Indra's Pride
Indra's Pride
I
ndra was once sitting in his court with the other gods, when Virihaspati, his guru, appeared. All the gods stood up to pay respect to Vrihaspati but proud Indra remained seated. Vriuhaspati felt
insulted and left. Realising his mistake, Indra went to Vrihaspati's
ashram to apologise. Vrihaspati saw him coming but he was too angry to
meet him and so he disappeared. Disappointed , Indra returned. Vrishavarsha, a demon came to know about
the conflict between Indra and his guru. To take advantage of this
situation, he attacked heaven. Without his guru's blessings, Indra could
not defend his kingdom and lost it to Vrishavarsha. Indra went to
Brahma for help. Brahma told him to make Sage Vishwaroopa to become his
guru. Vishwaroopa agreed and with his blessings, Indra won his kingdom
back.
