Shukracharya's Rules (Nities)

-->
 sukraniti
Shukracharya was the son of Maharishi Brighu (one of the saptrishis). He had four sons and one daughter. He was knowing the art of making dead alive. He wrote a book Shukra Niti or Sukra Niti, His niti is available in india and some of them are described below.

 Shukra nities (Rules)
1)    The mere mention of a woman's name delights a person and his thoughts are filled with lust, then why not by looking at a beautiful woman who makes her eyebrows dance

2)    Why not a woman, who is clever enough to have her food alone, who talks softly and delightfully, who can taunt affectionately, will capture the heart of any man

3)    The lust for 'other women' has caused destruction to many men like Indra, Dandakya, Nahusha and ravana

4)     king should never have lust for 'other women', should never have greed for 'other's wealth', should never give punishment to his subject in anger because 'Lust', 'Greed' and 'Anger' are the causes for downfall

5)     One should not clean his nostrils by inserting fingers in it, should not draw lines on the earth suddenly or should not dig the earth. One should not scratch his head.

6)    One must not be indifferent towards his wife, his son, diseases, servants, domestic animals, wealth, knowledge and studies and doing service to a gentleman for a moment. One must always take care of them.

7)    One should accept the good qualities of even the enemies and should salute him but on the other hand even if his teacher has bad qualities, he should reject them

8)    A misadventurist, who tries to do any work in a haste without giving much thought, and without knowing the consequences, gets only sorrow either because of the work itself or because of the consequences of that work

9)    A man who is under the influence and control of women, who is a debtor, struck by extreme poverty, a demander without any quality and wealth- such a man is worse than a dead man, though being alive

10)  One should maintain secrecy of his age, wealth, demerits of his home, Hymn (mantra), copulation, medicine, charity, respect and disrespect i.e. he should never tell others of these nine things

11)  In this world, no one is a Brahmin, a warrior caste, a caste doing trading/business and low caste by birth but on the basis of quality (sanskar) and deeds and actions (Karma)

12)  One who cleverly protects his subjects, is brave, has control over his senses and whose nature is to punish the wrong doers is called a Kshatriya.

13)  One who is efficient in purchasing and selling daily earns his livelihood by his business, one who does animal husbandry and farming are called Vaishya in this world

14)  A man is capable or incapable of doing good or evil in his present life according to the Karmas done in his previous birth that is if he has done evil Karmas or good Karmas in his previous birth, then his mind will change accordingly in his present birth and will do good or evil Karmas to face its consequences

15)  The mind changes as soon as the time comes to face the consequences of the Karmas. As the destiny is, accordingly one gets friends (good or evil)

16) All the actions of the world are based on destiny and labour(Karma), actions committed in the previous birth are destiny and actions committed in this life are called PURUSHARTHA. Thus KARMAS have been differentiated in two ways whichever of the two (Bhagya and Karma) is powerful forces the other to surrender. The strength cannot be identified merely by analyzing the results of the Karma or by any other means

17)  It would not have been possible to destroy the evils and evil doers if the destiny was unchangeable that is Karma (labour) can change even the Bhagya (destiny)

18)  If the destiny is unfavourable then the most virtuous of actions gives bad results just like the king Bali who was tied up even after being so charitable and Harishchandra had to serve a MLECHA, even after being a Truthful man

19)  Good actions give good results and evil actions give bad results, so one must accept good action give bad results, so one must accept good actions and reject evil actions as described in the scriptures

  1. The BMS leader stated that Sukranithi contains mandate to ensure living wage. My efforts to trace this did not succeed.

    1. You believe that you would try all by yourself to completely understand what one of sons of Saptarishi- the patriarchs of the Vedic Dharma said. Hats off ;)

    2. An online version of Vyadh Geeta or Butcher's Geeta has reference to "Lakshmi Tantra" in commentary of chapter 4 verse 40.

  2. Actions Cannot change Destiny. This is not so. Since all actions are THEMSELVES destiny. This has a LOT of proof from shastra. That nobody scapes karma.
    If happens you purify your past evil karmas, that was NOT outside what was ordained according to previous karma, since it may not be true that you only did evil in your past life. Even if God comes to help you, is ONLY ONLY ONLY if it is written in the persons destiny due to his Godly actions. What Action can do is to GraduallY redirect, by the constant flow of good directed efforts, in the long way the mathematical FINAL result of many actions performed in the Big Picture. But this means to adhere to Dharm, which is never AN ACTION, but a philosophy, and so, the person MUST have in his destiny the posibility to adhere otherwise.... how would you change? You must have the open port to connect with certain ideals and knowledges of various sorts. But again, this necesity proves the presence of previous Sat Karm, otherwise how a person is born with Sattva and good inclination without THAT being permited by God due to the persons Karmas. In this connection, if that person would not have performed certain actions, he would not have attained certain mind and capacities, and the result would have been other. He changed his destiny, but that was only due to his own actions, but in past life. In this life, if you change something then is always due to acquired rewards. Meaning Destiny. All is destiny and nothing more than that. Otherwise there would not be a specific order in the universe, thing would popup without remote Upadan causation, only present causation, nimita, and that is not Vedic thinking.
    What pujyapaad maharishi Shukraacarya is saying is that for a person that helps himself he can get beyond what HE believes can get. But God only helps does who help themselves. The other thing is that there is NO sins that cannot be attone technically. But if you do not start in proper time the purification God will NOT HELP YOU OUT the whole problem. This is also from shastra. You keep on wasting time and doing sadhana after lot of adharm and laziness or merely ashradha. It will take MORE TIME to recover the purity. Meaning results (even spiritual from God) are obtained ONLY acording to destiny marked by actions in this case bad ones. All in his due TIME. By the kripa of God, those who have had the desire to attain good position, although this maybe very far away, if they have the SEED of Faith, to accept good long term path. Hari Hari Om
