Shukra’s Tapasya: Light from the Underworld is a journey where mythology and astronomy converge. From Shukracharya’s penance beneath the gaze of Lord Shiva to the blazing mysteries of the planet Venus, this book unveils the eternal bond between divine struggle and cosmic wonder. Rich in symbolism, it reveals how smoke, fire, resurrection, and inversion in myth mirror the scorching, clouded, and retrograde world of Venus.
A tale of devotion, endurance, and celestial truth, Shukra invites readers to step into a universe where gods, planets, and stories of rebirth shine with timeless meaning.
