sun, Moon, Stars and Planets in our solar system and also include Saptarishi Mandala (Ursa Major Constellation) and Dhuruvaloka (Polaris, the pole star). Semi-divine beings including Sidhas, Charanas and Vidhyadharas live here. When they advance in their spiritual levels they go to the next highest Loka that is Svar Loka. Bhuvar Loka also includes the sky called "Antariksh" which is considered as the lowest of the higher Lokas but immediately about the realm of earth. And this place is considered to be the abode of Yakshas, Rakshashas, Ghosts and other etheral beings. Since this is the Loka which is immediately above Bhu Loka (Earth), we consider these planets, sun, moon and stars influence human life in some way and thus they constitute the major part of "Astrology". 7 BHU LOKA : This we all know. This is planet Earth, home for humans and other species like insects and animals. Since we all live here it does not need much explanation. So let us move to the lower planetary systems (Adho Lokas). 8 ATALA LOKA : Basically the lower lokas start 70000 yojanas (560000 miles) below Earth. These are also known as Bila-Swarga because they indulge in extreme material pleasure, very much more even that of Devas. This is because they have very little or zero sense of spiritualism. Hence these are considered as dark planets where the rays of sun cannot even reach. Hence they are artificially lit by means of gems and jewels and they have no day and night. Atala Loka is the first among the lower lokas. It is ruled by the son of Maya called Bala who has mystical powers. 9 VITALA LOKA : Vitala is ruled by Hara bhava - a form of Shiva along with Bhavani. (We should not take this as Lord Shiva as such but only an "Amsam" or a "different form" of him. 10 SUTALA LOKA : This is the kingdom of Mahabali who is the main character in Vamana Avatar story. After he surrendered to God, he got many riches and was made the king of this Loka. He also has the boon to become the eighth "Indra" (current Indra is "Puranthara" ) in the next manvanthra (eighth) which is going to be preceded by "Savarni Manu". 11 TALATALA LOKA : This is the realm of Maya. Once he created three flying cities and did many attrocities and became a night mare to Devas and Rishis. Hence they all went and complained to Lord Shiva, who then destroyed king Maya's three kingdoms in "Tripura Samhara". Then Maya surrendered to Lord Shiva and pleased by this, Shiva offered this realm to him to rule. 12 - 14. MAHATALA - PAATALA : The residents of these realms are known to be Danavas, Daithyas and Nagas. Thakshaka and Vasuki live here. Thakshaka played an important role in the epic Mahabaratha in the Kurukshethra war. Another Naga princess called Uloopi took Arjuna to Nagaloka (Paatala) and a kid called "Iraavaan" was born to them.

One thing I want to tell you all dears about Indra. Actually Indra is not a god, it is a rank in the order of heaven which means "the leader of all Devas(Gods)". And Indra is 4th most important and powerful god after "Tridev" (Brahma, Vishnu & Mahesh)

Indra sounds so much like Zeus with his Thunderbolts and adultery through the disguise.
I agree with that
Nothing related to European. Vikings when we were karmically pure and very strong went to Europe with their worship of vedic/Hindu gods.
Which is true about Thor, Zeus, but Indra is still human who drank Amrit (fountain of youth) chosen by the actual Gods: Brahma, Vishnu, Mahesh
I follow Indra, his example of protecting his people inspires me. He is very, very strong and I read his hymns every day.
Hes saved Arjuna from being killed by Karna by taking the latter's Armour and earrings.
He is Thor/Donar in ancient Germanic myths.

One version I heard said that Indra was specifically born to slay the dragon, and learned that he should gain the dragon trust so he can slay him in time. In that story, he used the foam alone while they were walking on the beach, and received aid from a sage to empower the foam. feeling bad for slaying his friend, he did penance until the gods told him he have been forgiven

Sages are just wise men. If you have to say who is a sage in today's world it will be doctors, engineers, scientists, astronomers, poets etc.

Well made and throughly researched! You are absolutely correct on the earlier importance of Indra in pre-upanishadic era.
Just an up...
Indra stems from the sanskrit word 'Indriya' - the sense organs. Hence Indra is portrayed with both good as well as flawed sides. Though most of his actions are for good, a few are impulsive and due to personal insecurities. During such times, he seems more opportunistic rather than righteous.
Also in the later eras, Indra came to be defined as a post with each group of worlds having it's own Indra. Hence multiple Indra's in the multiverse.
Also, the sage who cursed Indra was Rishi Gautam. Indra bedded the chaste wife of Gautama out of sheer lust. He decitefully lay with her by taking her husband's form. On knowing this, the Rishi cursed Indra that his body would just be a heap of sex organs (1000 to be precise). Indra's body immediately turned up so. However, the curse was lastly modified to 1000 eyes.
Indra stems from the word indha, which means power or might, thus his name means lord of might.
My god you are well informed
@@anantasheshanaga3666 indra comes from sanskrit naming lol

Actually the real name of Indra is "Idandra",which means to rise or increase.
@@adityanawani8134 ,do you know what is the root of the name "Ram"?I can't find it
To be honest sages are the strongest, they can kill anyone instantly. And an interesting fact Shiva is the god of all sages.
Hence they live in tapta or tapoloka which is higher and powerful and spiritual realm
they even curse lord Shiva manhood
Actually the sages even cursed Shiva.
Secondly, the sages worship the both forms Vishnu and Shiva.
I like Shiva he seems very misunderstood in western contemporary society. Yuvraj Asht Is he also Shani or Saturn?
Sages are given an honor to be respected and they have a power to curse people as they have gained moksha and the knowledge of life and more. But, after shiva was cursed in some occasions they sages did regret it and took it back, it was mostly done by angry saints. Remember Vishnu (naraiyan) , Bahramaa and shiv (mahayesh) are the once who have created this universe they are mostly acuretly right but some people just don't want to listen to the truth and this kind of things happen.
So the Dragon is so tall its head reaches the sky and it can destroy mountains with its breath , but its killed by foam..
Foam comfy clean and now with God killing aaaaa action
foam aided by sages energy
Foam creates a non inflammable layer giving Indra extra time to thunder nuke the crap out of Vritra.

I wonder if there were political reasons in ancient India which lead to the retelling of the stories in ways which downplayed or shunned Indra. Maybe as a way of belittling peoples who were known for worshipping Indra?
I guess they saw the decline in polytheism in EU, & turned their attentions towards the upanishads instead of the vedas.

Evidence suggests that migrating Caucasian Indo-Iranian tribes were moving in and the Vedic gods were what they worship. Intermingling with the locals eventually saw a decline in the Vedic gods and the rise of the non-Vedic gods the locals worshipped. The emphasis to “higher-mind/spirit” and a focus on otherworldly qualities as opposed to concepts rooted in the natural world aligns with the Indo-Iranians being submerged within the much larger Dravidian population over generations.

Eric W. The dasyus were most likely not the indigenous people of India. They were either most like the Dahae Tribe, and Iranic Tribe in Central Asia, or the Bactria Margiana People of Central Asia. Indra is said to be a loan word from the Bactria-Margiana Language and the description that the “Dasyu lived in forts and castles” is proven by the numerous forts and castle like structures found in their civilization. The harrapan civilization had already most likely died out and moved deeper into the subcontinent themselves, leaving free new pastures for the indo aryans to colonize in the Indus Valley. Also, there is no evidence the Indo-Europeans possessed blonde hair etc. I keep seeing white supremacists like you trying to claim Vedic Culture and it makes me cringe

Omnipotent Sungod is the King of the planets & universe. God of light, healing & soul, he is the remover of darkness while his younger brother Indradev is the remover of dryness both of the God's are very important in Vedas.
Karna was born with a cosmic impenetrable armour, Divine armour of gold almost made Karna invincible & immortal but his uncle Indradev took it from karna in order to save his own son Arjun, like Karna Arjun is also a devmanav(demigod), Karna was very brave, strong, kind & friendly and he is famous for his generosity just like his true father Suryadev(Sungod) who is the King of the planet's & universe that's why Karna is also known as Danveer Karna or #Suryaputra Karna but he was raised by charioteer, Karna suffered a lot because of his stupid Gemini mother, Ryan if you want to know more about Karna please watch Mahabharat 2013 movie.

Indra getting down played in later stage is humans moving from bronze age to iron age. I think even thought and thinking style chanhed.
We see the same in Germanic mythology with Tyr :
"Týr (/tɪər/;[1] Old Norse: Týr, pronounced [tyːr]), Tíw (Old English), and Ziu (Old High German) is a god in Germanic mythology. Stemming from the Proto-Germanic deity *Tīwaz and ultimately from the Proto-Indo-European chief deity *Dyeus, little information about the god survives beyond Old Norse sources. Due to the etymology of the god's name and the shadowy presence of the god in the extant Germanic corpus, some scholars propose that Týr may have once held a more central place among the deities of early Germanic mythology."
I think some Indo-European gods were switched out depending on the circumstances. In war, Thor/Indra was important in the pantheon. In peace, other gods may be more important.

So I'm confused what to do, can someone help me.

Religious pantheons and everything in mythology and religious iconology makes sense if you consider that the world we see is filtered first by our brain and the actual 'real' world could just be a kaleidoscopic array of nonsensical geometries and stuff like in a hallucinogen trip so all the weird symbols and clothes and weapons and body parts of these deities are actually more real than this world we see. Also, they seem unreal and impossible to us because the 'real' world is just that, nonsensical shapes and events that don't make any sense so the causality and logic operating our world is actually very weak and small compared to the kaleidoscopic chaos and universe sized patterns and Geometries of the 'real' world too big to be observed by our meagre minds.

Vedic Indra is God himself.
As a Brahmin I accept that the scriptures begin and end with the Vedas. Everything after is modern Hinduism which I no longer consider myself. True Vedic teaching is not Hindu but it's own primal thing.
You missed where Indra slept with a sage’s wife and the sage cursed him to have 1000 vaginas on his body and later that sage modified the curse so Indra has 1000 eyes
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Actually in the Ramayana, he is cursed so that his scrotum falls off (exposing his testicles) which is then replaced by that of a ram (animal).
Also what I feel bad about is that while what Indra did that time was a case of adultery, it is propagated as a rape case to demean him. The wife of the sage knew that she was having sex with Indra (he had confessed it before sleeping with her). And she consented out of arrogance (my beauty is so great that even the King of gods cannot control himself).
Maybe that's why Indra is a P.

Manu is a future variant of the murdered Brahma who discovered a secret dimension that allowed him to go back in time and warn his preincarnation of his impending doom at the hands of Shiva and the 70 Asuras. Having saved the life of Brahma, his father Anshar, and his father Apsu, Manu was granted the status of full member of the pantheon. But Manu was always just a reincarnation of Brahma, understand? To punish the Titans, the 70 spirits were to be destroyed, but Manu negotiated for their return. His idea was accepted, but he would have to die once for each of the 70, to atone for their treason. Brahma shattered and scattered their spirits across time and space until they became all of you - everyone who is reading this. One of the reincarnations of Manu was Indra, naturally equated with Brahma, but also a separate deity. Understand? Together, Indra and Anu were Brahma: the Pair of Men. They were Jupiter: the Two Fathers. They were Zeus: meaning in the cardinal and ordinal sense, Two, Second. They were Jesus and his Father, who were "one". Understanding Indra and his role to Manu is imperative to understanding politics today.

He is King of Aryas and only by his Grace and help, Sanatan Dharma will again Blossom like a Lotus on Earth.
Jai sree bhagwan Indra💖💖💖💖😈😈😈😈😎😎 father of Arjun
Damn that must have been an epic battle
I don't think we knew the real Indra! don't we
Are there any Earth and Water deities in Hindu philosophy?
Yes
Chitragupta
Urabus is not a hindu God
Varuna
Indra is seen in modern life as a politician who only works to increase his own power rather than help people and won't back down from hurting innocents if it means he remains in power.
I wonder what went wrong, and why Hindus treat Indra so differently from his original depictions
@@breezysteel385 If I remember correctly then there's a story when he killed his brother after inviting him to his place and tricking his brothers half demon half Bhramin bodyguard so as to make him leave his brothers side so he can murder his brother, just because his brother was a better ruler and many gods started to favor him over Indra
So Hillary Clinton then 😂👍
There’s also the fact that Krishna worship is hugely popular and the Bhagavat Purana includes a story where Indra tried to destroy Krishna’s village because the villagers weren’t worshipping Indra anymore and focused their worship on Krishna instead.
@@Dragon_With_Matches And then Krishna lifted the Govardhan mountain for which he is called Giridhar.
Hi , random question. Where do you get your background music from?
SASSUKKKEEEEE
NAAARUUTOOOOO
INDRAAAAAA
ASUUURAAAA
Ahilya, the one for whom Indra disguised is one of the five Kanyas who are never contaminated and the daughter of Brahma. He had also asked for Ahilya's hand with his father but Brahma refused. So up on this he committed sin disguising himself as sage Gautam for an earthly women. And Sage Gautam was the one who respected Ahilya and accepted her as his wife giving Lord Brhma the joy of perfect match for his daughter.
@@pointerrider no way, you are deluded
@@r------ ahilya story is fake,buddhist distort and add this story ,indra is respected god ❤️
@@GyanTvAmit you are wrong
@@r------ i am right indra is main god in rigveda
@@GyanTvAmit so what
Indra is a king of Devalokha (demi gods dimension). We are in the 7 th lokha called bhulokha (earthly plane which includes the land of earth and other lands with mount Meru or Mount Sumeru as the central structure)
01 Satya-loka (Lord Brahma's lokha where he meditate to create material world)
02 Tapa-loka
03 Jana-loka
04 Mahar-loka
05 Svar-loka *(aka Deva Lokha usually called heaven)
06 Bhuvar-loka
07 Bhu-loka (human relm)
08 Atala-loka
09 Vitala-loka
10 Sutala-loka
11 Talatala-loka
12 Mahatala-loka
13 Rasatala-loka
14 Patala-loka (usually called as hell)
*Svarga Loka is a set of heavenly worlds located on and above Mt. Meru where the righteous live in paradise before their next incarnation. During each pralaya (the great dissolution or flood), the first three realms, Bhu loka (Earth), Bhuvar loka and Swarga loka are destroyed. Below the seven upper realms lie seven lower realms, of Patala, the underworld and netherworld.
Svarga is seen as a transitory place for righteous souls who have performed good deeds in their lives but are not yet ready to attain moksha, or elevation to Vaikunta, the abode of Lord Vishnu, considered to be the Supreme Abode.
The capital of Svarga is Amaravati and its entrance is guarded by Airavata. Svarga is presided over by Indra, the leader of the devas.
1 SATHYA LOKA : This is the highest world in this material Universe and it is the abode of Lord Brahma. His one day + night is 8.6 billion years. He lives here along with Goddess Saraswathi. Those who have attained highest spiritual enlightenment (after many many jenmas) in this material Universe, also reach this place and live here (Moksha within this material universe may be!!!!). At the time of final dissolution, (Maha Pralaya which happens when Brahma completes his 100 years of life span according to the time calculations in this Loka - roughly 311 trillion and 40 billion human years) people living here transform their subtle bodies into spiritual bodies and enter the Vaikuntha planets which begins 26,200,000 yojanas (1 yojana = 8 miles and therefore 209600000 miles) above Sathya Loka. The distance between Sun and Sathya Loka is mentioned as 233,800,000 yojanas ( 1,870,400,000 miles). We can also take it from scientific point of view. Considering the ever expanding Universe, all planets and stars have birth and death. Pralaya and Maha Pralaya could be death of few stars/planets and life beginning afresh in different stars/planets.
2 TAPA LOKA : This is situated 120,000,000 yojanas below Sathya Loka (960,000,000 miles). The four sons of Brahma (popularly called as Sanathkumaras) named Sanaka, Sanatana, Sanandana and Sanath live here. When Brahma created Universe first, these kumaras are the first beings created by him to aid him in the creation process. But they were not interested in worldly life and hence refused to aid in the creation process. They opted for ever-lasting devotion to God and thus got a boon to live for the entire life of this material Universe (till the full life time of Brahma) and to retain their age as 5.
3 JANA LOKA : It is situated 80,000,000 yojanas (640,000,000 miles) below Tapa Loka. This is the abode of great saints and sages who have attained more spiritual powers than the other lower Lokas They are able to travel between different worlds in such a speed which is unimaginable to us. At the time of final dissolution, (their dissolution time is different) they transfer their subtle bodies to the highest Loka of this material Universe, Sathya Loka.
4 MAHAR LOKA : This is situated 20,000,000 yojanas (160,000,000 miles) below Jana Loka. This is also an abode of Rishis and sages but who are little lower in spiritual powers than compared to Jana Loka. Bhrigu Muni lives here. This is located in Inter Galactical space beyond the pivotal point for the turning of Universe. The life span of this Loka and people living in here are 4,300,000,000 solar years. At the time of dissolution, they transform themselves to Sathya Loka.
5 SVAR LOKA - This is what we often call as Swarga Loka and everybody knows at least a little about this. It is where Indra and the Demi-Gods (Devas) live. Apsaras like Ramba, Menaka, Urvasi also live here. The capital of this Loka is Amaravathi. They have the wish fulfilling tree (Karpaga Tree) and cow (Kamadhenu) etc to live their life blissfully here. But not thorough bliss. They also need to fight with Asuras often who try to take control of the Devas and conquer their world. This Loka is the one we call as Heaven where virtuous beings go after death to get their good deeds rewarded. This is in the milky way galaxy beyond Saptarishi Mandala and Pole Star (Dhuruva). This Loka will also be destroyed at the end of every pralaya (one day of Brahma). But till that time Devas also undergo rebirth. If they advance spiritually they go to higher levels or if they indulge only in material pleasures then they go to lower levels and also born as humans. Many stories that we have heard about "Sabham - Curse" often tell that such devas have become humans, animals and also beasts.
6 BHUVAR LOKA : This is the place which corresponds to our own Solar System and hence include the Sun, Moon, Stars and Planets in our solar system and also include Saptarishi Mandala (Ursa Major Constellation) and Dhuruvaloka (Polaris, the pole star). Semi-divine beings including Sidhas, Charanas and Vidhyadharas live here. When they advance in their spiritual levels they go to the next highest Loka that is Svar Loka. Bhuvar Loka also includes the sky called "Antariksh" which is considered as the lowest of the higher Lokas but immediately about the realm of earth. And this place is considered to be the abode of Yakshas, Rakshashas, Ghosts and other etheral beings. Since this is the Loka which is immediately above Bhu Loka (Earth), we consider these planets, sun, moon and stars influence human life in some way and thus they constitute the major part of "Astrology".
7 BHU LOKA : This we all know. This is planet Earth, home for humans and other species like insects and animals. Since we all live here it does not need much explanation. So let us move to the lower planetary systems (Adho Lokas).
8 ATALA LOKA : Basically the lower lokas start 70000 yojanas (560000 miles) below Earth. These are also known as Bila-Swarga because they indulge in extreme material pleasure, very much more even that of Devas. This is because they have very little or zero sense of spiritualism. Hence these are considered as dark planets where the rays of sun cannot even reach. Hence they are artificially lit by means of gems and jewels and they have no day and night. Atala Loka is the first among the lower lokas. It is ruled by the son of Maya called Bala who has mystical powers.
9 VITALA LOKA : Vitala is ruled by Hara bhava - a form of Shiva along with Bhavani. (We should not take this as Lord Shiva as such but only an "Amsam" or a "different form" of him.
10 SUTALA LOKA : This is the kingdom of Mahabali who is the main character in Vamana Avatar story. After he surrendered to God, he got many riches and was made the king of this Loka. He also has the boon to become the eighth "Indra" (current Indra is "Puranthara" ) in the next manvanthra (eighth) which is going to be preceded by "Savarni Manu".
11 TALATALA LOKA : This is the realm of Maya. Once he created three flying cities and did many attrocities and became a night mare to Devas and Rishis. Hence they all went and complained to Lord Shiva, who then destroyed king Maya's three kingdoms in "Tripura Samhara". Then Maya surrendered to Lord Shiva and pleased by this, Shiva offered this realm to him to rule.
12 - 14. MAHATALA - PAATALA : The residents of these realms are known to be Danavas, Daithyas and Nagas. Thakshaka and Vasuki live here. Thakshaka played an important role in the epic Mahabaratha in the Kurukshethra war. Another Naga princess called Uloopi took Arjuna to Nagaloka (Paatala) and a kid called "Iraavaan" was born to them.
@@0arjun077 that's according to hinduism in Buddhism... Lord brahmas realm isn't the highest there r brahma worlds beyond his own... & plus there r immaterial or formless worlds called arupa brahma loka...
@@thisulwickramarachchi2380 in Hinduism Lord Brahma lokha is the highest in this universe there are other greater and higher lokhas as well, but it wont affect our universe. There are infinite number of Brahma lokha and universes as well, i state this in context with our universe.
Check your facts! Patal lok is not hell.
very nice vid.
He is not the king of gods, he is king on deities. There are only three gods in hindu. Both deities and demons worship them
Wrong

The Trinity are the forces of brahman
They existed before the universe

Japanes gods are actualy indian gods dude.
@@mitul2233 well, some are based from china and india, but japan have their original gods as well
Yea i know that but almost 80% japanese gods are indian gods
@@mitul2233 hmmmm
Most east asian gods and indo European gods are vedic and puranic gods from India while Islam took over middle and Christianity took over Europe but early caucasians used to worship Indo-European gods and Buddhism spreads throughout the east asia where indian gods gets popularised.
Famous anime characters like aizen,indra and ashura are Indian deities.
One thing I want to tell you all dears about Indra. Actually Indra is not a god, it is a rank in the order of heaven which means "the leader of all Devas(Gods)".
And Indra is 4th most important and powerful god after "Tridev" (Brahma, Vishnu & Mahesh)
The greatest god of all.
(Maharudra = Mahadev) > (Rudra=Indra)
@@pointerrider according to Vedas Shiva is superior
Lmao , Indra was not a god he even got cursed by a sage
@@pointerrider can u quote verse in which Indra is depicted as supreme ?
@@pointerrider Yes, Rig Veda (1.22.20) makes it very clear that it is Vishnu who empowers all the heavenly Devas extolled and glorified in the Vedas.
Vishnu occupies the paramount position. All the other deities look always to His feet.
Rig Veda 10.113.2 states:
Vishnu is glorified because of who and what He intrinsically is. Indra, on the other hand, is only glorious circumstantially.
Rig Veda 1.156.2 states:
Vishnu is the most ancient of all, yet also the most recent. Nothing and no one creates Vishnu, yet Vishnu creates everyone and everything
Found this in rigveda
@@pointerrider do u have any proof or u can just bark ?
Narayana (Sanskrit: नारायण, IAST: Nārāyaṇa) is the one who is in yogic slumber under the celestial waters, referring to Masculine principle also linked with Vishnu according to Vaishnavite Hindu belief.
Not back seat but the Trinity are indeed the creators of Indira too
So this is the origins of Thor.
Exactly
no everything originates from Africa lmao bc humanity started there
@@shera4276 actually he exists in Dinka mythology as Deng & his father is God he has the same abilities rain & lightning & in the Dinka version he was ruling earth on God’s behalf when he got bored of his Duty he disappeared & join God in Heaven
