Yep, you read that right. A thousand yonis and a donated phallus. Just another casual scroll through the page when BAM—this headline slaps you right in the face. It’s another juicy post from Nai Mu, our resident spiritual storyteller from Ticy City, where divine drama is always on the menu.
So, who exactly is Lord Indra, the so-called King of Gods? Let’s dive in.
A Warrior God with a Taste for Pleasure
Long before Shiva, Vishnu, and Brahma—the Trimurti—took center stage, Indra was the big boss of the heavens. Back in the Vedic era, he ruled the skies, hurled thunderbolts, downed barrels of booze, and wasn’t shy about enjoying the finer things in life.
In the Rig Veda, one of the oldest texts of the Vedas, Indra gets 250 hymns dedicated to him—more than any other god. That’s VIP status right there.
He’s described as a massive, golden-haired warrior who loved wine (like, lake-sized portions of it), devoured meat, and was partial to beef, buffalo, and horse. Basically, ancient India’s most feared and most fabulous god.
He rode the winds, wielded the thunderbolt (vajra), and lived in Amaravati, a celestial palace that probably made Mount Olympus look like a budget Airbnb.
Son of Sky and Earth… or of Kasyapa and Aditi?
Depending on which text you read, Indra is either the child of the heavens and the Earth goddess, or the son of Kasyapa and Aditi—two powerful beings who birthed many of the early gods. His queen? The elegant (and fierce) Indrani. His older brother? Agni, the god of fire.
But here’s the twist: “Indra” is a title, not a personal name. It’s a divine role that gets passed down like a celestial crown.
The Hero Who Defeated Vritra
One of Indra’s most epic moments was slaying Vritra, the monstrous serpent who blocked the world’s waters. Indra smashed him with his thunderbolt, freed the rivers, and brought rain back to the earth. Fertility, abundance, and divine flexing—all in a day’s work.
For a while, Indra was top of the pantheon. Kings even tried to become Indra by performing the Ashvamedha Ceremony—an intense ritual involving horse sacrifices, warfare, and claiming world domination. Think: a political power grab wrapped in divine ritual.
The Fall: From Glory to Gossip
But power corrupts, right?
Indra’s reputation eventually took a hit—big time. As the Trimurti gods gained popularity, Indra started to look… less than holy. Stories painted him as drunk, jealous, and obsessed with women.
One of the most infamous tales? His affair with Ahalya, the stunning wife of the sage Gautama. Blinded by lust, Indra disguised himself as Gautama and seduced her. When the truth came out, Gautama cursed him—hard.
The Curse of a Thousand Yonis
His punishment? His body erupted with one thousand yonis—yes, female genitals—all over him. A symbol of his disgrace and unchecked lust. On top of that, Gautama cursed off his manhood. Indra had to wander the cosmos in shame until a compassionate worshipper offered him a donated phallus—a ram’s penis. Oof.
Eventually, the sage eased up and transformed the yonis into one thousand eyes, giving us “Indra of the Thousand Eyes”, always watching, always remembering.
But his glory days were over.
The New Indra Rises
In another tale, 500 sages once sang Indra’s praises—but he was too drunk to care. He dismissed them rudely, and in return, they cursed him to lose all divine power. This humiliation was the final straw.
And so, a New Indra took the throne. The old one? Banished. In Buddhist lore, he was exiled to live beneath the Himalayas, out of sight and out of divine influence.
Talk about a heavenly fall from grace.
Divine Soap Opera, Anyone?
From a thunder-wielding sky god to a scandal-ridden deity with a thousand yonis and a borrowed penis, Indra’s story is part mythology, part cautionary tale, and pure drama.
And according to Nai Mu, this is just part one.
So stay tuned—because if this is how the story starts, you can bet it only gets wilder from here.—
