Obscenity in Vedas

Written by Sulaiman Razvi

Vulgarity in Vedas is already discussed in the article Obscenity in Vedas. In this

article I shall deal with vulgarities in other Hindu scriptures. Talking about sexuality is
the most favorite topic of Hindus. Obviously it’s rooted in their genes. Hindu fanatics
enjoy a lot mocking others religions with fake references and the only solution to this
seems to be showing some facts about their gods and sages from their own books. As I
said in the article Obscenity in Vedas, I have no intention to mock Hindu religious
personalities or hurt the sentiments of Hindus. But after seeing their mockery of other
religions it looks like just a refutation to Hindu fanatics isn’t enough, Hinduism has to
be decoded to show those fanatics what they follow. Hindu fanatics just by watching
epic movies like Mahabharata and Ramayana on television start believing Hinduism to
be the most decent religion and are in the delusion that Hindu gods were the greatest
being on earth.

As a matter of fact Hindu gods were no different than present Swamis and other Hindu
priests who are caught in rape and murder cases. Today it’s only because of media,
open mindedness of women and excellent work of police that all these Swamis are
caught red handed. But police and media weren’t there back then, but the shameless
act of their gods is well preserved in their own scriptures. If a religion can be blamed
for terrorism only because of its few followers then why Hinduism shouldn’t be
blamed for the rapists Swamis who are caught once every month. After all Swamis are
representatives of Hindu religion, then why spare them. Rape and Murder has become
like an eligibility to become Swami. I was embarrassed to write this article because
many verses are so obscene that it cannot be discussed openly. Nowadays Hindus are
very actively insulting other religions on the internet, This compelled me to write this
article.

Description of Women
Hindu texts’ description of Women is an insult to all women. It insults women in the
following way,

Mahabharata 13.40 “Bhishma said, ‘It is even so as thou sayest, O thou of mighty
arms. There is nothing untrue in all this that thou sayest, O thou of Kuru’s race, on the
subject of women. In this connection I shall recite to thee the old history of how in
days of yore the high-souled Vipula had succeeded in restraining women within the
bounds laid down for them. I shall also tell thee, O king, how women were created by
the Grandsire Brahman and the object for which they were created by Him. There is
no creature more sinful, O son, than women. Woman is a blazing fire. She is the
illusion, O king, that the Daitya Maya created. She is the sharp edge of the razor. She
is poison. She is a snake. She is fire. She is, verily, all these united together. It has
been heard by us that all persons of the human race are characterised by righteousness,
and that they, in course of natural progress and improvement, attain to the status of
deities. This circumstance alarmed the deities. They, therefore, O chastiser of foes,
assembled together and repaired to the presence of the Grandsire. Informing Him of
what was in their minds, they stood silent in his presence, with downcast eyes. The
puissant Grand sire having ascertained what was in the hearts of the deities, created
women, with the aid of an Atharvan rite. In a former creation, O son of Kunti, women
were all virtuous. Those, however, that sprang from this creation by Brahman with the
aid of an illusion became sinful. The grandsire bestowed upon them the desire of
enjoyment, all kinds of carnal pleasure. Tempted by the desire of enjoyment, they
began to pursue persons of the other sex. The puissant lord of the deities created
Wrath as the companion of Lust. Persons of the male sex, yielding to the power of
Lust and Wrath, sought the companionship of women. Women have no especial acts
prescribed for them. Even this is the ordinance that was laid down. The Sruti declares
that women are endued with senses the most powerful, that they have no scriptures to
follow, and that they are living lies.” Tr. Kisari Mohan Ganguli

This passage from Mahabharata shows that in the beginning all men were righteous
and due to their righteousness they were going to attain the status of Deity. But Hindu
gods were afraid and wondered how to stop them and for this reason they created
women. Although the creator of the universe Brahma himself lusted after his own
daughter. This shows that women have no especial acts prescribed and are created
only to make men fall from righteousness. The next passage is from Srimad
Bhagavatam which is also known as Bhagvad Purana,

Srimad Bhagavatam 9.14.36-38 ”Urvasi said: My dear King, you are a man, a hero.
Don’t be impatient and give up your life. Be sober and don’t allow the senses to
overcome you like foxes. Don’t let the foxes eat you. In other words, you should not
be controlled by your senses. Rather, you should know that the heart of a woman is
like that of a fox. There is no use making friendship with women. Women as a class
are merciless and cunning. They cannot tolerate even a slight offense. For their own
pleasure they can do anything irreligious, and therefore they do not fear killing even a
faithful husband or brother. Women are very easily seduced by men…” Tr. Swami
Prabhupada

The description of women given by another Apsara to a Sage named Narada is also an
insult, I won’t highlight those ugly words,

Shiva Purana, UmaSamhita 5.24.16-36 ”There is none more sinning and more sinful
than women. Women are at the root of all sins…Women usually do not observe the
limitations of conventional decency. If at all they stand by them with their husbands it
is because no man makes advances to them or because they are afraid of their
husbands…They carry on their dalliances with any man ugly or beautiful…Even
women of noble families aspire for the life of lascivious women who in their prime of
youth adorned with lovable ornaments and beautiful wearing garments move about
frivolously…Women become desperate when they do not get men…women are not
satiated with the number of men they cohabit with. O excellent sage, there is another
secret of all women that immediately on seeing a man their vaginal passage begins to
exude slimy secretions. On seeing a man fresh and clean from his bath with his body
perfumed with sweet scents, the vaginal passage of women begins to exude like water
dripping from a leather bag…on hearing her words Narada was satisfied in his mind.
Considering it to be the truth.” Tr. Board of Scholars, Edited by Jagdish Lal Shastri

The entire chapter 24 of Shiva Purana is dedicated in insulting women. Had this been
the personal views of Apsara there wouldn’t be an entire chapter for this and even
Sage Narada considered it to be truth and was satisfied by her words. The founder of
ISKCON Swami Prabhupada writes,

”The heavenly pleasure for the conditioned soul is sexual pleasure, and this pleasure is
tasted by the genitals. The woman is the object of sexual pleasure, and both the sense
perception of sexual pleasure and the woman are controlled by the Prajapati, who is
under the control of the Lord’s genitals…” A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada on
Srimad Bhagavatam 2.10.26 [ http://vanisource.org/wiki/SB_2.10.26 ]

Mahabharata 5.39.67 ”The fruits of the Vedas are ceremonies performed before the
(homa) fire; the fruits of an acquaintance with the scriptures are goodness of
disposition and conduct. The fruits of women are the pleasures of intercourse and
offspring.” Tr. K.M. Ganguli

I shall not indulge further in what Hindu scriptures say about women. An entire book
can be written on this issue. As for now these references will suffice. So in short
women are like sly fox, cunning, poisonous snakes, sex maniac, bad luck, destitute of
knowledge and intelligence, can’t inherit property… But are object of lust and a child
production factory. Read the article Women in Hinduism for more information.

Drag woman by hair, rape: RSS member’s advice on teaching Hinduism

https://www.firstpost.com/india/drag-woman-by-hair-rape-rss-members-advice-on-
teaching-hinduism-1643011.html

Swami Prabhupada the founder of ISKCON writes,

”…In this regard, the word vikhyātam is very significant. A man is always famous for
his aggression toward a beautiful woman, and such aggression is sometimes
considered rape. Although rape is not legally allowed, it is a fact that a woman likes a
man who is very expert at rape.” A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada on Srimad
Bhagavatam 4.25.41 [ http://vanisource.org/wiki/SB_4.25.41 ]

Readers are requested to read the commentary on next verse also after going to the
above given link. Swami Prabhupada also writes,

”Both man and woman desire one another; that is the basic principle of material
existence. Women in general always keep themselves beautiful so that they can be
attractive to their lusty husbands. When a lusty husband comes before his wife, the
wife takes advantage of his aggressive activities and enjoys life. Generally when a
woman is attacked by a man-whether her husband or some other man—she enjoys the
attack, being too lusty…”A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhu on Srimad Bhagavatam
4.26.26 [ http://vanisource.org/wiki/SB_4.26.26 ]

Is it really true that women enjoy been raped? And does she really like rapists? What
made such a great scholar like Swami Prabhupada utter this? Well, actually almost
every Hindu god raped women, Below are some references. Almost every rapist
Hindu scholar claims to be incarnation of Krishna,

VISHNU

Vishnu is said to have raped Tulsi/Vrinda by assuming the guise of her husband. What
can be more disgusting than a god raping a chaste lady. And much worse is the
celebration of this rape as a festival, yes you read it right. Hindus proudly celebrates
rape of Vrinda by Vishnu as a festival called Tulsi Vivah.

Shiva Purana, Rudra Samhita 2, Yudha Khanda 5, Ch 23.38-45 ”On seeing her
husband, Vrnda too was delighted. She forgot her sorrow. She considered everything a
dream. Delighted in the heart and with all the dormant passions kindled up, she
sported with him for many days in the middle of that forest. Once at the end of the
sexual intercourse she realised that it was Visnu. Vrnda rebuked him angrily and
spoke thus. Vrnda said:—Fie on this misdeed of Visnu in outraging the modesty of
another man’s wife. I have now realised you as the wielder of illusion, appearing in
the guise of an ascetic. Sanatkumara said:—O Vyasa, saying thus in great anger she
showed her brilliant powers as a staunch chaste lady by cursing Visnu. “O base foe of
the Daityas, defiler of other people’s virtue, O wicked one, take this curse from me,
greater in force than all persons. The two persons whom you made to appear in front
of me shall become Raksasas and abduct your wife. You will be distressed on account
of separation from your wife roaming about with Sesa ‘lord of snakes’ who posed as
your disciple here. You will seek the help of monkeys in the forest.” Tr. Board of
Scholars, Edited by Jagdish Lal Shastri

This story is also supported by Skanda Purana II.iv.21-10-24, Shiva Purana, Rudra
Samhita 2, Yudha Khanda 5, Ch 41 verses 1-35, Brahma Vaivarta Purana, Prakriti
Khanda 21.18-31 and also mentioned in Devi Bhagavatam 9.24.14-22 with a slight
variation, readers can check Devi Bhagavatam verses which are available online at
Sacred-texts.com. I will avoid posting the same story from different scriptures as I
don’t want to flood this article with several passages. The variation of this story is in
only in names, the name of Tulasi also appears as Vrinda and her husband’s
Shankachuda’s name is replaced by Jalandhar.
This poor lady named Vrinda/Tulasi was a devotee of Vishnu, it must have been so
disheartening for her to be raped by the man whom she worshipped so devotedly
everyday. As per Shiva Purana, Rudra Samhita section 5, Ch 41.3-5 Vishnu assumed
the form of her husband and raped her on the behest of Shiva. It was Shiva who
ordered such heinous act. This was done in order to kill her husband in the battlefield,
it is said that her husband Shankachuda/Jalandhar couldn’t be killed unless the chastity
of his wife is outraged. Shiva is part of Trimurti and is considered the Destroyer but
Shiva the so called Destroyer couldn’t destroy Jalandhar/Shankachuda so he
commanded Vishnu to go and rape Vrinda/Tulsi. She cursed Vishnu to become a rock
and that in his next incarnation (as Rama) his wife (Sita) will be kidnapped by a
demon and he will have to seek help of monkeys (Hanuman/VanarSena). As per this
story Ravana made no mistake by kidnapping Sita the wife of Rama, as this was
already destined to happen. And was a result of Ram’s past deeds (rape of
Vrinda/Tulasi).

INDRA

Well, If you are thinking that such an act can’t be done by a person like Indra then you
are absolutely wrong. Indra was very popular among gods and sages for ravishing
others’ wives and had done this to Ahalya by assuming the form of her husband Sage
Gautama,

Skanda Purana V.iii.136.2-16 ”There was a Brahmana named Gautama who was like
another Brahma. He was endowed with truthfulness and piety. He was engrossed in
the Vanaprastha stage of life. His blessed wife named Ahalya was very famous in all
the three worlds as a woman endowed with beauty and prime of youth. Satakratu
[Indra], the king of Devas, was infatuated by the exceptional beauty of Ahalya. The
Slayer of Bala, therefore, tempted her. ”O beautiful lady of uncensured features, resort
to me, the king of Devas, Sport about with me. You shall be one honoured in all the
three worlds. What will you do with this Brahmana who has become lean and
emaciated due to his over-zealousness for purity and conventional rites and austerities
and Vedic studies! O lady of beautiful eyes, you must be rather undergoing sufferings
now.”…Getting an opportunity, he assumed the excellent guise of the sage and
carnally delighted Ahalya who believed (that he was Gautama) in the inner apartment.
Within a moment thereafter, O descendant of Bharata, the excellent sage hurriedly
entered the apartment. On seeing Gautama come Purandara [Indra] became terrified
and he went out. Seeing him he thought (knew) that it was Sakra. So Gautama became
highly enraged and he cursed Devendra: ”Since you could not control your senses, be
one with a thousand vaginal apertures.” On being cursed thus, Devendra was instantly
covered with a thousand vaginal apertures.” Tr. Ganesh Vasudeo Tagare

This story is also mentioned in Brahma Purana, Gautami-Mahatmya Part IV.16.39-44

and Brahma Vaivarta Purana, Krishna Janma Khanda chapter 61. When Indra saw
sage Gautama going out with his disciples, he took it as an opportunity and raped
Ahalya by assuming Gautama’s form and Ahalya wasn’t aware of this fact, As per
Brahma Purana Gautami-Mahatmya part IV.16.51 she asked Indra ‘who are you’ and
she suddenly got up from the bed. When Gautama caught Indra’s licentious act he
cursed Indra. The curse on Indra by Gautama is quite funny. As a result of the curse
Indra lost his testicles and penis and also had one thousand marks of vagina all over
his body,

Brahma Purana, Gautami-Mahatmya 16.59 Gautama said:- ”Sin has been committed
by you due to your passion for the vagina. Hence become a person with a thousand
vaginas in your body”. Tr. Board of Scholars, Edited by J.L. Shastri

Mahabharata 12.343.19-57 ”In consequence of his licentious assault on Ahalya, Indra

was cursed by Gautama, her husband, through which Indra got a green beard on his
face. Through that curse of Kausika Indra lost, also, his own testicles, which loss was
afterwards (through the kindness of the other deities) made up by the substitution of
the testicles of a ram.” Tr. K.M. Ganguli

This is also mentioned in,

Brahmanda Purana 1.2.27.23 ”Formerly, the penis of Indra along with his scrotum, O
sage conversant with virtue, was made to fall down on the earth by the infuriated sage
Gautama.” Tr. Ganesh Vasudeo Tagare

Swami Prabhupada writes,

”…Once he [Indra] raped the wife of Gautama Muni by using his disappearing art, and
similarly by becoming invisible he stole the horse of Maharaja Prthu….” A.C.
Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada on Srimad Bhagawatam 4.24.5
[ http://vanisource.org/wiki/SB_4.24.5 ]

Indra somehow got the scrotum of a ram fixed in his body, and the marks of thousand
vaginas were later turned into thousand visions.

SHIVA

Srimad Bhagavatam 8.12.26-30 ”The beautiful woman was already naked, and when
She saw Lord Siva coming toward Her, She became extremely bashful. Thus She kept
smiling, but She hid Herself among the trees and did not stand in one place. His senses
being agitated, Lord Siva, victimized by lusty desires, began to follow Her, just as a
lusty elephant follows a she-elephant. After following Her with great speed, Lord Siva
caught Her by the braid of Her hair and dragged Her near him. Although She was
unwilling, he embraced Her with his arms. Being embraced by Lord Siva like a female
elephant embraced by a male, the woman, whose hair was scattered, swirled like a
snake. O King, this woman, who had large, high hips, was a woman of yogamaya
presented by the Supreme Personality of Godhead. She released Herself somehow or
other from the fond embrace of Lord Siva’s arms and ran away.” Tr. Swami
Prabhupada

Although this is not a rape but if a man does this in the present age he would surely be
put behind the bars for attempt to rape. Above verses are explained briefly in the
LGBT section. This is Shiva’s rape of Vishnu (Mohini).

SOMA

Srimad Bhagavatam 9.14.4 ”After conquering the three worlds [the upper, middle and
lower planetary systems], Soma, the moon-god, performed a great sacrifice known as
the Rājasūya-yajña. Because he was very much puffed up, he forcibly kidnapped
Bṛhaspati’s wife, whose name was Tara”. Tr. Swami Prabhupada

Brahma Vaivarta Purana, Krishna Janma Khanda 80.9-19 ”[Tara to Soma]…And if

you commit rape with me, you will surely be guilty of woman slaughter. But when the
Moon, without minding her words was about to commit rape with her, the
dispassionate chaste woman cursed him thus…In spite of the curse however, the
Moon, held her and associated with her. Afterwards, holding the sorrowful, weeping
wife of the Guru in his lap, he left that place.” Tr. Rajendra Nath Sen

It is also mentioned in Brahmanda Purana 2.3.72.29. Brihaspati is considered the Guru

of all Gods. Soma without thinking about violating the bed of guru raped the
preceptor’s wife. But Brihaspati was not an angel, he too raped a woman.

BRIHASPATI

Brihaspati the Guru of all Gods raped his own pregnant sister in law named Mamata.
A man with what kind of heart would do that,

Matsya Purana 49.17-28 ”Suta said:- Brihaspati, whilst staying on Earth, one day saw
the wife of his brother, Usija, who was big with child, and addressed her thus:- ”Dress
thyself well and let us enjoy.” She, being thus addressed, replied to Brihaspati thus:-
”The embryo in my womb is mature and is already reciting the Vedas. Thy seed will
also not be fruitless and thy proposal is sinful.” Hearing which, Brihaspati said:- ”I
need not to be taught morality by thee, O sweet one.” After saying that, he carried out
his desire by force…” Tr. Taluqdar of Oudh, Edited by B.D. Basu

This rape is also mentioned in Vayu Purana Part 2, 37.140 and Mahabharata Adi
Parva 1.104 but the translator K.M. Ganguli has translated those particular lines of
Mahabharata in Latin language. This story of Mamata’s rape is also mentioned in
Srimad Bhagavatam,

Srimad Bhagavatam 9.20.36 ”When the demigod named Bṛhaspati was attracted by
his brother’s wife, Mamata, who at that time was pregnant, he desired to have sexual
relations with her. The son within her womb forbade this, but Bṛhaspati cursed him
and forcibly discharged semen into the womb of Mamata.” Tr. Swami Prabhupada
Rape of Mamata is also mentioned in Brahmanda Purana 2.3.74.37-42. It was like a
battle of rape going on between Hindu gods like Soma, Indra and Brihaspati. All of
them raped women which is also mentioned in Purana in one single passage,

Devi Bhagavatam 4.15.59-64 ”Look! The Moon stole away per force knowingly the
wife of Brihaspati; Indra, knowing what is religion stole away the wife of Gautama;
Brihaspati enjoyed forcibly the wife of his younger; and also he outraged his elder
brother’s wife in her pregnant state and cursed the boy in the womb…” Tr. Swami
Vijnananda

VARUNA

Varuna is the god of water. He is praised in several hymns of the Vedas. A story
mentioned in the Mahabharata tells Varuna’s rape of Bhadra the another wife of
Utathya,

Mahabharata 13.154.10-17 ”…’Hear now, O king, the story of Utathya who was born
in the race of Angiras. The daughter of Soma, named Bhadra, came to be regarded as
unrivalled in beauty. Her sire Soma regarded Utathya to be the fittest of husbands for
her…the handsome Varuna had, from a long time before, coveted the girl. Coming to
the woods where Utathya dwelt, Varuna stole away the girl when she had plunged into
the Yamuna for a bath. Abducting her thus, the Lord of the waters took her to his own
abode…There, within that palace, the Lord of waters; O king, sported with the damsel.
A little while after, the fact of the ravishment of his wife was reported to Utathya…”
Tr. K.M. Ganguli

SURYA

Surya is the Sun-God and several hymns of Vedas are dedicated to him. He raped the
virgin Kunti. Kunti was just examining her mystic power and the sun god appeared
before her and was smitten with passion after seeing young and beautiful Kunti and
then raped her.

Devi Bhagavatam 2.6.13-35 ”…Surya Deva said :– “O Kunti! What for you called me,
by virtue of the Mantra? Calling me, why do you not worship me, standing before
you? O beautiful blue one! Seeing you, I have become passionate; so come to me. By
means of the mantra, you have made me your subservient so take me for intercourse.”
Hearing this, Kunti said:– “O Witness of all! O knower of Dharma! You know that I
am a virgin girl. O Suvrata! I bow down to you; I am a family daughter; so do not
speak ill to me.” Surya then said :– “If I go away in vain, I will be an object of great
shame, and, no doubt, will be laughed amongst the gods; So, O Kunti! If you do not
satisfy me, I will immediately curse you and the Brahmin who has given you this
mantra. O Beautiful one! If you satisfy me, your virginity will remain; no body will
come to know and there will be born a son to you, exactly like me.” Thus saying Surya
Deva enjoyed the bashful Kunti, with her mind attracted towards him; He granted her
the desired boons and went away. The beautiful Kunti became pregnant and began to
remain in a house, under great secrecy. Only the dear nurse knew that; her mother or
any other person was quite unaware of the fact. In time, a very beautiful son like the
second Sun and Kartikeya, decked with a lovely Kavacha coat of mail and two ear-
rings, was born there.” Tr. Swami Vijnananda

Their conversation is mentioned in detail in Srimad Bhagavatam,

Srimad Bhagavatam 9.24.33-36 As soon as Kunti called for the demigod of the sun, he
immediately appeared before her, and she was very much surprised. She told the sun-
god, “I was simply examining the effectiveness of this mystic power. I am sorry I have
called you unnecessarily. Please return and excuse me.” The sun-god said: O beautiful
Pritha, your meeting with the demigods cannot be fruitless. Therefore, let me place my
seed in your womb so that you may bear a son. I shall arrange to keep your virginity
intact, since you are still an unmarried girl. After saying this, the sun-god discharged
his semen into the womb of Pritha and then returned to the celestial kingdom.
Immediately thereafter, from Kunti a child was born, who was like a second sun-god.
Because Kunti feared people’s criticisms, with great difficulty she had to give up her
affection for her child. Unwillingly, she packed the child in a basket and let it float
down the waters of the river. O Maharaja Parikshit, your great-grandfather the pious
and chivalrous King Pandu later married Kunti.” Tr. Swami Prabhupada

This son was later known as Karna. Kunti somehow tried to resist the rape by warning
him not to do this, by telling him that she is from a good family, she was only
examining her powers, she is a virgin but all in vain. When Surya thought his sweet
words are not going to seduce Kunti he threatened to curse her as a last resort. Poor
Kunti had no choice but to get raped by the sun god. Surya devoid of any morality
didn’t even care about rape and adultery, He just wanted to relieve his desire
forcefully and went away but the poor Kunti had to pay the price for this act. As Kunti
was not ready for all these things, she had to abandon her illegitimate child to avoid a
bad name for her family and embarrassment. Kunti later married King Pandu. And
after her marriage the Sun god again had sex with Kunti but this time it was a
consensual sex which is explained in the Niyoga Section. The series of rape by the sun
god doesn’t end her, He is said to have raped his own wife. He assumed another form
and approached her. She tried to resist the rape but the Sun god successfully carried
out his act. This is explained in the Oral Sex Section.

ASHWINKUMARA

Ashvinkumara was the son of the Sun God. He is said to have raped a Brahmin lady
and impregnated her.

Brahma Vaivarta Purana, Brahma Kanda, 10.125-134 Saunaka was astonished at the
words of Sauti and said, ‘Sir, what irony of fate led Aswinkumara, the offspring of the
sun, to copulate with a Brahmin woman? Kindly narrate this incident and gratify my
curiosity” Santi, the best of saints replied, ”O best of Munis, impossible are the ways
of Providence . Once upon a time, this tranquil, strong offspring of the sun was
enamoured of a Brahmin woman while she was going out on pilgrimage. Though he
was dissuaded by her again and again he forcibly took her to a grove, ravished and
impregnated her. The lady, bewildered with shame and fear caused her own
miscarriage…” Tr. Rajendra Nath Sen

Like father like son. Modern day examples of Surya and Ashvinkumara are Asaram
and his son Sai Narayana who are both convicted of raping women. Had these father-
son duo (Asaram-Narayan) existed in Vedic period they would have been worshiped
by the people.

BRAHMA

Brahma the creator is said to have raped his own daughter Saraswati. It
is explained in detail in the article Brahma’s incestuous relationship
with his daughter.

RAPE AND ABDUCTION IS LEGITIMIZED

The Hindu scripture lists several forms of marriages, one of them is known as
Rakshasa marriage. Rape and abduction of females is legitimized under this form of
marriage. Maharshi Manu explains Rakshasa marriage in the following way,

Manu Smriti 3.33 The forcible abduction of a maiden from her home, while she cries
out and weeps, after (her kinsmen) have been slain or wounded and (their houses)
broken open, is called the Rakshasa rite.

Swami Prabhupada writes,

”…There are other kinds of marriage, such as gāndharva marriage and marriage by
love, which are also accepted as marriage. Even if one is forcibly kidnapped and later
on accepted as a wife, that is also accepted…” A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada
on Srimad Bhagawatam 3.22.15 [ http://vanisource.org/wiki/SB_3.22.15 ]

This form of marriage is permitted for the Kshatriya caste,

Manu 3.24 ”The four forms (of Marriage) the seers have ordained as proper for
Brahmanas; only the Rakshasa form as proper for Kshatriyas, and the A’sura form as
proper for Vais’yas and S’udras.” Tr. M.N. Dutt

It is also mentioned in Mahabharata,

Mahabharata 1.73.8-11 ”…There are, in all, eight kinds of marriages. These are
Brahma, Daiva, Arsha, Prajapatya, Asura, Gandharva, Rakshasa, and Paisacha, the
eighth. Manu, the son of the self-create, hath spoken of the appropriateness of all these
forms according to their order. Know, O faultless one, that the first four of these are fit
for Brahmanas, and the first six for Kshatriyas. As regards kings, even the Rakshasa
form is permissible. The Asura form is permitted to Vaisyas and Sudras. Of the first
five the three are proper, the other two being improper. The Paisacha and the Asura
forms should never be practised. These are the institutes of religion, and one should
act according to them. The Gandharva and the Rakshasa form are consistent with the
practices of Kshatriyas…” Tr. K.M. Ganguli

Brihadarayaka Upanishad also promotes rape,

Brihadaranyaka Upanishad 6.4.7 ”If she does not willingly yield her body to him, he
should buy her with presents. If she is still unyielding, he should strike her with a stick
or with his hand and overcome her, repeating the following mantra: “With power and
glory I take away your glory.” Thus she becomes discredited.” Tr. Swami
Nikhilananda
As far as enjoying numerous women is concerned, the Brahmins exclusively enjoy this
right through Niyoga. Which we have already read in the article Obscenity in Vedas.

Hinduism blames the victim in case of rape, it says that by getting rape the woman
incurs sin. Women have always been made to suffer in case of rape. When Ahalya was
raped by Vedic god Indra, Ahalya’s husband Gautama Rishi didn’t accept Ahalya
rather he cursed her. Sita too had to burn herself in Agni Pariksha because she was
suspected of committing infidelity with Ravana who had abducted her.

Parasara Smriti 10.25-26 “A woman forcibly ravished by a man, in captivity, as well

as she, who accommodates a man on account of being physically over-powered, or out
of a sense of danger to her life, should regain her purity by practising a Santapanam
penance. This is what has been enjoined by Parasara. A woman, who having been
once ravished by another man, turns back with repugnance from the path of inequity,
should expiate her sin by practising a Prajapatya penance, whereby she would be pure
after her next monthly period.” Tr. Manmatha Nath Dutt

Virgins in Heaven

For people in heaven, Ishwar has arranged hundreds and thousands of Apsaras or
‘Harlot’ as per the term used by Hindus on this issue. Hindu fanatics try to make
mockery of Muslims on this issue but have they ever read what their scripture say
about it? Ironically for them having wives in heaven is a lusty concept but they are
okay with worshipping Krishna who had 16108 wives and numerous concubines.

Parashara Smriti 3.28-29 Celestial damsels seize for themselves, and take delight with
the hero, whose body is wounded or cut by arrows, clubs, or maces. Thousands of
celestial damsels, rush forward in a hurry towards a hero killed in battle, each
proclaiming, ‘He is my lord, he is mine’.

Parashara Smriti 3.31 If victorious, wealth is won; if death results, beautiful women
fall to his share; since this corporeal frame is liable to perish in an instant’s time, why
should we be shy of meeting death on a field of battle?

Mahabharata 12.98.46-51 ”Foremost of Apsaras, numbering by thousands, go out with

great speed (for receiving the spirit of the slain hero) coveting him for their lord.” Tr.
K.M. Ganguli

Hindu fanatics should somehow make sure that their wives’ doesn’t immolate
themselves in their funeral pyre. Because if the wife immolates with her husband then
he can’t enjoy Virgins in heaven,

Devi Bhagavatam 3.15.10-13 ”Some warriors on being slain in the battle instantly
arose in a celestial car to the heavens and was seen addressing the celestial nymph,
who came already within his embrace, thus “O one of beautiful thighs. Behold! how
my beautiful body is lying on the earth below!” Another warrrior thus slain got up in
the heavens on a celestial car, came in possession of a celestial nymph and when he
was sitting with her in the car, his former wife in the earth made herself a sati and
burnt herself up in the funeral pyre, thus got a celestial body, came up to the heavens;
and that chaste virtuous woman drew away perforce her own husband away from that
celestial nymph. Two warriors, went up, slew each other and lay down dead at the
same time. They went up in the heavens at the same time and there began quarrel with
each other and fight with their weapons for one and the same celestial nymph. Some
hero got in the heavens a nymph more lovely and beautiful than himself and he thus
became very much attached and devoted her. He began to describe his own heroic
qualities and also to copy dotedly the qualities of his lover so that she might remain
faithfully attached to him.” Tr. Swami Vijnananda

His fellow warriors enjoyed the virgins but this poor guy couldn’t because his wives
immolated herself in his pyre. And took him away forcibly from the celestial nymph
(Apsara).

Mahabharata 13.79.27 ”That man who habitually makes gifts of kine comes to be
regarded as the foremost of his species. When thus proceeding to Heaven, he is
received by a thousand celestial damsels of beautiful hips and adorned with handsome
robes and ornaments. These girls wait upon him there and minister to his delight. He
sleeps there in peace and is awakened by the musical laughter of those gazelle-eyed
damsels, the sweet notes of their Vinas, the soft strains of their Vallakis, and the
melodious tinkle of their Nupuras. ” Tr. K.M. Ganguli

people walk about in divine aerial chariots…They are adorned by the celestial

Swami Prabhupada wrote,

“People in general are not very intelligent, and due to their ignorance they are most
attached to the fruitive activities recommended in the karma-kāṇḍa portions of the
Vedas. They do not want anything more than sense gratificatory proposals for
enjoying life in heaven, where wine and women are available and material opulence is
very common…They are generally sensual, and they do not want anything other than
the heavenly pleasures of life. It is understood that there are gardens called nandana-
kānana in which there is good opportunity for association with angelic, beautiful
women and having a profuse supply of somarasa wine. Such bodily happiness is
certainly sensual; therefore there are those who are purely attached to material,
temporary happiness, as lords of the material world.” Swami Prabhupada on Gita
2.42-43
vanisource.org/wiki/BG_2.42-43_(1972)

Who are the Apsaras (Nymphs/Heavenly Virgins)?

Devi Bhagavatam 9.1.96-143 ”…those that are sprung from Tamo Guna are
recognised as worst and belonging to the unknown families. They are very scurrilous,
cheats, ruining their families, fond of their own free ways, quarrelsome and no
seconds are found equal to them. Such women become prostitutes in this world and
Apsaras in the Heavens…” Tr. Swami Vijnananda

In other words Ishwar provides the Dvijas (Brahmins, Kshatriyas, Vaisyas) with
numerous prostitutes in heaven. Especially for those who are slain in the battlefield.

Gods and Rishis Lusting after Women

Gods and Rishis lusted after women. Despite their old age they were still aroused by
seeing young girls. How can I forget to mention Indra in this list after all he frequently
lust after others wives, I am not saying this but a Sage himself had said,

INDRA

Mahabharata 13.40.13-18 ”…The Creator himself is incapable of restraining them

within the limits that are proper: what need then be said of men? This, O chief of men,
I heard in former days, viz., how Vipula had succeeded in protecting his preceptor’s
spouse in ancient times. There was in days of yore a highly blessed Rishi of the name
of Devasarman of great celebrity. He had a wife, Ruchi by name, who was unequalled
on earth for beauty. Her loveliness intoxicated every beholder among the deities and
Gandharvas and Danavas. The chastiser of Paka, viz., Indra, the slayer of Vritra, O
monarch, was in particular enamoured of her and coveted her person. The great ascetic
Devasarman was fully cognisant of the disposition of women. He, therefore, to the
best of his power and energy, protected her (from every kind of evil influence). The
Rishi knew that Indra was restrained by no scruples in the matter of seeking the
companionship of other people’s wives. It was for this reason that he used to protect
his spouse, putting forth all his power…” Tr. K.M. Ganguli
So now I am free from all the allegations that I am using bad words against Indra, as
the Rishi himself has described the truth about Indra.

Indra in old age had lusted after another lady named Sukala, but she in anger insulted
him,

Padma Purana II.58.25-28a ”Sukala said:- Well being to you. I am protected by the
magnanimous sons of my husband, and by companions; so I am not at all alone. From
whom (then) do I have fear? I am protected by brave men everywhere. I do not have
much time to talk. I am engaged in my duty towards him. O you very intelligent one,
why do you not feel ashamed of dallying with me while your eyes are trickling (i.e.
while you are old). Who are you that you have come here, and are not afraid even of
death?” Tr. N.A. Deshpande

Indra addressed Ahalya the wife of Sage Gautama in the following way,

Brahma Vaivarta Purana, Krishna Janma Khanda 61.22-41 ”…What an indescribable

asceticism the great devotee Gautama had practiced by virtue of which he luckily
secured the possession of a very beautiful wife! By the worship of the eternal goddess
of Nature, (Parvati) who is the emblem of the spell of Visnu and by the adoration of
Kamala, he was undoubtedly secured a wife like Kamala having looks of a lotus, who
is a woman of the first four classes (Padmini), of slender waist, huge buttocks, hard
breast; of the colour of heated gold, of fine teeth and soft and pure complexion, the
touch of whose body is agreeably warm in winter and delightfully cool in summer.
Fair one, Cupid versed in sexual science or the lustful moon-god alone knows how to
cohabit with a damsel like you. How can Gautama resourceful only in meditations
know that? In sexual science I am a past-master, and on this score I am always
eulogised by the above named clever individuals and by the celestial whores Urvasi
etc. O nymph possessing an excellent face, I shall make Sachi your maid-servant…”
Tr. Rajendra Nath Sen

VISHNU

Narada Purana, Uttarabhaga 28.35-37 “Visnu whom people meditate upon and truly
remember, who is called Yogamurti (Embodiment of Yoga) and who is eternal, was
enamoured of courtesans…” Tr. G.V. Tagare

SHIVA

Shiva shamelessly went to the pine forest and seduced the wives of sages, He went to
the pine forest in Bhikshatana form readers can Google the image of Bhikshatana
which is fully nude with a snake tied around his waist,

Shiva Purana, Kotirudra Samhita 4.12.8-13 ”Once the leading Brahmin devotees of
Siva engrossed in the meditation of Siva went into the forest for bringing sacrificial
twigs. In the meantime Siva himself assuming a very hideous form came there in order
to test their devotion. He was very brilliant but stark naked. He had smeared ashes all
over his body as the sole ornament. Standing there and holding his penis he began to
show all sorts of vicious tricks. It was with a mind to do something pleasing to the
forest-dwellers that Siva, favourite of the devotees, came to the forest at his will. The
wives of the sages were extremely frightened at this sight. The other women excited
and surprised approached the lord. Some embraced him. Others held his hands. The
women were engrossed in struggling with one another. ” Tr. Board of Scholars, Edited
by J.L. Shastri

Skanda Purana V.iii.38.23-38 ”…One lady who was over proud of her beauty and
youthful form forgot to breast-feed her son lying on her lap. On seeing Mahadeva,
another lady became struck by the arrows of Kama. She pressed down her protruding
breasts with her arms…” Tr. Ganesh Vasudeo Tagare

Previous verses of Shiva Purana tells us that Shiva went there to test them. Although I
read the entire chapter again and again and failed to find what was his ‘Test’. As far as
my opinion on this issue is concerned, Shiva actually wanted to enjoy sages’ wives on
the pretext of test, just like Krishna stole the cloths of Gopis to watch them naked and
later gave a lame reason for this. My basis for this argument is the Dharmasamhita,
Purana and commentary by a renowned scholar,

‘When Siva failed to be satisfied by making love to Gauri, his wife, he then went
naked into the Pine forest in the guise of madman, his linga erect, his mind full of
desire, wishing to obtain sexual pleasures with the wives of the sages.’- Shiva Purana,
Dharmasamhita 10.187; 10.78-80 (Cited O’Flaherty 1973, p.173)

Nilakantha Chaturdhara on Mahabharata 13.17.42 ”It is known that Siva entered the
Pine Forest naked in order to entice the wives of the sages.”

Vamana Purana 6.26-30 “Pulsatya said, O Brahmana, after Sati the daughter of Daksa
had met her end, Sankara wrecked the sacrifice and wandered about. Then the flower-
armed Cupid detected Sankara and smit the widowed god with the maddening missile.
Pierced instantaneously with the maddening arrow, Hara became mad and roamed
about amidst forests and lakes. O Narada, recalling the memory of Sati and struck by
Unmada, Sankara had no peace of mind like an elephant pierced by an arrow. Then
Sankara fell into the waters of Yamuna. On Sankara falling into it, its water was
scorched and turned black. [43] Detecting from a distance the moaning and wailing
Sankara, Cupid bent his bow without any loss of time and pierced him through again,
with the arrow known as Santapana.” Tr. Anand Swarup Gupta

Vamana Purana 6.57-66 “Going there too Cupid saw Sankara, and Hara finding him
ready to strike, fled from that place. Then pursued by Cupid, Hara entered the frightful
pine forest where Rsis were settled with their consorts. And seeing him the Rsis hung
their heads. Then the Lord said to them, ‘Give me alms.’ O Narada, the great Rsis
remained silent then He then walked round the hermitages. Seeing him enter, the
wives of Bhargavas and Atreyas felt excited and completely lost their self-control,
excepting the unique Arundhati and the lady Anasuya, whose minds were
concentrated on the worship of their husbands. Wherever Sankara went women
became agitated and with their passion excited, they followed him. Leaving their own
hermitages vacant, the wives of the sages followed him, in the same way as the she-
elephants follow he-elephants. O sage, enraged at this sight the Rsis, Bhargavas and
Angirasas said ‘May his Linga drop down on the earth.’ Subsequently the Linga of the
deity dropped down and rending the earth and then the trident-holding Sankara
became invisible.” Tr. Anand Swarup Gupta

So it is proved that the purpose of Shiva going to the pine forest in nude state was only
to enjoy sages’ wives. For the sake of the argument let’s accept that Shiva’s motive
was really to test them. My question is, Is it befitting for a god to hold his erected
penis in hand and appear fully naked before chaste women? Imagine someone doing
this to your mother, sister or daughter, you will start beating the guy and this is what
the Rishis did, yes you read it right. Shiva was beaten up severely by the Rishis and
even his penis was torn off,

Kurma Purana II.38.52 ”The sages said: A certain highly brilliant person has entered
the holy Daruvana along with his wife, who was very beautiful in all her limbs. But he
was naked. The lordly person fascinated our entire women and daughters, with his
charming personality. While his beloved defiled our sons. We heaped various
imprecations and curses on him but they were defied and set at nought. He was beaten
soundly by us. His Linga was struck down.” Tr. G.V. Tagare

This story of Shiva been beaten up is supported by Brahmanda Purana

Brahmanda Purana I.2.27.45 ”He [Shiva] was scolded and beaten. His Linga (?penis)
was taken out. It is to alleviate his anger that we have sought refuge in you.” Tr. G.V.
Tagare

For brief explanation of this Linga story read the article Analysis of Lingam. Shiva
surely deserved to be beaten up for doing this vulgar act. But this wasn’t the full stop
of his shameless act, he did this again and was again beaten up,

Skanda Purana V.i.26.71-72”After the Manvantara came to a close and Vaivasvata

Manvantara arrived again, Mahesvara entered the sacrificial hall of Brahma with the
same guise of and insance person with erected penis. [75-77b] Other asked him
whether it was one of his Vratas and if so by whom was it demonstrated. They
continued: ”There are women here. How is it that this has been committed by you…
You are worthy of being killed by us today.” On being hit and hurt by the Brahmanas,
thus, Sankara, the great holy Lord, smiled and told all those Brahmanas: ”Why do you
hit me-a lunatic who has lost his senses? Tr. G.V. Tagare
What else can be said about such a person. I don’t have any words to describe such
shameless deed.

VISHWAKARMA

Vishwakarma was enamoured of a Apsara named Ghirtachi who was going for
pilgrimage. He invited her for having sex, but she refused. He even tried to rape her,
but she resisted the rape just by warning him about the consequences.

Brahma Vaivarta Purana, Brahma Khanda, 10.24-31 Sauti answered, ‘O best of saints,
once upon a time the celestial nymph Ghritachi, being extremely excited with passion
put on a lovely dress and proceeded in the direction of Puskara for pilgrimage iin the
mean time, Viswakarma cheefully arrived there from the solar region and suddenly
observed the sportive damsel. As soon as he saw her, he was pierced with the darts of
Cupid. Having lost all control over his will he demanded carnal intercourse from that
nymph…” Tr. Rajendra Nath Sen

ASHWINS

Ashwins lusted after the wife of old Rishi Chyavana named Sukanya.
They tried to seduce her but all in vain so at least they gave her an offer
that they will rejuvenate her old husband and in return she has to marry
one of them. After consulting with her husband she agreed. So Ashwins
told Chyavan to enter water so he entered the water. Ashwins were
playing tricks here and they too entered the water and when three of
them (two ashwins and Chyavana) came out of the water all of them
had the same appearance. And Rishi Chyvana was rejuvenated.
Ashwins made the same appearance in order to disflower Sukanya. This
story of Rishi Chyavana been rejuvenated is also mentioned in Rig
Veda, Nirukta, several Puranas and Pancavimsa Brahmana.

Mahabharata 3.123.1-9 “Lomasa said, ‘Once on a time, O king, those

celestials, namely the twin Aswins, happened to behold Sukanya, when
she had (just) bathed, and when her person was bare. And seeing that
one of excellent limbs, and like unto the daughter of the lord of
celestials, the nose-born Aswins neared her, and addressed her, saying,
‘O thou of shapely thighs, whose daughter art thou? And what doest
thou in this wood? O auspicious one, O thou of excellent grace, we
desire to know this, do thou therefore tell us.’ Thereupon she replied
bashfully unto those foremost of celestials. ‘Know me as Sarayati’s
daughter, and Chyavana’s wife…O thou of luminous smiles? O divinely
beautiful damsel, do thou, forsaking Chyavana accept one of us for
husband. It behoveth thee not to spend thy youth fruitlessly…” Tr. K.M.
Ganguli

SEVERAL GODS LUSTING AFTER URJA THE DAUGHTER

OF MOON GOD

Brahma Purana 110.13-15 ”When the holy god Moon did not see his daughter Urja, he
was upset. Where she may have gone? He thought to himself. The Soma came to
know the facts. He knew that manes were after her, that they were sexually inclined to
her and had accepted by the virtue of their penance. The moon was overcome with
anger.” Tr. Board of Scholars, Edited by J.L. Shastri

RISHIS

A sage named Chyavana was attracted to a Princess named Sukanya,

Mahabharata 3.122.1-11 “Lomasa said, ‘A son was born to the great saint Bhrigu,
Chyavana by name…Now after the lapse of a long space of time, that ruler of earth,
Saryati by name, for amusement visited this pleasant and excellent lake. With him
were four thousand females, espoused by him, O son of Bharata’s race! there was also
his only daughter endued with beautiful brows, named Sukanya. She surrounded by
her maids, and decked out with jewels fit for the celestials, while walking about,
approached the anthill where Bhrigu’s son was seated. And surrounded by her maids,
she began to amuse herself there, viewing the beautiful scenery, and looking at the
lofty trees of the wood. And she was handsome and in the prime of her youth; and she
was amorous and bent on frolicking. And she began to break the twigs of the forest
trees bearing blossoms. And Bhrigu’s son endued with intelligence beheld her
wandering like lightning, without her maids, and wearing a single piece of cloth and
decked with ornaments. And seeing her in the lone forest, that ascetic of exceeding
effulgence was inspired with desire. And that regenerate Rishi possessing ascetic
energy, who had a low voice, called the auspicious one,–but she heard him not.” Tr.
K.M. Ganguli

This is also mentioned in Srimad Bhagavatam 9.3. The Princess named Sukanya
accidentally harmed Rishi Chyavana who had assumed the form of an earth worm. He
was going to curse her, but then the king the father of Sukanya urged Chyavana not to
curse his daughter then Chyavana agreed on one condition that he should give his
daughter to him in marriage as he was sexually aroused on seeing her.

There is a story of another sage named Pippalada who was very old and had also
threatened to curse the king if he doesn’t give his daughter to him, unlike Chyavana he
wasn’t harmed at all by the Princess. He became lustful after seeing the beautiful
daughter of the king even in his old stricken age,

Shiva Purana, Satarudra Samhita 3.25.2-14 ”Once while going to the river
Pushpabhadra for his ablution, the great sage saw the beautiful youthful maiden
Padma, a part of Siva herself. Desirious of getting her, the sage traversing the world
and an expert in following the established conventions went to the abode of king
Anaranya, her father…The sage repeated the request, saying ”Give me your daughter
devoutly. Otherwise I will reduce everything to ashes along with you.”…Then the
king was much frightened and he lamented again and again. He gave his daughter
Padma, fully bedecked in ornaments to the old sage. After marrying her Padma, the
daughter of the king and part of Siva, the sage Pippalada joyously took her to his
hermitage… Then the excellent sage Pippalada, a part of Siva, became a young man
by means of his divine sport and sported with that young lady. Ten noble sons, all of
them great sons, were born to the sage.” Tr. Board of Scholars, Edited by J.L. Shastri

Another Sage named Suci was attracted to the wife of a Rakshasa,

Skanda Purana III.i.11.44-56 ”There was a sage named Suci in that forest. He was
engaged in penance and meditation. He was devoted to the study of the Vedas. That
lady of excellent complexion went to his hermitage. On seeing her the sage became
afflicted with erotic passion and he lost all his steadiness and composure. Approaching
the beautiful lady, the excellent sage spoke thus: Suci said:- O young lady, welcome to
you. O lady of bright smiles, whose wife are you? What is the task for which you have
come to this extremely dreadful forest? You are excessively tired. Stay within this hut
of mine. On being told thus, that lady of beautiful buttocks replied to the sage: ”O
sage, I am the wife of a Raksasa named Trivakra. I am Susila by name. I have come to
this forest with a desire to gather some flowers. I have no son, O sage. My husband
eagerly wishers for a son and hence I have been urged by him, ‘Propititate sage Suci
and get a son from him.’ On being directed by my husband thus, I have approached
you. Beget a son of me, O sage. Take pity on me.” On being told thus sage Suci spoke
to her thus: O Susila, I am highly delighted now on seeing you. Fulfil the ocean of the
wishes of mine. After saying thus the sage sported with her for three days. Then the
delighted sage said to Susila of beautiful features: ”You will have in your womb a
very powerful son named Kapalabharana.” Tr. G.V. Tagare

A sage Vedasiras ejaculated seeing an Apsara Suci, not to confuse this Suci as Sage
Suci,

Skanda Purana IV.ii.59.19-21 “Formerly there was a sage of great penance named
Vedasiras, born in the family of Bhrgu. It was as though he was another embodied
form of the Vedas. While that sage was performing the penance, Suci, the most
excellent one of the celestial damsels, endowed with beauty and well-shaped limbs
came into his view. Merely at her sight the mind of the sage became extremely
agitated. He had an emission of semen immediately. The excellent celestial damsel
became frightened.” Tr. G.V. Tagare

The sage said that semen should not go waste hence she must swallow
it. So she swallowed the semen and became pregnant with a baby girl
and the sage named her Dhutapapa.
Leave aside about those Rishis getting aroused on seeing beautiful girls, an old sage
named Saubhari was aroused just by seeing the sexual intercourse of fishes,

Srimad Bhagavatam 9.6.39-43 ”Saubhari Ṛṣi was engaged in austerity, deep in the
water of the river Yamuna, when he saw a pair of fish engaged in sexual affairs. Thus
he perceived the pleasure of sex life, and induced by this desire he went to King
Mandhata and begged for one of the King’s daughters. In response to this request, the
King said, “O brahmaṇa, any of my daughters may accept any husband according to
her personal selection.” Saubhari Muni thought: I am now feeble because of old age.
My hair has become grey, my skin is slack, and my head always trembles. Besides, I
am a yogi. Therefore women do not like me. Since the King has thus rejected me, I
shall reform my body in such a way as to be desirable even to celestial women, what
to speak of the daughters of worldly kings. Thereafter, when Saubhari Muni became
quite a young and beautiful person, the messenger of the palace took him inside the
residential quarters of the princesses, which were extremely opulent. All fifty
princesses then accepted him as their husband, although he was only one man.” Tr.
Swami Prabhupada

When the Sages possessing mystic powers can do these things then why can’t a
normal Brahmin do the same?

Brahma Purana 120.120-122. ”The Siddha roamed over the earth as he pleased. The
excellent lady Urvasi went to Varanasi and took her bath in the waters of Matsyodari
assuming her divine form. This foolish Brahman too had gone to the river Matsyodari.
On seeing Urvasi bathing there he was overwhelmed by passionate love that agitated
him too much.” Tr. Board of Scholars, Edited by J.L. Shastri

An old aged Brahmin was so aroused that he ordered his sons to get a woman to
satisfy him,

Padma Purana II.1.28-30 ”Having ordered the glorious one, devoted to this father, the
brahmana (i.e. Sivasarman), thinking of the second son, called (him viz.) Vedasarman
(and said to him): ”Go by my order; being stuperfied by passion of love (i.e. sex) I
cannot stand without a woman (by my side).” He presented, by means of his magical
power, a woman full of all charm (before Vedasarman). (He told him:0 ”O boy,
determined for me, bring this woman to me.” Tr. N.A. Deshpande

A sage named Ruru also lusted after a youthful girl,

Devi Bhagavatam 2.8.24-49 ”…the chief Apsara Menaka held sexual intercourse with
Visvavasu Gandharva on the banks of a river and became pregnant. She went out from
that place to the hermitage of Sthulakes’a on the river bank and gave birth to a very
beautiful daughter. Seeing this girl quite an orphan and very beautiful, the Muni
Sthulakes’a began to rear up her and named her Pramadvara. This all-auspicious girl
Pramadvara attained youth in due course when the Muni Ruru saw her and became
smitten with passion.” Tr. Swami Vijnananda

Bizarre Birth
The prime minister of India Narender Modi said that there must have
been some plastic surgeon who fixed the head of an elephant to
Ganesha and started the practice of plastic surgery. Well there were
many more ‘Scientific’ techniques used by Hindu gods and sages to
procreate children. We only know about test tube babies and surrogate
babies, but there were many kind of babies especially pot babies in
ancient India.

Srimad Bhagavatam 3.20.23 ”Lord Brahmā then gave birth to the demons from his
buttocks, and they were very fond of sex. Because they were too lustful, they
approached him for copulation.” Tr. Swami Prabhupada

Forget buttocks, babies can be born from male organs too,

Shiva Purana, Rudra Samhita 2, Yudha Khanda 5, Ch 14.1”It is by repeating this
mantra that Sukra came out of the belly of Siva through the penis, like the powerful
semen.” Tr. Board of Scholars, Edited by J.L. Shastri

Brahmanda Purana I.2.8.25 Since the lord [Brahma] created the Asuras at night from
his loins through the vital breaths, and as they were born during the night, they are
invincible during the night.

Brahma Vaivarta Purana, Brahma Khanda 5.56-66 ”…Thereafter, from the private
parts of Krisna, a mighty being of tawny colour with his companions came out and
inasmuch as they emanated from his private parts they are known by the name of
Guhyas, but the best and the mightiest of them is called Kuvera…” Tr. Rajendra Nath
Sen

Drinking semen can also lead to pregnancy,

Mahabharata 1.3 ”…The Rishi thus addressed, answered Janamejaya, ‘O Janamejaya,

this my son, deep in ascetic devotions, accomplished in the study of the Vedas, and
endued with the full force of my asceticism, is born of (the womb of) a she-snake that
had drunk my vital fluid…” Tr. K.M. Ganguli

Varaha Purana 95.20-21 ”Finding the water fragrant (with it), Mahismati told her
friends that she would drink it. She then drank the water containing the emission of the
sage. As a result she conceived and in due time brought forth, a son named Mahisa,
intelligent and valiant.” Tr. Venkitaasubramonia Iyer, edited by J.L. Shastri

Skanda Purana III.iii.19.64 The semen virile of the royal sage Yupaketu fell into
water. It is said that a harlot drank that water together with the semen and became
pregnant” Tr. G.V. Tagare

Skanda Purana III.iii.19.65 ”After drinking the semen of Sage Vibhandaka together
with water, a female deer became pregnant and gave birth to Rsyasrnga.” Tr. G.V.
Tagare

Skanda Purana V.iii.5.27-37 ”…O excellent king, Paramesthin Rudra sported about
with Uma in the vast expanse of sea-like water. A splendid girl was born out of the
sweat of Uma due to her delight. When Sarva’s chest pressed against the breasts of
Uma, a great girl of lotus-like eyes issued forth from the sweat…” Tr. G.V. Tagare

Vishnu Purana 4.2.13-17 “Yuvanaswa had no son, at which he was deeply grieved.
Whilst residing in the vicinage of the holy Munis, he inspired them with pity for his
childless condition, and they instituted a religious rite to procure him progeny. One
night during its performance the sages having placed a vessel of consecrated water
upon the altar had retired to repose. It was past midnight, when the king awoke,
exceedingly thirsty; and unwilling to disturb any of the holy inmates of the dwelling,
he looked about for something to drink. In his search he came to the water in the jar,
which had been sanctified and endowed with prolific efficacy by sacred texts, and he
drank it. When the Munis rose, and found that the water had been drunk, they inquired
who had taken it, and said, “The queen that has drunk this water shall give birth to a
mighty and valiant son.” “It was I,” exclaimed the Raja, “who unwittingly drank the
water!” and accordingly in the belly of Yuvanaswa was conceived a child, and it grew,
and in due time it ripped open the right side of the Raja, and was born, and the Raja,
did not die…” Tr. H.H. Wilson

Gods and Rishis Ejaculating

We hear from gullible Hindus about how pious Rishis were, that they practised
celibacy and didn’t even marry. This is not true, Gods had many wives and almost all
Rishis were married and had children. Leave aside marriage, Rishis even in their old
stricken age were so sexually aroused that just a sight of a beautiful girl resulted in
emission of semen. Some of the Sages include seven main Rishis like Bhardvaja,
Kratu, Vasista, Gautama etc. I will start mentioning about Gods and later of Rishis,

SHIVA

Srimad Bhagavatam 8.12.32-33 Just as a maddened bull elephant follows a female

elephant who is able to conceive pregnancy, Lord Siva followed the beautiful woman
and discharged semen, even though his discharge of semen never goes in vain. O
King, where so ever on the surface of the globe fell the semen of the great personality
of Lord Siva, mines of gold and silver later appeared.

Shiva is considered the ascetic god. Due to this emission of Shiva’s semen, the
monkey god Hanuman was also born which is explained in Adultery Section. Shiva
was so maddened about Mohini that he followed her in fully nude state and even
ejaculated. It is said that this happened before Parvati the wife of Shiva and her head
was lowered in shame because her husband was lusting after another woman in her
presence. This chapter of Srimad Bhagavatam is briefly explained in the LGBT
Section.

BRAHMA

Shiva Purana, Rudra Samhita 2, Sati Khanda 2, Ch 19.26-28 ”Then, O sage, afflicted
by the cupid and delighted in the heart of hearts, I [Brahma] lifted her veil and stared
into the face of Sati. I looked at the face of Sati many a time. I was helpless in curbing
the onset of a sensuous organism. Four drops of my semen virile got displaced and fell
on the ground like drops of dew as a result of staring into her face.”, Tr. Board of
Scholars, Edited by J.L. Shastri

This story is also supported by Brahma Purana Gautami-Mahatmya 3.15. As we all

know Brahma was an old man, he is sometimes considered the grandfather. But this
grandfather couldn’t even resist his desire seeing his granddaughter. He discharged
semen after seeing the face of Sati the wife of Shiva. Shiva came to know about this
and he was so agitated that he was about to kill Brahma. But Brahma later repented
and begged for forgiveness. Then Shiva forgave Brahma. Isn’t it ironic that Shiva
became angry just because Brahma ejaculated on seeing his wife but Shiva had no
problem at all commanding Vishnu to rape the chaste lady named Vrinda (Tulsi). As
we have already read that even Shiva ejaculated on seeing Mohini (Vishnu), Shiva
even tried to seduce sages’ wives after appearing naked. When Shiva can do all these
shameless things then why get angry when someone else does the same thing with
your wife? Hindu gods did the same act again and again, they did not consider it to be
wrong. Brahma is said to have ejaculated on seeing the wives of gods, Apsaras and
other women,

Vayu Purana, Part 2, 4.29-31 ”The brilliantly shining goddess Earth, the quarters, the
intermediate quarters, the Lords of quarters, the celestial virgins, the wives of Devas,
the mothers and Ayu all these were present there in embodied form in front of the
Lord (Brahma) who was performing the Yajna assuming the form of Varuna. On
seeing the ladies, the semen virile of Svayambhu fell on the ground…” Tr. G.V.
Tagare

Brahma Vaivarta Purana, Brahma Khanda 11-20 ”This Khma who wields the
following arrows, namely, killing. stupifying, soporific, emaciating and maddening,
experimentally discharged the arrrows on all and, at the desire of the Supreme Being
every one was excited with lust. To crown all, the great anchorite, Brahma looked with
wistful eyes at Rati and immediately his semen was discharged…” Tr. Rajendra Nath
Sen

Brahma had again ejaculated on seeing a nymph,

Brahma Vaivarta Purana, Krishna Janma Khanda 131.2-10 Subsequently at that place
nymphs who had sprung out of the body of Visnu and who were the digits of Visnu
began to dance and chant Visnu’s hymns in a melodious tone. The paternal
grandfather Brahma, observing their hard buttocks, thick spherical breasts and smiling
lotus faces, was excited with passion. He could not control his heart; his semen was
discharged; and out of shame he concealed it on the ground with his cloth. O Saunaka,
after the music was over, he threw the semen along with the cloth rendered hot by lust
into the sea of milk.” Tr. Rajendra Nath Sen

Is it befitting for gods to watch girls dancing? That too wearing such cloths or no
cloths at all? This gathering was also attended by Agni and he is also said to have
discharged his semen and tried to hide it in similar way.

AGNI

Brahma Vaivarta Purana, Krishna Janma Khanda 131.34-38 Once upon a time, all the
gods having assembled in the council of the gods, the celestial whores busied
themselves with dancing and singing. On that occasion, the fire-god (having seen
Rambha with graceful buttocks), was excited with passion and discharged his
semen…” Tr. Rajendra Nath Sen

Rambha was an Apsara (Nymph) she was also the concubine of the King of Gods
Indra. What can be said about such gods who are so lecherous.

MITRA AND VARUNA

Srimad Bhagavatam 6.18.6 ”Upon seeing Urvasi, the celestial society girl, both Mitra
and Varuṇa discharged semen, which they preserved in an earthen pot. The two sons
Agastya and Vasiṣṭha later appeared from that pot, and they are therefore the common
sons of Mitra and Varuṇa. Mitra begot three sons in the womb of his wife, whose
name was Revatī. Their names were Utsarga, Ariṣṭa and Pippala.” Tr. Swami
Prabhupada

This story is also supported by Rig Veda 7.33.1 and Nirukta 5.13. All these gods and
Rishis had so unique technique of begetting sons from a pot. Now it may help Hindu
fanatics who say Science in ancient India was on its peak and Ganesha’s head was
really fixed by a plastic surgeon.
RISHIS

When gods can do such acts then why can’t sages do the same. Rishi Bhardvaja is said
to have ejaculated on seeing a Apsara (nymph) named Ghritachi, the old Rishi
Bhardwaja went to Ganga to perform ablutions, the nymph Ghritaci too had went there
to perform holy rites which includes dipping into Ganges river, Seeing her wet body
and dishevelled dress the Rishi was aroused and out of desire his semen came out,

Mahabharata 1.131.1-9 “Vaisampayana said, ‘There dwelt at the source of the Ganga,
a great sage named Bharadwaja, ceaselessly observing the most rigid vows. One day,
of old, intending to celebrate the Agnihotra sacrifice he went along with many great
Rishis to the Ganga to perform his ablutions. Arrived at the bank of the stream, he saw
Ghritachi herself, that Apsara endued with youth and beauty, who had gone there a
little before. With an expression of pride in her countenance, mixed with a voluptuous
languor of attitude, the damsel rose from the water after her ablutions were over. And
as she was gently treading on the bank, her attire which was loose became disordered.
Seeing her attire disordered, the sage was smitten with burning desire. The next
moment his vital fluid came out, in consequence of the violence of his emotion. The
Rishi immediately held it in a vessel called a Drona. Then, O king, Drona sprang from
the fluid thus preserved in that vessel by the wise Bharadwaja. And the child thus born
studied all the Vedas and their branches.” Tr. K.M. Ganguli

This story is also mentioned in Mahabharata 1.168. Another Rishi named Vyasa had
ejaculated on seeing Ghritachi but this didn’t occur at Ganges river,

Devi Bhagavatam 1.14.1-70 ”…The Muni Vyasa Deva tried his best and exerted his
power of patience to its utmost, but failed to control his restless mind to enjoy the
woman. Though he was very energetic, and he tried repeatedly to control his heart,
enchanted with the beautiful form of Ghritachi, yet he could not, as due to a state of
things pre-ordained by God, control his mind. At this state, when he was rubbing the
fire sticks to get the sacred fire, the two pieces of wood used in kindling the fire, his
seed (semen) fell upon the Arani (the two pieces of wood used in kindling the sacred
fire). But he did not take any notice of that, and he went on rubbing the firesticks when
arose from that Arana the wonderfully beautiful form of S’uka deva, looking like a
second Vyasa. This boy, born of Arana fuel, looked there brilliant like the blazing fire
of the sacrificial place, whereon oblations of ghee are poured… ” Tr. Swami
Vijnananda

This story is also mentioned in Narada Purana II.58.19-27 and Mahabharata 12.325. A
Rishi named Vibhandaka had also discharged his semen when he spotted a beautiful
woman near a lake,

Mahabharata 3.110.34-35 ”And that son of Kasyapa, Vibhandaka, having proceeded

to a big lake, devoted himself to the practice of penances. And that same saint,
comparable to a god, laboured for a long period. And once while he was washing his
mouth in the waters, he beheld the celestial nymph Urvasi–whereupon came out his
seminal fluid.” Tr. K.M. Ganguli

There is a story of another sage named Mankana who was the son of Kashyap, He
ejaculated seeing Apsara Rambha while both were taking bath,

Vamana Purana, Satomahatmya 17.2-5 “Lomaharsana said The sage Mankana was the
mind-born son of Kasyapa. He was ready to bathe with his valkala in his hand. There
came Rambha taking good, bright and charming other Apsarases and began to take
their bath by his side. At this due to excitement of passion his semen dropped in the
water. The great sage collected that semen in a jar. That semen in the jar became
differentiated into seven portions. Out of them were born seven Rsis who are known
as the Marut hosts.” Tr. Anand Swarup Gupta

This clearly proves that women who go to Banaras (Vanarasi) for pilgrimage are not
safe from the lustful Hindu priests. The Hindu priests would have no problem
watching lustfully the wet bodies of women as they are aware of what their greatest
Rishis did. There is another version of this story mentioned in Mahabharata,

Mahabharata 9.38 ”Listen now to a great feat of Mankanaka, who had from his youth
led the life of a brahmacari. While employed in performing his ablutions in the river,
he beheld (one day), O Bharata, a woman of faultless limbs and fair brows, bathing in
the river at will, her person uncovered. At this sight, O monarch, the vital seed of the
Rishi fell unto the Sarasvati. The great ascetic took it up and placed it within his
earthen pot. Kept within that vessel, the fluid became divided into seven parts. From
those seven portions were born seven Rishis from whom sprang the (nine and forty)
Maruts.” Tr. K.M. Ganguli

Just like Rishi Mankanaka another Rishi named Dadhica had emitted his semen into
the river Sarasvati after seeing Apsara Alambusa,

Mahabharata 9.51.5-9 “In days of yore, O monarch, there was an intelligent sage of
great ascetic merit. He was celebrated by the name of Dadhica. Possessing a complete
control over his senses, he led the life of a brahmacari…At last the chastiser of Paka,
for tempting the sage, despatched unto him the exceedingly beautiful and celestial
apsara, by name Alambusa. Thither where on the banks of the Sarasvati the high
souled sage was engaged in the act of gratifying the gods, the celestial damsel named
above, O monarch, made her appearance. Beholding that damsel of beautiful limbs,
the vital seed of that ascetic of cleansed soul came out.” Tr. K.M. Ganguli

People of the Kshatriya caste also did this act, There is a story mentioned about father
and son who were archers,

Matsya Purana 50.10 ”At the sight of a nymph, Satyadhriti cast his seed in a pool of
water, out of which, one son and a daughter were born.” Tr. Taluqdar of Oudh, Edited
by B.D. Basu

Like Father like Son,

Srimad Bhagavatam 9.21.35 The son of Satananda was Satyadhṛti, who was expert in
archery, and the son of Satyadhṛti was Saradvan. When Saradvan met Urvasi, he
discharged semen, which fell on a clump of sara grass. From this semen were born two
all-auspicious babies, one male and the other female.

This is also mentioned in Vayu Purana, Part 2.37.198. The sage Gautama who cursed
Indra for ravishing his wife had too ejaculated on seeing a woman,

Shiva Purana, UmaSamhita 5.4.32-33 ”The sage Gautama had his mind deluded by
Siva’s Maya. On seeing Saradvati in the nude he was excited and he indulged in
sexual intercourse with her. He collected the semen emitted in a wooden bowl.” Tr.
Board of Scholars, Edited by J.L. Shastri

Kratus had also done this act,

Shiva Purana, Rudra Samhita 2, Sati Khanda 2, Ch 3, verse 51-55 ”From the drops of
sweat that fell from Daksa’s body, a splendid woman endowed with good qualities
was born. She was of slender body with symmetrical hips. Her waist was well shaped;
small curly hairs embellished it. She was soft in body with fine teeth. She had a
shining golden complexion. In her body, she was perfect. Her face shone like the full
moon and full blown lotus. Her name was Rati. She was capable of captivating even
the sages. Excepting Kratu, Vasistha, Pulastya and Angiras the six viz. Marici and
others successfully curbed their senses and their activities. O excellent sage, the semen
virile of the four Kratu and others fell on the ground from which other types of manes
were born.” Tr. Board of Scholars, Edited by J.L. Shastri

A sage named Suparsva had emitted his semen after he spotted a Rakshasi girl,

Varaha Purana 95.18-20 ”There a young and beautiful Raksasa girl by name Indumati,
bathing naked, was seen by this sage. Then he had an emission which he dropped in a
stony crevice at the river (and it got mixed with water).” Tr. Venitasubramonia Iyer,
edited by J.L. Shastri

A Sudra woman named Kalavati wife of Drumila went to Kashyapa Rishi for
contracting Niyoga. But Kashyap Rishi didn’t contract Niyoga with her as he feared
that he may loose his status if he engages in sexual intercourse with a Shudra woman.
But an Apsara was passing by, seeing the Apsara the Rishi ejaculated,

Brahma Vaivarta Purana, Brahma Kanda 20.33-46 ”…At that time, Menaka was
passing by that way, At the sight of her thigh and breast the semen of the saint was
discharged. Thereupon the woman Kalavati drank it cheerfully, went to her husband,
bowed to him and told him everything about, her pregnancy…” Tr. Rajendra Nath Sen
Brahma Vaivarta Purana, Brahma Khanda 20.12-20 ”Santi replied, At Kanauj one
Drumila had a barren wife named Kalavati devoted to her husband. She was barren
through the faults of her husband. By the command of her husband she once upon a
time went to Kasyapa Muni who dwelt in a forest…. [21-32] The Muni addressed her
thus ‘Who are you in this solitary forest? Whose wife are you? Why have you come
here… ”O best of the twice born aint I he daughter ofa cow herd, the wife of Drumila.
By the command of my husband. I have come to you as I desire to have a son. Kindly
impregnate me. You should not slight a woman who has come to you voluntarily…”
Tr. Rajendra Nath Sen

Adultery/Fornication with Women

Gods and Rishis had illicit relationship with several women. Gods and sages had no
problem committing adultery with several women, As we read the words of Indra who
calls himself ‘Master in Sexual Science’, Shiva and Krishna were also considered
‘Lusty’. Committing adultery is a matter of shame among religious leaders and people
but for Hindu gods and sages it was a matter of pride and enjoyment. One of the most
popular God among these is Krishna who was considered a womanizer by his rivals.
Vishnu as well as his Mohini avatar addresses Brahma in the following way,

VISHNU

Brahma Vaivarta Purana, Krishna Janma Khanda 33.1-11 ”…Then Mohini ridiculed
him saying ”O Lord, a being who, allured only by hints from a woman, drags her to
his side and enjoys her society is regarded as the best person. Whoever having clearly
perceived the intentions of a woman commits sexual intercourse with a woman after
he is entreated by her to do so is regarded as the second best. And a wretch who being
entreated by a passionate woman fails to commit sexual intercourse with her even in
solitude does not deserve to be called a man but a eunuch…” Tr. Rajendra Nath Sen

Brahma Vaivarata Purana, Krishna Janma Khanda, 33.47-63 ”Hari smiled when he
heard all this and addressed him with words, delightful, substantial, truthful and
beneficial to the world thus: ”O Brahma, you are conversant with the Vedas. You are
chief of the spiritual guides of the learned; and yet you have performed and act which
cannot be committed by a murderer. Why did you subdue your passions? Nay, even in
India, if a woman excited with passion accidently appears before a man and desires his
company, the latter, even if dispassionate, should not reject her offer. If he rejects her
offer, he is defrauded in several ways in this world and goes to hell in the next
world…” Tr. Rajendra Nath Sen

A Hindu Purana proves how lecherous Hindu gods were

Devi Bhagavatam 4.13.11-13. “O Giver of honour! When all the Devas, Vas’istha,
Vâmadeva, Vis’vamitrâ, Brihaspatî and other ascetic Munis get themselves
overpowered by lust and anger, when their intelligence gets destroyed by
covetousness and avarice, when they are addicted to vices and are expert in fraud,
pre-text and trickery, then what fate, alas! can you expect of Dharma and what help is
there of any religious persons! Alas! lndra, Agni, Moon, and Brahmâ when these get
overpowered by the strong influence of lust, are in illicit love with others’ wives,
where is the goodness and virtuous behavior in this Trilokî?” Tr. Swami Vijnananda

KRISHNA

Today Hindu apologists are posting anything without verifying it. They invent lies in
such a clean manner that it deceives the gullible people. One such deceit is in
defending the acts of Krishna. They say Krishna and Gopis were playing together
when they were small and in the play Krishna and Gopis circumambulated the fire and
hence those 16008 Gopis accidently became the wives of Krishna. Another rebuttal
made by apologists is that, those 16008 girls belonged to lower caste and were
captured by a demon when Krishna defeated the Demon he married them to uplift
their status.
All these explanations are wrong, the second explanation is true to an extent. Krishna
did liberate girls from a demon and later married them, but those were only sixteen
thousand and one hundred (16,100) girls and were all royal Princesses belonging to
Kshatriya caste.

Linga Purana section 1.69.82 “The excessively strong one, of unequalled exploit,
Krsna took up sixteen thousand one hundred girls for his own pleasure.” Tr. Board of
Scholars, edited by J.L. Shastri

Srimad Bhagavatam 10.59.33 ”There Lord Kṛṣṇa saw sixteen thousand royal maidens,
whom Bhauma had taken by force from various kings.” Tr. Swami Prabhupada

Srimad Bhagavatam 10.59.42 ”Then the imperishable Supreme Personality, assuming

a separate form for each bride, duly married all the princesses simultaneously, each in
her own palace.” Tr. Swami Prabhupada

Swami Prabhupada writes,

”There were 16,100 beautiful girls who were daughters of many kings and were
forcibly stolen by Bhaumasura, who kept them captive for his carnal desire. These
girls prayed piteously to Lord Kṛṣṇa for their deliverance, and the merciful Lord,
called by their fervent prayer, released them all by fighting and killing Bhaumāsura.
All these captive princesses were then accepted by the Lord as His wives…” A.C.
Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada on Srimad Bhagavatam 1.10.29
[ http://vanisource.org/wiki/SB_1.10.29 ]

So those were 16,100 Princess and later Krishna married additional 8 wives on various
occasions,

Srimad Bhagavatam 10.58.55 Lord Devakī-suta, the chief of the Yadus, then took His
dowry and Satyā to Dvārakā and continued to live there happily.

Srimad Bhagavatam 10.58.56 Bhadrā was a princess of the Kaikeya kingdom and the
daughter of Lord Kṛṣṇa’s paternal aunt Śrutakīrti. The Lord married Bhadrā when her
brothers, headed by Santardana, offered her to Him.

Srimad Bhagavatam 10.58.57 Then the Lord married Lakṣmaṇā, the daughter of the
King of Madra. Kṛṣṇa appeared alone at her svayaṁvara ceremony and took her away,
just as Garuḍa once stole the demigods’ nectar.

Srimad Bhagavatam 10.58.58 Lord Kṛṣṇa also acquired thousands of other wives
equal to these when He killed Bhaumāsura and freed the beautiful maidens the demon
was holding captive.” Tr. Swami Prabhupada

Srimad Bhagavatam 10.58.31 My dear King, Lord Kṛṣṇa forcibly took away Princess
Mitravindā, the daughter of His aunt Rājādhidevī, before the eyes of the rival kings.
Tr. Swami Prabhupada

Srimad Bhagavatam 1.10.29 ”The children of these ladies are Pradyumna, Sāmba,
Amba, etc. Ladies like Rukmiṇī, Satyabhāmā and Jāmbavatī were forcibly taken away
by Him from their svayaṁvara ceremonies after He defeated many powerful kings,
headed by Śiśupāla. And other ladies were also forcibly taken away by Him after He
killed Bhaumāsura and thousands of his assistants. All of these ladies are glorious.”
Tr. Swami Prabhupada

Devi Bhagavatam 4.24.41-42 ”Afterwards He [Krishna] brought also Jâmbavatî,

Satyabhâmâ, Mitravindâ, Kâlindî, Laksmanâ, Bhadrâ, and auspicious Nâgnajitî (the
daughter of the king Nagnajit) on various occasions and married them. O Lord of the
earth! These eight women were the best and most beautiful of S’rî Krisna’s wives.”
Tr. Swami Vijnananda

Krishna married Rukmini after abducting in a Rakshasa form of marriage which is

described in Hindu scriptures as Rukmini herself wanted this to happen and later when
Rukmi the brother of Rukmini came to know about it he fought Krishna to get his
sister back,
Srimad Bhagavatam 10.54.32-33 “Seeing Lord Kṛṣṇa ready to kill her brother, saintly
Rukmiṇī was filled with alarm. She fell at her husband’s feet and piteously spoke as
follows. Śrī Rukmiṇī said: O controller of all mystic power, immeasurable one, Lord
of lords, master of the universe! O all auspicious and mighty-armed one, please do not
kill my brother” Tr. Swami Prabhupada

Srimad Bhagavatam 10.54.35 “Lord Kṛṣṇa tied up the evil-doer with a strip of cloth.
He then proceeded to disfigure Rukmī by comically shaving him, leaving parts of his
mustache and hair. By that time the Yadu heroes had crushed the extraordinary army
of their opponents, just as elephants crush a lotus flower.” Tr. Swami Prabhupada

Devi Bhagavatam 4.24.40 “At the marriage ceremony of S’is’upâla, at the palace of
the king of Vidarbha, Janârdan Visnu carried away by force Rukminî, the bride elect
from the Svayambara assembly (where the husband is self elected by the bride
herself) and afterwards married her according to the rule called Râkhsasa Vidhi (one
of the eight forms of marriage in Hindu Law in which a girl is forcibly seized and
carried away after the defeat or destruction of her relatives in battle).” Tr. Swami
Vijnananda

Krishna also beat Mitravinda’s brother before marrying her,

Srimad Bhagavatam 10.83.12 “Śrī Mitravindā said: At my svayaṁvara

ceremony He came forward, defeated all the kings present — including
my brothers, who dared insult Him — and took me away just as a lion
removes his prey from amidst a pack of dogs. Thus Lord Kṛṣṇa, the
shelter of the goddess of fortune, brought me to His capital city. May I
be allowed to serve Him by washing His feet, life after life.” Tr. Swami
Prabhupada

Krishna also beat Jambavati’s father before marrying her, Jambavati

after fighting Krishna for 27 days presented his daughter to Krishna,

Srimad Bhagavatam 10.83.10 “Śrī Jāmbavatī said: Unaware that Lord

Kṛṣṇa was none other than his own master and worshipable Deity, the
husband of Goddess Sītā, my father fought with Him for twenty-seven
days. When my father finally came to his senses and recognized the
Lord, he took hold of His feet and presented Him with both me and the
Syamantaka jewel as tokens of his reverence. I am simply the Lord’s
maidservant.” Tr. Swami Prabhupada

Krishna married 16,100 princesses after liberating them from a demon

and he also married eight other princesses on various occasions. Apart
from 16,108 wives Krishna had several hundreds or thousands of
concubines/girlfriends, they were mostly Gopis the milk-maids. Among
all, Krishna’s favourite girlfriend was Radha, it is uncertain whether
Krishna married her or not but many major sources don’t speak
anything about their marriage. Several verses from Purana shows that
his concubines/girlfriends known as Gopis (milk-maids) had husbands
and even children,

Vishnu Purana 5.13.55-61 “The Gopis repeatedly exclaimed, “Bravo, Krishna!” to his
song. When leading, they followed him; when returning, they encountered him; and,
whether he went forwards or backwards, they ever attended on his steps. Whilst
frolicking thus with the Gopis, they considered every instant without him a myriad of
years; and, prohibited in vain by husbands, fathers, brothers, they went forth at night
to sport with Krishnna, the object of their affection…” Tr. H.H. Wilson

Gopis addressing Balrama the elder brother of Krishna after Krishna abandoned them,

Srimad Bhagavatam 10.65.11-12 — “For Kṛṣṇa’s sake, O descendant of Dāśārha, we

abandoned our mothers, fathers, brothers, husbands, children and sisters, even though
these family relations are difficult to give up. But now, O Lord, that same Kṛṣṇa has
suddenly abandoned us and gone away, breaking off all affectionate ties with us. And
yet how could any woman fail to trust His promises?” Tr. Swami Prabhupada
So this proves that those Gopis were already married and even had children. This
shows that apart from 16,108 wives he had illicit relationship with Gopis also. He not
just had illicit relation with Gopis but with other independent women too, Krishna had
sex with a hunch back woman in her own house,

Srimad Bhagavatam 10.48.6-7 ”Calling forward His beloved, who was anxious and
shy at the prospect of this new contact, the Lord pulled her by her bangled hands onto
the bed. Thus He enjoyed with that beautiful girl, whose only trace of piety was her
having offered ointment to the Lord. — Simply by smelling the fragrance of Kṛṣṇa’s
lotus feet, Trivakra cleansed away the burning lust Cupid had aroused in her breasts,
chest and eyes. With her two arms she embraced between her breasts her lover, Śrī
Kṛṣṇa, the personification of bliss, and thus she gave up her long-standing distress.”
Tr. Swami Prabhupada

Brahma Vaivarta Purana, Krishna Janma Khanda 72.56-69 ”…So saying, Krishna, the
asylum of fortune, held the licentious woman to his breast. Made her naked, associated
with her and kissed her. Then the hump-backed woman, while relishing the initial
sexual intercourse, dragged Krisna to her arms like Kamala and kissed his cheek. Both
the pair were particularly proficient in matters relating to sexual intercourse from
which they did not desist for a moment. The intercourse took several forms. Then
Lord Krisna lacerated the rising breast and the loins of the woman with the strokes of
his keen nails and her lips with the bite of his teeth. Later on, at day-break, when he
passed the semen, the beautiful hump-backed woman in the excess of her enjoyments
fainted…” Tr. Rajendra Nath Sen

He had committed fornication with independent woman named Naradi,

Narada Purana, Uttarabhaga 80.31-32 “When the messengers returned, Naradi was
called by the lover of cowherdesses. After bowing down to the lord, she went near him
bashfully. The man of taste (Lord Krsna) embraced her, had the sportful dalliance with
her and then dismissed her. Gradually she came once again to the lake Puspasaras.”
Tr. G.V. Tagare

Krishna’s act with Radha

Brahma Vaivarta Purana, Krishna Janma Khanda 127.1-21 ”…Lord Krisna dragged
her to his beast and kissed her lips (upper and lower), the chin and both the sides of
her cheek. Radha also kissed the handsome lunar face of Krisna and with both her
hands pressed Krisna, the Lord of her life, to her bosom. Lord Krisna committed the
desired act of sexual intercourse in sixteen ways as prescribed by the sexual science
and calculated to please both man and wife. He lacerated the whole constitution of
Radha with marks of nail and bit her lips whereby there was a thrill of raptures in his
body and he experienced a feeling of lassitude…” Tr. Rajendra Nath Sen

Sex with other Concubines

Let me show you how this vulgar act of Krishna is praised in the Hindu scripture. And
how he used to fornicate with them,

Srimad Bhagavatam 10.33.16-17 ”In this way Lord Kṛṣṇa, the original Lord Nārāyaṇa,
master of the goddess of fortune, took pleasure in the company of the young women of
Vraja by embracing them, caressing them and glancing lovingly at them as He smiled
His broad, playful smiles. It was just as if a child were playing with his own
reflection.— Their senses overwhelmed by the joy of having His physical association,
the gopis could not prevent their hair, their dresses and the cloths covering their
breasts from becoming disheveled. Their garlands and ornaments scattered, O hero of
the Kuru dynasty.” Tr. Swami Prabhupada

Srimad Bhagavatam 10.29.45-46 ”Sri Kṛṣṇa went with the gopis to the bank of the
Yamuna, where the sand was cooling and the wind, enlivened by the river’s waves,
bore the fragrance of lotuses. There Kṛṣṇa threw His arms around the gopīs and
embraced them. He aroused Cupid in the beautiful young ladies of Vraja by touching
their hands, hair, thighs, belts and breasts, by playfully scratching them with His
fingernails, and also by joking with them, glancing at them and laughing with them. In
this way the Lord enjoyed His pastimes.” Tr. Swami Prabhupada

Skanda Purana II.iii.4.17 ”With the tip of his nail with which he had pierced the neck
of hyena, he pinched the breasts of the cowherd lasses. He has been sportingly given
many form by young women. Let this Sesa (?) be for (i.e. bring about) calmness and
peace.” Tr. G.V. Tagare

Brahma Vaivarta Purana, Krishna Janma Khanda 46.61-71 ”…On the other hand Siva
was also engaged in the sexual act.” Saint Narayana said, ‘Lord Krishna having said
so to the glancing, smiling Radha went along with her to the sandal forest…O saint,
Radha and the Lord of the sphere became paralysed through the pleasure of sexual
intercourse and being intimately associated with one another, they spent their time
there…” Tr. Rajendra Nath Sen

Brahma Vaivarta Purana, Krishna Janma Khanda 69.1-11 ”…Lord Krisna who was
anxious to enjoy the taste of the Rasa copulated with the clever Radha according to the
measure supplied by sixty-four practical arts in the sphere of the Rasa.’ At that time
the loins and the spherical breast of Radha were lacerated with the injuries inflicted by
the nails of Krisna; the vermillion-mark on the partings of her hairs on the head was
obliterated; and her chignon was relaxed. Later on, the naked Radha thrilling with
raptures and fainting with the excess of pleasure was harboured by the goddess of
sleep.” Tr. Rajendra Nath Sen

Srimad Bhagavatam 3.3.21 ”The Lord enjoyed His pastimes, both in this world and in
other worlds [higher planets], specifically in the association of the Yadu dynasty. At
leisure hours offered by night, He enjoyed the friendship of conjugal love with
women.” Tr. Swami Prabhupada

Srimad Bhagavatam 10.30.33-34 Certainly Kṛṣṇa sat down here with His girlfriend

to arrange Her hair. The lusty boy must have made a crown for that
lusty girl out of the flowers He had collected. — [Śukadeva Gosvāmī
continued:] Lord Kṛṣṇa enjoyed with that gopī, although He enjoys only
within, being self-satisfied and complete in Himself. Thus by contrast
He showed the wretchedness of ordinary lusty men and hardhearted
women.
Kurma Purana 1.26.14-16 ”A certain fawn eyed damsel, fascinated by passionate love,
approached Krsna and kissed his lotus like face. Catching hold of the hand of
Govinda, the first cause of the wordls, a certain girl who was deluded by his Maya,
took him to her own house. Assuming multifarious forms sportively, the lotus-eyed
Lord Krsna fulfilled their desires.” Tr. G.V. Tagare

Brahma Vaivarta Purana, Krishna Janma Khanda 105.1-10 ”He put on her forehead a
beautiful mark of vermillion and painted lines of cosmetics on her breast. He also
painted the members of her lotus feet with lac dye and then with his nails constructed
an artificial lotus on her loins and breast. Then Krisna got up and along with Radha
went to the local lovely pond fall of water…” Tr. Rajendra Nath Sen

Brahma Vaivarta Purana, Krishna Janma Khanda 52.20-28 ”…There Krisna assumed
several forms at once and the sametime and indulged with the cow-herdesses in the
sport which enchants licentious people. He held in his embrace the passionate Radha
and went up to the temple of lust constructed by the Viswa-Karma. Afterwards at that
place he slept with Radha on a bed redolent of the Champaka and annointed her with
sandal, aloe, musk and saffron. The lustful Krisna versed in sexual science sported
with the licentious Radha in several ways.” Tr. Rajendra Nath Sen

Brahma Vairvarta Purana, Krishna Janma Khanda 29.1-10 ”…Some passionate milk-
maid said to Krishna, the lord of her life, ”Krisna, wrap me in your yellow dress.”
Someone said to Krisna, the Lord of the universe, ”Lord, apply vermillion to my
forehead.” Someone arrived there soon and said, ”Lord, arrange the lock of my hair
and bind my chignon.” Some milk-maid bent on her toilet deputed Krisna to fetch
sandal foliage for her ear-rings. Someone by mysterious signs explained to him what
was passing in her heart and with a face beaming with smiles looked at him soliciting
sexual intercourse. Some milk-maids dragged him by force, snatched from his
flute, took away his yellow dress, made him naked and smiled. Some dignified girl
said to the conqueror of Madhu, ”Lord, paint the nails of my feet with lac-dye.”
Someone said affectionately to him, ”O Lord of my life, paint my cheek and breast
with lines of cosmetics of various colours.” Tr. Rajendra Nath Sen

It is mentioned in Brahma Vaivarta Purana Krishna Janma Khanda 53.16-27 that

Krishna did all those things mentioned above which the Gopis demanded. He did these
shameless act with the milk maids who had husbands and children. It doesn’t behove
for a god to act in this manner. The above verse from Brahma Vaivart Purana shows
that he was denuded by those milk maids and instead of being embarrassed and feeling
guilty he smiled like a shameless person. Can such person be considered a god?

Krishan’s grandson Pradumyna

Shiva Purana, Rudra Samhita 2, Yuddha Khanda section 5, Ch 52,

verses 50-53 “Then taking leave of her friend, and knowing him to be
the grandson of Ksna, Citralekha got ready to go to Dvaraka with the
velocity of the mind…Then in the park of the harem the son of
Pradyumna was seen by her playing with women and drinking wine. He
was dark complexioned but beautiful in every limb, smiling in the prime
of youth.” Tr. J.L. Shastri

SHIVA

Mahabharata 13.14.157 “He sports with the daughters and wives of the
Rishis. His hair is long and erect. He is perfectly nude for he has the
horizon for his dress. He has terrible eyes.” Tr. Manmatha Nath Dutt

VISHNU

Shiva Purana, Satarudra Samhita 3, 22.45-46 In the meantime Visnu saw those
damsels born of nectar sprays who were haughty due to their divine beauty and whose
faces resembled the full moon. Fascinated by the cupid’s arrow Visnu attained highest
pleasure only there. He began to indulge in sexual dalliance with those women of
exquisite beauty…” Tr. Board of Scholars, Edited by J.L. Shastri

KARTIKKEYA

Kartikkeya was the son of Shiva. His mother Parvati told him to enjoy
his life as wished. He took advantage of this and started committing
adultery with the wives of gods. Many heaven dwellers tried to stop him
but he didn’t so they requested Parvati to do something. Urged by those
people Parvati changed the appearance of women as herself whom
Kartikkeya was approaching, so at last this stopped Kartikeya from
committing adultery,

Brahma Purana: Gautami Mahatmya 11.2-5 “When the asura Taraka

was killed and the three worlds became quiet and normal, Parvati spoke
to her eldest son Karttikeya with great pleasure: ‘By my consent and the
grace of your father, be delighted in your mind. Enjoy as you please the
worldly pleasures in the three worlds, which are dear to your mind.’
Thus addressed by his mother, Visakha (Karttikeya) the beloved of
gods, sported about as be pleased with the wives of gods. The wives of
gods also sported about. While the wives of gods were being enjoyed, O
Narada, the heaven-dwellers were not able to prevent Karrtikeya.” Tr.
Board of Scholars, edited by J.L. Shastri

INDRA

Devi Bhagavatam 9.40.13-25 ”Nârâyana said :– In ancient days, Indra the Lord of the
three worlds, intoxicated with wine and becoming lustful and shameless, began to
enjoy Rambhâ in a lonely grove. After having enjoyed her, he became attracted to her;
his mind being wholly drawn to her, he remained there in that forest, his mind
becoming very passionate.” Tr. Swami Vijnananda

OTHERS
Devi Bhagavatam 8.5.1-31 “Here the Devas live always with numerous
hordes of women and have their free amorous, dealings with them, to
their heart’s contents and they hear the sweet songs sung by the
Gandharbas and Kinnaras, the Upa Devatâs about their own glorious
deeds.” Tr. Swami Vijnananda

There are two versions on the birth of the monkey god Hanuman, it is said that his
biological father was the wind god Vayu and other version shows he was actually
Shiva’s incarnation born from Shiva’s sperm,

Brahmanda Purana 2.3.7.223-227 ”…Kesari married the daughter of Kunjara named

Anjana. That lady of great purity and good fortune went to a park named Pumsavana.
Vayu (the wind-god) made advances to the lady who was proud of her youth.
Hanuman was born of her union with Vayu the (source of) life into the entire
universe…” Tr. G.V. Tagare

This is also mentioned in Valmiki Ramayana,

Valmiki Ramayana Kishkindha Kanda 4, Sarga 66, Verses 17-18 “On listening the
words of Anjana the Air-god spoke this in reply, ‘oh, high-hipped one, I don’t
dishonour you, hence let there be no fear in your heart, for I am the all-permeating
Air-god. By which reason I embraced you and impregnate myself within you, by that
reason you are impregnated in a supersensory manner, thereby you will beget a valiant
son endowed with intellect.” Tr. K.M.K. Murthy

It is mentioned in Shiva Purana that after Shiva emitted his semen, the semen was
taken via leaf and poured into the ears of Anjani by the sages. Later Hanuman was
born as a reincarnation of Shiva

Shiva Purana, Sataruda Samhita 3.20.3-7 ”Once lord Siva of wonderfu sports saw
Visnu in the form of an enchantress with glittering qualities. As if hit by the arrows of
Cupid, Siva let fall his semen dislodged from its seat, for Rama’s work. Eagerly urged
by him mentally for Rama’s work the seven celestial sages retained that semen in a
leaf. For Rama’s work that semen was poured through the ears of Anjani, the daughter
of Gautama, by those sages. In due course Siva was born of it in the form of a monkey
named Hanumat. He had great strength and exploit.” Tr. Board of Scholars, Edited by
J.L. Shastri

DATTATREYA AND LAKSHMI

Purana obscurely states that Dattatreya had sex with Lakshmi,

Markandeya Purana 18.23-32 “Thus exhorted the gods then went to

Dattatreya’s hermitage, and they beheld the high-souled Muni, attended
by Lakshmi, hymned by Gandharvas and engrossed in quaffing
spirituous liquor…Daddatreya addressed the prostrate gods, ‘What
desire ye of me, that ye do me this obeisance…I am drinking strong
drink, I have remnants of food in my mouth, nor I subdued my senses.
How is it, O gods, ye seek for victory over your enemies even from
me?’ The gods spoke. Thou art sinless, O lord of the world; no stain
hast thou, into whose heart, purified by the ablution of learning, has
entered the light of knowledge. True is this, o gods! all learning have I,
who am impartial in view: but by reason of association with this woman
I am now impure after eating. For commerce with women when
continually pursued tends to depravity. Thus addressed, the gods then
spoke again. This woman, O sinless brahman! is the mother of the
world; she is not depraved…”

Lakshmi was present there and then he tells gods that he had copulation
with this women (i.e. Lakshmi), Padma Purana tells us that Dattatreya
had sex with Lakshmi though it doesn’t mention Lakshmi but the above
verse attests this statement,
Padma Purana II.103.110-113 “Atri’s son Dattatreya, the high-souled
brahmana, the great sage, with his eyes red due to (having drunk)
spirituous liquor, was sporting with a woman. The virtuous one,
intoxicated by wine, having seated a young, auspicious woman, best of
all women, on his lap, sang, danced and heavily drank liquor…” Tr.
N.A. Deshpande

RISHIS

Gods were always afraid of sages, that they may attain the status of god or higher than
that through their penances thus few Gods sent Apsaras to seduce them and to
interrupt their penance. A sage named Kandu was seduced by an Apsara named
Pramlocha. And both of them enjoyed each other for hundreds of years,

Vishnu Purana 1.50.11-15 “…There was formerly (said Soma) a sage named Kandu,
eminent in holy wisdom, who practised pious austerities on the lovely borders of the
Gomati river. The king of the gods sent the nymph Pramlocha to disturb his penance,
and the sweet-smiling damsel diverted the sage from his devotions. They lived
together, in the valley of Mandara, for a hundred and fifty years; during which, the
mind of the Muni was wholly given up to enjoyment…” Tr. H.H. Wilson

Aniruddha the grandson of Krishna had fornicated with Uma the

daughter of Bana,

Srimad Bhagavatam 10.62.22 ”When Usa beheld Him, the most beautiful of men, her
face lit up with joy. She took the son of Pradyumna to her private quarters, which men
were forbidden even to see, and there enjoyed with Him.” Swami Prabhupada

A Rishi named Vishwamitra had fornicated with the Apsara named Menaka,

Mahabharata 1.74.67-68 ”Urvasi, Purvachitti, Sahajanya, Menaka, Viswachi and

Ghritachi, these are the six foremost of Apsaras. Amongst them again, Menaka, born
of Brahman, is the first. Descending from heaven on Earth, after intercourse with
Viswamitra, she gave birth to me. That celebrated Apsara, Menaka, brought me forth
in a valley of Himavat.” Tr. K.M. Ganguli

A sage named Devadutta was peforming penance and Indra feared that the sage may
replace him from his status so to stop his penance he sent a Apsara to interrupt his
penance,

Varaha Purana 29-35 ”Hearing hat music beautiful with the Pancama svara the mind
of the sage became perturbed. Kamadeva tirelessly shot his arrows again on him…Hit
by the arrows of Kamadeva, the great sage appraoched her with a smile. She too
looked at him amorously but with shyness. Attracting the mind of the sage with her
irresistible charms, she continued to play the ball unmindful of flowers falling from
her dishevelling hair. At that time the Malaya wind blew off her garment freeing it
from its knot and the girdle holding it…[40-1] The he held that smiling damsel by the
right hand. He embraced her and gave her delight. Day and night he enjoyed with her
every pleasure helped by the power he had acquired by his penence.” Tr.
Venkitasubramonia Iyer, edited by J.L. Shastri

Apart from committing adultery the gods were also fond of stealing garments of
women. The below section also includes Gods and Rishis committing adultery.

Stealing Garments of Women

The gods were also fond of stealing garments of women to watch their naked bodies.
Many Hindus even hang the portrait on their wall depicting Krishna sitting on a
branch of tree with the cloths of Gopis while the Gopis coming out of the water in
fully nude state. However Krishna was not the only God who did this, several other
gods did this act too,

Mahabharata1.72.1-9 Kanwa continued, ‘And Sakra, thus addressed by her, then

commanded him who could approach every place (viz., the god of the wind) to be
present with Menaka at the time she would be before the Rishi. And the timid and
beautiful Menaka then entered the retreat and saw there Viswamitra who had burnt, by
his penances, all his sins, and was engaged still in ascetic penances. And saluting the
Rishi, she then began to sport before him. And just at that time Marut robbed her of
her garments that were white as the Moon. And she thereupon ran, as if in great
bashfulness, to catch hold of her attire, and as if she was exceedingly annoyed with
Marut. And she did all this before the very eyes of Viswamitra who was endued with
energy like that of fire. And Viswamitra saw her in that attitude. And beholding her
divested of her robes, he saw that she was of faultless feature. And that best of Munis
saw that she was exceedingly handsome, with no marks of age on her person. And
beholding her beauty and accomplishments that bull amongst Rishis was possessed
with lust and made a sign that he desired her companionship. And he invited her
accordingly, and she also of faultless features expressed her acceptance of the
invitation. And they then passed a long time there in each other’s company. And
sporting with each other, just as they pleased, for a long time as if it were only a single
day, the Rishi begat on Menaka a daughter named Sakuntala.

Krishna stole the garments of Gopis just to enjoy watching their naked bodies and
later gave a lame excuse,

Srimad Bhagavatam 10.22.16-17 The Supreme Personality of Godhead said: If you

girls are actually My maidservants, and if you will really do what I say, then come
here with your innocent smiles and let each girl pick out her clothes. If you don’t do
what I say, I won’t give them back to you. And even if the king becomes angry, what
can he do? Then, shivering from the painful cold, all the young girls rose up out of the
water, covering their pubic area with their hands.

Krishna had done similar act to Radha in front of all the Gopis,

Brahma Vaivarta Purana, Krishna Janma Khanda 28.117-132 …Hari snatched away
the cloth of Radha and thus denuded her. Then he tore her wreath and loosened her
chignon…Hari embraced the naked Radha, sank into the water and after having played
therein got up again along with her. Then Krishna after having displayed the abashed,
naked Radha to the cowherdesses threw her again at a distance into the water….Then
Radha dragged Hari and gave him a push whereupon the Lord of the universe was
immersed in deep water at a distance. But shortly afterwards he emerged from the
liquid with a smile, kissed and embraced the naked Radha, again and again…After the
play was over, the naked Lord and Radha both came to the coast and demanded their
clothes from one another….” Tr. Rajendra Nath Sen

For fun Indra blew the garments of girls taking bath,

Matysa Purana 27.3-5 ”…Accepting the request of the Devas, the Maghavan, along
with them, set out on his mission and, in the way, he came across a group of women in
the forest. He saw those damsels bathing and enjoying themselves, as they do in they
do in the pleasure-garden of Kuvera. Then Indra, in the form of a gust of wind, blew
away and mixed up their garments. At that, all the maidens, hastily coming out of
water, dressed themselves with the clothes as they found them.” Tr. Taluqdar of Oudh,
Edited by B.D. Basu

Dancing Girls
The gods were no different than present day lecherous people, they had the habit of
fornicating with women, drinking liquor, and even watching girls dancing. We have
already seen an instance of the assembly of gods where the Apsaras were dancing.
Below are some verses from Srimad Bhagavatam about Krishna dancing with Gopis.

Srimad Bhagavatam 10.33.2 ”There on the Yamuna’s banks Lord Govinda then began
the pastime of the rasa dance in the company of those jewels among women, the
faithful gopis, who joyfully linked their arms together. [7-8] As the gopis sang in
praise of Krishna, their feet danced, their hands gestured, and their eyebrows moved
with playful smiles. With their braids and belts tied tight, their waists bending, their
faces perspiring, the garments on their breasts moving this way and that, and their
earrings swinging on their cheeks, Lord Krishna’s young consorts shone like streaks of
lightning in a mass of clouds. Eager to enjoy conjugal love, their throats colored with
various pigments, the gopis sang loudly and danced. They were overjoyed by
Krishna’s touch, and they sang songs that filled the entire universe. [10-12] When one
gopi grew tired from the rasa dance, She turned to Krishna, standing at Her side
holding a baton, and grasped His shoulder with Her arm. The dancing had loosened
Her bracelets and the flowers in Her hair. Upon the shoulder of one gopi Krishna
placed His arm, whose natural blue-lotus fragrance was mixed with that of the
sandalwood pulp anointing it. As the gopi relished that fragrance, her bodily hair stood
on end in jubilation, and she kissed His arm. Next to Krishna’s cheek one gopi put her
own, beautified by the effulgence of her earrings, which glittered as she danced.
Krishna then carefully gave her the betel nut He was chewing. [17-18] Their senses
overwhelmed by the joy of having His physical association, the gopis could not
prevent their hair, their dresses and the cloths covering their breasts from becoming
disheveled. Their garlands and ornaments scattered, O hero of the Kuru dynasty. The
wives of the demigods, observing Krishna’s playful activities from their airplanes,
were entranced and became agitated with lust. Indeed, even the moon and his
entourage, the stars, became astonished. [22] Lord Krishna’s garland had been crushed
during His conjugal dalliance with the gopis and colored vermilion by the kunkuma
powder on their breasts…” Tr. Swami Prabhupada

Other gods also enjoyed dance of women and nymphs,

Skanda Purana V.iii.172.1-2 ”Sri Markandeya said: Then all the sages and Devas with
Indra at their head came to the meritorious hermitage of Mandavya on the banks of
Narmada. The courtesans began to dance to the tunes of the songs of the celestial
damsels. Lights shone and conchs and Dundubhi drums were sounded.” Tr. G.V.
Tagare

Brahma Vaivarta Purana, Brahma Khanda 13.1-10 ”…Having tasted the pleasures of a
kingdom for some time in the company of his wives, once upon a time, singing the
eulogies of Hari, he suddenly came to Brahma at the shrine of the Puskara. At that
time Brahma was witnessing the dance of a celestial nymph called Rambha along with
other gods. Suddenly he (Upavarhana) became impatient at the sight of her thigh
(beautiful like plantain) and hard, spehrical rising breast exposed by the wind. His
semen was discharged…” Tr. Rajendra Nath Sen

Brahmanda Purana 2.3.31.22-23 “There he saw Brahma of unmeasured prowess,

seated on a beautiful throne set with gems and jewels. He was adorned with ornaments
set with gems and jewels. He was surrounded by leading Siddhas and sages engaged in
meditation. He was gaily and smilingly watching the dance of Vidyadhara damsels.”
Tr. G.V. Tagare

Skanda Purana I.iii (P).12.81-83 “Surrounded and accompanied by sages and Devas
and in accompaniment to the songs of the music party of Tumbura interspersed with
the continuous dances of the celestial damsels, the Bull-emblemed Lord was seen
there seated on his bull. Siva, the receptacle of sympathy, the enemy of the god of
Love and great on account of his fortitude, gracefully approached Siva who was
standing with the head bent low. Dispelling her bashfulness he placed her on his lap
and became delighted. Accompanied by Lalita, his beloved, and surrounded by the
assembly of Suras and leading sages, he witnessed the graceful dances of the celestial
damsels to the accompaniment of music He repeatedly witnessed this with great
eagerness.” Tr. G.V. Tagare

Skanda Purana III.i.28.72-76 “Once, accompanied by all the immortal ones, the Slayer
of Bala and Vrtra (i.e. Indra) was engaged in witnessing the dance of the celestial
damsels in his court. King Puruavas too had come then to the court of Devas in order
to witness the dance of the womenfol of Suras, the heaven-dwellers…” Tr. G.V.
Tagare

Skanda Purana III.iii.2.98a “Rambha, Ghrtaci, Menaa, Purvacittti, Tilottama, Urvasi

and other celestial damsels dance before Sambhu.” Tr. G.V. Tagare

Sex Life
Many gods especially Krishna’s sex life is highly praised in the Hindu
scripture. Here is how they had sex with their wives,

KRISHNA

Krishna with his Wives

Srimad Bhagavatam 10.90.10-11 Under the drenched clothing of the queens, their
thighs and breasts would become visible. The flowers tied in their large braids would
scatter as they sprayed water on their consort, and on the plea of trying to take away
His syringe, they would embrace Him. By His touch their lusty feelings would
increase, causing their faces to beam with smiles. Thus Lord Kṛṣṇa’s queens shone
with resplendent beauty. Lord Kṛṣṇa’s flower garland would become smeared with
kuṅkuma from their breasts, and His abundant locks of hair would become disheveled
as a result of His absorption in the game. As the Lord repeatedly sprayed His young
consorts and they sprayed Him in turn, He enjoyed Himself like the king of elephants
enjoying in the company of his bevy of she-elephants.

Brahma Vaivarta Purana, Krishna Janma Khanda 112.34-46 ”O Narada, later on, Lord
Krisna in due order by turns committed sexual intercourse on the auspicious day
prescribed by the Vedas with seven women, viz., Kalindi, Satyabhama, Satya,
NagnaJiti, sati, Jambavati and Laksmana. In course of time, each of these seven
women bore ten sons and one daughter…” Tr. Rajendra Nath Sen

SHIVA

Brahma Vaivarta Purana, Krishna Janma Khanda 46.30-44 ”At that time, Parvati (who
is the direct emblem of energy) and the powerful Sankara were not in the least
exhausted by the above act…At that time they slept on a bed covered with flowers and
with their heart animated with joy and with their bodies thrilling with raptures, they
were pierced with the darts of Cupid, fainted and thus passed their days. Both of them
who were expert in sexual science were rendered stark-naked through excess of
pleasure; and their bodies were marked with the injuries inflicted by teeth and nails.
The sandal-paste, aloe-paste and musk of their bodies and the vermillion on the
forehead of Parvati disappeared; the garland of both were torn and the chignon of
Gauri was relaxed. O fair one, at the time of intercourse her anklet, bracelet, anklet
and earrings continued to resound…The earth being overloaded with the energy of
Siva, the supporter of the world, was about to be rent asunder and quaked along with
mountains, forests and oceans…” Tr. Rajendra Nath Sen

Shiva Purana, Rudra Samhitra 2, Sati Khanda 2, 21.19-24 ”Sometimes Siva would
become invisible through his Maya and suddenly embrace her when she would
become terrified and agitated. Sometime with musk he would make marks like bees on
her breasts that resembled the buds of a golden lotus. Sometimes he would take the
necklace off her breasts and press them with his hands…Even as she was looking on,
sometimes he would come to her lofty breasts saying with laughter, this dark spot
”Kalika” on your breasts is your companion of the same colour as it contains the same
letter as are found in your name ‘Kalika’.” Tr. Board of Scholars, Edited by J.L.
Shastri

Srimad Bhagavatam 6.17.7 ”Lord Śiva, whose hair is matted on his head, has certainly
undergone great austerities and penances. Indeed, he is the president in the assembly
of strict followers of Vedic principles. Nonetheless, he is seated with his wife on his
lap in the midst of saintly persons and is embracing her as if he were a shameless,
ordinary human being.” Tr. Swami Prabhupada

Shiva Purana, Rudra Samhita 2, Kumara Khanda 4, 1.24 ”For a thousand years
according to the calculation of the gods, Siva the Yogin has been engaged in sexual
dalliance. He does not desist from it.” Tr. Board of Scholars, Edited by J.L. Shastri

Skanda Purana I.iii(P).13.11-12”On hearing these words of the Goddess, Sambhu, the
Lord of Sonacala, the bestower of boons, granted everything desired by her as a boon.
He was desirous of having sexual intercourse with her. Out of eagerness Siva asked
her to applied the fascinated musk (to herself).” Tr. G.V. Tagare

Once Shiva was so much aroused that he repeatedly told Nandi to bring Parvati, he
also told that Parvati should dress herself properly. Shiva couldn’t even wait till she
prepared her toilet and sent Nandin again and again. So some girls especially Uma the
daughter of Bana thought it would be nice idea to assume the form of Parvati and
copulate with Shiva, she was very desirous of cohabiting with Shiva because
previously she had seen Shiva and Parvati engaged in intercourse. So she tried to
assume the form of Parvati and approach Shiva but Parvati learnt about it and stopped
her, Parvati later told her that a person will come in her dream and rape her and he will
be her future husband. And that guy was the grandson of Krishna named Anirudha.
There is little variation in the story, it is uncertain whether Parvati told this to Uma
when Uma saw Shiva and Parvati copulating or when Uma was going to assume the
form of Parvati when Shiva was aroused.

Shiva Purana, Rudra Samhita 2, Yudha Khanda 5, 51.35-43 ”Then being glanced at by
Kama who was not vanquished, the crescent-crested lord Siva highly indulgent in
sports spoke to Nandin. Go and quickly from this forest and tell the dark
complexioned Parvati everything and bring her here from Kailasa after she has
bedecked herself… O excellent sage, then, at his importunity, Parvati, devoted to her
husband, began to bedeck herself ardently…Siva who was extremely agitated told
Nandin again. ”Dear, go again and fetch Parvati from there”. ”Yes, sir”, said he. He
went to Parvati of sweet appearance and said: ”Your lord wishes to see you beautifully
and gorgeously dressed. O goddess, Siva is eagerly waiting for various sports. O
daughter of the mountain, please go since the lord is distressed with passion.”[61-62]
Then the goddess Parvati bedecked herself zealously and went to Siva. She then
sported with him. O sage, at the end of the dalliance Lord Siva vanished from the
place accompanied by his wife, the Ganas and the gods.” Tr. Board of Scholars,
Edited by J.L. Shastri

VISHNU

Devi Bhagavatam 9.14.4-23 ”…Ganga Devi was very much overpowered with
enjoyment in her first intercourse with Narayana; so much so that She remained
motionless…” Tr. Swami Vijnananda

RISHIS

Mahabharata 3.97.14-15 “…After a considerable time, O king, the illustrious Rishi

one day beheld Lopamudra, blazing in ascetic splendour come up after the bath in her
season. And pleased with the girl, for her services, her purity, and self control, as also
with her grace and beauty, he summoned her for marital intercourse…” Tr. K.M.
Ganguli

MANSAROVAR A HONEYMOON SPOT IN ANCIENT INDIA

Indian government spends crores of rupees for Hindu pilgrims as a subsidy to travel to
Mansarovar. But this pilgrimage site namely Mansarovar was more like a honeymoon
spot used by Hindu gods and sages,

Srimad Bhagavatam 3.23.39-40 ”In that aerial mansion he traveled to the pleasure
valleys of Mount Meru, which were rendered all the more beautiful by cool, gentle,
fragrant breezes that stimulated passion. In these valleys, the treasurer of the gods,
Kuvera, surrounded by beautiful women and praised by the Siddhas, generally enjoys
pleasure. Kardama Muni also, surrounded by the beautiful damsels and his wife, went
there and enjoyed for many, many years. Satisfied by his wife, he enjoyed in that
aerial mansion not only on Mount Meru but in different gardens known as
Vaiśrambhaka, Surasana, Nandana, Puṣpabhadraka and Caitrarathya, and by the
Mānasa-sarovara Lake.” Tr. Swami Prabhupada

Mahabharata 1.157.22-31 ”…Hidimva sported with the Pandava and studied to make
him happy. So also, in inaccessible regions of forests, and on mountain-breasts
overgrown with blossoming trees on lakes resplendent with lotuses and lilies, islands
of rivers and their pebbly banks, on sylvan streams with beautiful banks and
mountain-currents, in picturesque woods with blossoming trees and creepers in
Himalayan bowers, and various caves, on crystal pools smiling with lotuses, on sea-
shores shining with gold and pearls, in beautiful towns and fine gardens, in woods
sacred to the gods and on hill-sides, in the regions of Guhyakasand ascetics, on the
banks of Manasarovara abounding with fruits and flowers of every season Hidimva,
assuming the handsomest form, sported with Bhima and studied to make him happy.
Endued with the speed of the mind, she sported with Bhima in all these regions, till in
time, she conceived and brought forth a mighty son begotten upon her by the
Pandava…” Tr. K.M. Ganguli

Sex Slaves
There is a story mentioned in Matsya Purana which tells us how the Devas used to
capture women and forced them into prostitution. Can the Hindu digest these verses
and show it to others so that everyone may know what Hinduism is really about. The
verses are pretty clear and speaks for itself so I won’t be explaining it,

Matsya Purana 71.26-30 ”Once upon a time thousands and thousands of the demons
(Danavas, Asuras, Daityas and Raksasas) were killed in the war between the Devas
and the demons. Indra told their numberless widows and those women who were
forcibly seized and enjoyed, to lead the life of prostitutes and remain devoted to the
kings and the Devas. Indra continued, ‘You should look upon, with equal eye, the
kings your masters and on Sudra. All of you will attain prosperity, according to your
fate. You should satisfy those who would come to you with adequate sum of money to
enjoy your company, even if they be poor. ” Tr. Taluqdar of Oudh, Edited by B.D.
Basu

Indra told the widows of Demons (Non Hindus) how they should lead their
prostitution life,

Matsya Purana 71.44-45 ”That Brahmana should be well fed and be devoutly looked
upon as cupid, for the sake of sexual enjoyment. Each and every desire of that
Brahmana should be satisfied by the woman devote. She should, with all heart and
soul and with a smile on her face, yield herself up to him.” Tr. Taluqdar of Oudh,
Edited by B.D. Basu

Matsya Purana 71.56-59 ”Henceforth, any Brahmana coming to them for the sake of
sexual enjoyment on a Sunday, should be respected and honoured. If with the consent
of that Brahmana, another handsome person come to them, these women should, with
love and affection and to the best of their ability, perform all the fiftyeight kinds of
observances of Love, favourite of man and gods, which would lead to pregnancy and
which is not harmful to their soul’s welfare. ” Tr. Taluqdar of Oudh, Edited by B.D.
Basu

Bhishma had also taken women captives with him,

Mahabharata 1.102 ”Bhishma cut off, with his arrows, on the field of battle, bows, and
flagstaffs, and coats of mail, and human heads by hundreds and thousands…Then that
foremost of all wielders of weapons having vanquished in battle all those monarchs,
pursued his way towards the capital of the Bharatas, taking those maidens with him.”
Tr. K.M. Ganguli

Hinduism clearly sanctions Slavery, readers can go through the article Slavery in
Hinduism. As I wrote in this article in the Rape category under sub category Rape and
Abduction is legitimized that Hinduism permits Rakshasa form of marriage for the
Kshatriya caste, It can be considered rape because it is done after family of the girl is
slain and she is forcibly taken away, Mahabharata 13.44 says that bridegroom may
forcibly take away the girl he likes to marry even after killing or beheading the girl’s
kinsmen and Manu Smriti 3.33 says that sometimes the girl forcibly taken away may
cry and weep and this is permitted in Mahabharata 1.73.

Many Hindu scriptures clearly speaks about female slaves,

Narada Smriti 12.78 Intercourse is permitted with a wanton woman, who belongs to
another than the Brahman caste, or a prostitute, or a female slave, or a female not
restrained by her master (nishakasini), if these women belong to a lower caste than
oneself; but with a woman of superior caste, intercourse is prohibited.,

Katyayana Smriti verse 723 “When a master has sexual intercourse with his female
slave and the latter then gives birth to a son, the master looking to the seed (which was
his own) should make the female slave free from slavery together with her progeny.”
Tr. P.V. Kane

Agni Purana 211.37-43 ”…By making the gift of a female slave to one of the foremost
of the Brahmanas, a man becomes an inmate of the region of the Apasaras (nymphs)
…” Tr. Manmath Nath Dutt
Hinduism also levies custom duties on importing female slaves,

Agni Purana 223.23-29 ”…Duties payable on importing female slaves into the country
should be determined with a due regard to the country imported from and the time of
the import. The duties payable on animals and gold shall be a fifth and sixth part of the
original value, while a sixth part of their value should be paid as the kings dues on
importing articles of perfumery, cereals, flowers, roots…” Tr. M.N. Dutt

Krishna also gave many females slaves,

Mahabharata 4.72.19-26 ”…And Krishna gave unto each of the illustrious sons of
Pandu numerous female slaves, and gems and robes…” Tr. K.M. Ganguli

Krishna’s father Vasudeva also a over a thousand concubines,

Mahabharata 16.7.37-38 ”The Brahmanas and Kshatriyas, and Vaisyas, and wealthy
Sudras, set out, keeping before them the 16,000 women that had formed Vasudeva’s
harem, and Vajra, the grandson of the intelligent Krishna.” Tr. K.M. Ganguli

Hindu god Rama’s father named Dasharath also had many conubines, I am
reproducing the passage where Dashrath’s organizes Ashvamedha Yajna,

Valmiki Ramayan, Bala Kanda 1.14.35 ”Thus, the officiating priests of the ritual,
namely hota, adhwaryu and udgaata have received in their hand the Crowned Queen,
the neglected wife, and a concubine of the king, next as a symbolic donation in the
ritual by the performer, the king.” Tr. Shri Desiraju Hanumanth Rao

Hindu scriptures on concubines of Kings,

Natya Shastra 34.26-29 I shall now describe the classes and function of women who
live in the harem and have dealings with the king. They are the chief queen (maha-
devi), other queens (devi), his high born wives (sramini), ordinary wives (sthayini),
concubines (bhogini) craft women (silpakarini), acresses (natakiya), dancers (nartaki),
maids in constant attenance (ancarika), maids of special work (paricarka), maids in
constant movement (sancarika), maids for running errands (presana-carika),
Mahattaris (matron), old dames (sthavira). Ayuktikas and (overseer), Pratiharis
(usher), maidens (kumari).

Natya Shastra 34.40 Concubines (bhogini) to a king are known as well-behaved,

gentle [in manners], not very hanghty, and they are indifferent [to rivals], modest,
affectionate but not held in high honor.

It’s mentioned in Narada Purana,

Narada Purana 35.43 “A son born of a virgin girl is called ‘Kanina’, and that born of
pregnant before marriage is called ‘Sahodhaka’. One purchased by price is called
‘Krita’, ‘Punarbhava’ is two-fold.” Tr. Anand Swarup Gupta

Maharshi Manu on types of Slaves,

Manu Smriti 8.415 ”A captive of war, a slave for maintenance, the son of a female
slave, one purchased for money, a slave obtained as a present, a hereditary one, and
one condemned to slavery for any offence, these are the seven kinds of slave (lit.,
sources of slavery)” Tr. M.N. Dutt

Female Slave can’t perform the rites of a wife,

Baudhyana Dharma Sutra, Prasna 1, Adhyaya 11, Kandika 21 Now they quote also
(the following verse): ‘It is declared that a female who has been purchased for money
is not a wife. She cannot (assist) at sacrifices offered to the gods or the manes.
Kasyapa has stated that she is a slave.

What does that mean? It means a female slave can do other works of wife (like carnal
pleasure) but not the sacrificial rites of wife. Leave aside this purchasing of female
slaves, Hinduism even brings a kind of marriage into slavery. As we know there are
many forms of marriage in Hinduism, one of them is Manusha rite commonly known
as Asura form of marriage. Vasistha explains it as,
Vasistha Dharma Sutra 1.35-36 If, after making a bargain (with the father, a suitor)
marries (a damsel) purchased for money, that (is called) the Manusha-rite. The
purchase (of a wife) is mentioned in the following passage of the Veda, ‘Therefore one
hundred (cows) besides a chariot should be given to the father of the bride.’

Gautama Dharma Shastra 4.11-15 “If those who have (authority over) a female are
propitiated by money, (that is) an Asura wedding…The first four (rites) are lawful;
Some say, (the first) six.” Tr. George Buhler

Baudhayana Dharma Shastra Prasna I, Adhyaya 11, Kandika 20 (I, II, 20), Verses 7-8
“(If the bridegroom receives the maiden) after gladdening (the parents) by money,
(that is) the rite of the Asuras (asura). (If the maiden is wedded) after being forcibly
abducted, (that is) the rite of the Rakshasas (rakshasa). [12] Among these the sixth and
the seventh agree with the law of Kshatriyas. For power is their attribute.” Tr. George
Buhler

Baudhayana permits Asura (Manusha) form of marriage for Kshatriya whereas Manu
Smriti prohibits it for Kshatriya and permits them for Vaishyas and Shudras and in
some cases for Brahmanas also.

Manu Smriti 3.20-24 “Now listen to (the) brief (description of) the following eight
marriage-rites used by the four castes (varna) which partly secure benefits and partly
produce evil both in this life and after death. (They are) the rite of Brahman (Brahma),
that of the gods (Daiva), that of the Rishis (Arsha), that of Pragapati (Pragapatya), that
of the Asuras (Asura), that of the Gandharvas (Gandharva), that of the Rhashasas
(Rakshasa), and that of the Pisakas (Paisaka). Which is lawful for each caste (varna)
and which are the virtues or faults of each (rite), all this I will declare to you, as well
as their good and evil results with respect to the offspring. One may know that the first
six according to the order (followed above) are lawful for a Brahmana, the four last for
a Kshatriya, and the same four, excepting the Rakshasa rite, for a Vaisya and a Sudra.
The sages state that the first four are approved (in the case) of a Brahmana, one, the
Rakshasa (rite in the case) of a Kshatriya, and the Asura (marriage in that) of a Vaisya
and of a Sudra.” Tr. George Buhler

One may get confused when one reads 25th verse of this chapter, but according to
Medhatithi that law is laid down only for the Kshatriyas. He also states that several
forms of marriages are permitted but specific forms are superior. In case one is not
able to find bride to perform marriage in the superior form then he may recourse to
other options or forms of marriages. He also states that Asura marriage which is
purchase of bride for money from the father of the bride is specifically allowed for the
Vaishya and Shudra castes and also allowed for Brahmana as option. It is also
mentioned in Narada Purana 26.15-18 that on failing to get a bride in acceptable forms
of marriage a Brahmana may adopt any of the eight forms of marriage.

Acharya Medhatithi writes on Manu Smriti 3.24-25, “…For the Vaishya and the
Shudra, it is the ‘Asura’ alone. Among those that have been sanctioned (before) and
prohibited now, there is to be option; so that one may have recourse to the optional
forms only when those that have been sanctioned absolutely in all cases are not
possible…[25] The law laid down in this verse pertains to the Ksattriya and the rest,
not to the Brahmana…The conclusion on this point is as follows :- For the Brahmana
there are six forms of marriage; of these the ‘Brahma’ is the best of all; inferior to that
are the ‘Daira’ and the ‘Prajapatya;’ inferior to these is the Arsa, then the ‘Gandharva,’
then the Asura…As regards the ‘Asura’ form, since it has been specifically prescribed
for the Vaishya and the Shudra, it implies the exclusion of the Brahmana and the
Ksattriya from it. And yet we have the distinct injunction of six forms as permitted for
the Brahmana (in 23 above). From all which it follows that there is option; but it is an
option with the restriction that one is to recourse to the second option only in the event
of the first option being impossible…” Tr. Ganganath Jha

Garuda Purana permits Asura marriage for the Vaishyas,

Garuda Purana I.95.10-11 “In the Asura form of marriage, money is taken…The first
four types of marriage are recommended for brahmins; the Gandharva and the Raksasa
type for kings; the Asura type for vaisyas and the despicable last type for the sudras.”
Tr. J.L. Shastri

Vishnu Smriti 24.24 and Asvalayana Grihya Sutra 1.6.6 also mentions Asura
marriage. Bhishma also talks about prevalence of these forms of marriages,
Mahabharata Adi Parva 1, Section 116, Verses 8-10 “Bhishma said:- The wise have
said that after inviting an accomplished man, a maiden may be bestowed on him
decked with ornaments and accompanied with valuable presents as much as lie in the
power of the bestower to give. Others may bestow their daughters by accepting a
couple of kine. Some again may bestow their daughters by taking a fixed sum, and
some again take away maidens by force. Some marry with the consent of the maidens
and some by dragging them into consent…” Tr. M.N. Dutt

Skanda Purana also states that Asura form of marriage was prevalent among
Kshatriyas and Vaishyas,

Skanda Purana IV.i.38.7 “Generally speaking, the marriages of the types of

Gandharva, Asura and Raksasa are in vogue among Ksatriyas and Vaisyas…” Tr.
G.V. Tagare

This will be an eye opener for some Hindus, because those poor Hindu used to say
Marriage in Hinduism is a very spiritualistic matter and very unique compared to other
religions. Is that the ‘Uniqueness’ they talk about? Purchasing a wife like a one
purchases a commodity.

LGBT
LGBT stands for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender. To be precise Hinduism
clearly sanctions Transgenderism and Lesbianism. Many gods committed
transgenderism. Which has compelled Hindu scholars to accept LGBT. The most
famous story about LGBT in Hinduism is that of Shiva and Vishnu. Here is a verse
from Skanda Purana which is addressed to Shiva,

SHIVA AND VISHNU

Skanda Purana I.iii(U).20.32-33 ”Be victorious, O Lord, whose head is adorned with
Ganga and the crescent moon, O Lord, who have fascinated the minds of the wives of
all sages by means of your handsome features. Be victorious, O Lord, who are
possessed of the glory of the god of Love due to the close contact of the daughter of
the Mountain. Be victorious, O Lord, who are an expert in the repetition of the
(sexual) play over the body of Naranaya adopted by means of Maya (?).” Tr. G.V.
Tagare

Narayana and Hari are the synonyms of Vishnu, Hara, Sankara, Shambhu are
synonyms of Shiva’s name. This verse shows that Shiva had sex with Vishnu. As per
story mentioned in Srimad Bhagavatam, Vishnu assumed the form of a beautiful
woman, This form of Vishnu is known as Mohini. He assumed this form to lure and
defeat the demons. Later on Shiva requested Vishnu to assume the form which is
pleasing to the lusty people, Shiva wanted to see his Mohini form. Thus requested by
Shiva, Vishnu assumed the form of Mohini. Shiva despite knowing that it was Vishnu
just couldn’t resist his desire and followed Vishnu in front of his wife and even
discharged semen out of desire. Both Mohini and Shiva were naked and Shiva
forcefully embraced Vishnu (Mohini).

Agni Purana 3.17-20 He [Vishnu] was then requested by Hara to show (this form)
unto him. The Divine Hari then displayed his female form unto Rudra. Overpowered
by his (Vishnu’s) illusory power, Shambhu, renouncing Gouri, longed for that damsel.
He became naked and looked like a maniac. He held the woman by the hair and she,
releasing her hairs, ran away. He too followed her. Wherever dropped Hara’s seminal
fluid there sprang up fields of his phallic emblem and gold.

The story mentioned in Srimad Bhagavatam will briefly explain this,

Srimad Bhagavatam 8.12.15-16 ”The Supreme Personality of Godhead said: When the
demons took away the jug of nectar, I assumed the form of a beautiful woman to
bewilder them by directly cheating them and thus to act in the interest of the
demigods. O best of the demigods, I shall now show you My form that is very much
appreciated by those who are lusty. Since you want to see that form, I shall reveal it in
your presence. [19] Because the ball was falling down and bouncing up, as She played
with it Her breasts trembled, and because of the weight of those breasts and Her heavy
flower garlands, Her waist appeared to be all but breaking at every step, as Her two
soft feet, which were reddish like coral, moved here and there. [21] As She played
with the ball, the sari covering Her body became loose, and Her hair scattered. She
tried to bind Her hair with Her beautiful left hand, and at the same time She played
with the ball by striking it with Her right hand. This was so attractive that the Supreme
Lord [Vishnu], by His internal potency, in this way captivated everyone. [24-26] Thus
Lord Śiva saw the woman, every part of whose body was beautifully formed, and the
beautiful woman also looked at him. Therefore, thinking that She was attracted to him,
Lord Śiva became very much attracted to Her. Lord Śiva, his good sense taken away
by the woman because of lusty desires to enjoy with Her, became so mad for Her that
even in the presence of Bhavānī [Shiva’s wife] he did not hesitate to approach Her.
The beautiful woman was already naked, and when She saw Lord Śiva coming toward
Her, She became extremely bashful. Thus She kept smiling, but She hid Herself
among the trees and did not stand in one place. [28-32] After following Her with great
speed, Lord Śiva caught Her by the braid of Her hair and dragged Her near him.
Although She was unwilling, he embraced Her with his arms. Being embraced by
Lord Śiva like a female elephant embraced by a male, the woman, whose hair was
scattered, swirled like a snake. O King, this woman, who had large, high hips, was a
woman of yoga-māyā presented by the Supreme Personality of Godhead. She released
Herself somehow or other from the fond embrace of Lord Śiva’s arms and ran away.
As if harassed by an enemy in the form of lusty desires, Lord Śiva followed the path
of Lord Viṣṇu, who acts very wonderfully and who had taken the form of Mohinī. Just
as a maddened bull elephant follows a female elephant who is able to conceive
pregnancy, Lord Śiva followed the beautiful woman and discharged semen, even
though his discharge of semen never goes in vain.” Tr. Swami Prabhupada

As per Brahmanda Purana a son was born to Shiva-Vishnu known as Shasta.

Brahmanda Purana Lalita Mihatmya 6.7-9 “The second form appeared when the
churning for the sake of Nectar was being carried out. That form fascinated Sarva
(Siva). It cannot be comprehended by the mind or expressed through words. On seeing
it, even isa (god Siva) became charmed and enchanted although he is omniscient.
When prohibited by her, he left off Parvati all of a sudden and he indulged in sexual
intercourse with her (i.e. Mohini). He begot of her (the son) Sasta, the supressor of
Asuras.” Tr. G.V. Tagare

Shasta is popularly known as Ayyappa in south India. He is also known by the name
Hari-Hara. As he was born from Hari (Vishnu) and Hara (Shiva).

Apologists try to give lame explanation for this homosexual act, they say that Shiva
did not have sex (read rape) with Vishnu but with Mohini who was a woman. For the
sake of the argument even if I accept this to be true then does that mean it is
permissible to have sex with a transgender? As Vishnu transformed himself into a
woman and today it’s possible for a man to become woman after going through some
surgeries. Moreover this is not a avatar of Vishnu its just his form, when you search
the meaning of Avatar on Google you will find the following meaning

”a manifestation of a deity or released soul in bodily form on earth; an incarnate divine

teacher”

Some examples are Krishna and Ram, the two avatars of Vishnu who had taken birth
on the earth through human parents. But unlike these two Mohini didn’t took birth on
earth. Gods like Shiva assumed forms of beggar and other people to carry on their so
called test on people, so Hindus don’t say ”so and so beggar tested those people” but
they say “Shiva assumed the form to test them” similarly Mohini was Vishnu itself
this is why some Hindu scholars permits homosexuality on the basis that Shiva and
Vishnu were engaged in this act,

SHIVA AND AGNI

There is one more story of LGBT of Shiva. Where Shiva ejaculated his semen into the
mouth of the fire god Agni, after Agni interrupted their sexual dalliance. The context
of this story is that all the gods were frightened by a demon named Taraka who was
causing trouble on earth, no god could defeat him except Shiva. But Shiva was
engaged in sexual intercourse with his wife for a very long time. All the gods waited
for it to finish, but Shiva did not stop from that. So at last the gods sent Agni to
summon Shiva to kill the demon Taraka. Agni went to the palace after assuming the
form of a bird and interrupted their intercourse. Shiva in anger ejaculated the semen in
Agni’s mouth,

Brahma Purana, Gautami-Mahatmya 58.16-24 ”At the instance of Devas the fire-god
assumed the form of a parrot and went to the place where the lord of the worlds was
sporting with Uma…The lord of Devas called the fire-god moving about in front of
him, in the form of a bird and said, ”O Agni, you have been recognised through
various ways. Do not speak anything. Open your mouth. Take this in and carry it with
you.” After saying this lord Sambhu discharged a great deal of semen into the mouth
of fire-god. With this semen within him Agni could not at all go. Utterly tired, Agni
sat down on the bank of Ganga. He then discharged a greater portion of that semen
into Krttikas wherefrom Karttika was born. The remaining portion of the semen of
Sambhu that had been within his body, Agni split into two and deposited into his
beloved wife Svaha who was particularly eager to have a child.” Tr. Board of
Scholars, Edited by J.L. Shastri

This is also mentioned in Mahabharata 9.44.6-11 with a slight variation. Kartikkeya is

considered the son of Shiva and Agni as per Vamana Purana as the semen was
swallowed by Agni,

Vamana Purana 31.26-28 “O Brahman, in the meantime Brahman said to Agni ‘How
old and grown up is your son, Guha now’? Hearing his words, and not knowing his
son, Agni said to Brahman, I do not know who is Guha,’ Being pleased, the Lord said,
‘You drank the semen of Sankara in the past, so a child, the lord of the three worlds
has been born in the thickest of reeds.” Tr. Anand Swarup Gupta

As per another version, the sages’ wives who were bathing in the river were also
impregnated as Agni had deposited a portion of the semen in the river. Later all those
wives aborted except Arundhati. Agni is an intermediary, i.e. whatever is put in Agni
reaches the god as a result that semen of Shiva went into the stomach of all the gods
and they were impregnated by it,
Shiva Purana, Rudra Samhita 2, Kumara Khanda 4. Ch 2.25 ”The gods are wont to
partake of the offerings of food etc. consigned to the fire in accordance with the Vedic
text. Hence the gods became pregnant.” Tr. Board of Scholars, Edited by J.L. Shastri

The gods later vomited the semen on the behest of Shiva,

Shiva Purana, Rudra Samhita 2, Kumara Khanda 4. Ch 2.30-38 ”We have become
pregnant and also scorched by your semen. O Siva, take pity on us. Remove our
miserable plight…[Shiva said] At my Behest you shall vomit this semen virile of
mine. you will be happy thereby. Accepting this command with bent head Visnu and
the other gods immediately vomited it out after duly remembering Siva the
imperishable” Tr. Board of Scholars, Edited by J.L. Shastri

According to Tamil versions of the Mahabharata, the god Krishna – an incarnation of

Vishnu – also took the form of Mohini and married Aravan. This was in order to give
Aravan the chance to experience love before his death, as he had volunteered to be
sacrificed. Krishna remained in mourning in the Mohini form for some time after
Aravan’s death. This marriage and death of Aravan are commemorated annually in a
rite known as Thali, during which Hijra (Indian “third gender”) take on the role of
Krishna-Mohini and “marry” Aravan in a mass-wedding, followed by an 18-day
festival. The festival ends with a ritual burial of Aravan, while the Hirjas mourn in
Tamil style: by beating their chests in ritual dances, breaking their bangles and
changing into white mourning clothes.

KRISHNA AND ARJUNA

According to Padma Purana Krishna is said to have relationship with Arjuna. Arjuna
was desirous of knowing the secrets of Vrindavan or the Ras Leela you can say. So he
prayed to a goddess named Tripura who fullfilled her desire by turning Arjuna into a
woman after Arjuna dipped into a lake. This form of Arjun has been called as Arjuni
and Arjuniya in the Padma Purana. Arjuni went to Krishna who then had sex with
Arjuna,

Padma Purana Patalakhanda 5, Chapter 74, Verses 61-74a “Then having heard the
words, when Arjuna plunged into the water of the lake…The charmingly smiling one
got up and on seeing around, was confused. He instantly saw himself (to be turned
into) a wonderful, excellent lady, who had a slim, fair, charming body like the rays of
pure gold…” Tr. N.A Deshpande

Padma Purana Patalakhanda 5, Chapter 74, Verses 177b-196a “…Arjuniya, having

seen in confusion on the left side of the pleasing goddess Radhika, propitiating and
offering a tambula to him of a bright smile, was overcome with the passion of love.
Then, Srikrsna, who knew everything, knowing her to be like that, seized her hand,
and he the lord, the great master of magical art secretly sported with her in the entire
pleasure-forest. Then putting his sport-like arm on her should and coming to Sarada,
said to her: ‘Bathe quickly this slim-bodied lady of a gentle smile, fatigued due to
sport, in this western lake.’ Then that goddess Sarada (took her) to the western lake,
(and) said to her, ‘Take bath’. The fatigued one did like that. She who got to the
interior of the water, again turned into Arjuna and got up at the place where the lord of
gods and the chief of the beautiful Vaikuntha stood. Seeing Arjuna dejected and
broken-minded, Krsna kindly touched him with his hand and put him (back) to his
nature.” Tr. N.A Deshpande

Arjuna the biggest devotee of Krishna is said to have transformed himself into a
eunuch,

Mahabharata 4.45.13-14 ”…Indeed, thou seemest to me to be Mahadeva, or Indra, or

the chief of the Gandharvas, dwelling in the guise only of one of the third sex.’
“Arjuna said, ‘I tell thee truly that I am only observing this vow for a whole year
agreeable to the behest of my elder brother. O thou of mighty arms, I am not truly one
of the neuter sex, but I have adopted this vow of eunuchism from subservience to
another’s will and from desire of religious merit. O prince, know me now to have
completed my vow…” Tr. K.M. Ganguli

KRISHNA AND NARADA

Krishna also had sex with Narada Muni in the same way,
Padma Purana, Patalakhanda 5, Chapter 75, Verses 24b-32a “Narada said: This is a
great secret, the secret of secrets. Formerly Brahma told me that secret about
Vrndavana (when I had said to him): ‘O lord of gods, O father, tell me the secret of
Vrndavana.’ Hearing this desire (of mine), he remained silent for a moment. Then he
said to me: ‘O child, go to Maha (i.e. great) Visnu, my lord. Undoubtedly I must also
go there with you.’ Saying so, and taking me (with him) he went to the abode of
Visnu. He told Maha Visnu what I had said to him. Hearing that Maha Visnu himself
ordered the self-born one (i.e. Brahma). ‘By my order, you take the sage Narada, and
arrange for his bath in the lake called Amrta.’ Having entered the Amrta lake, I took
bath there. Just at that moment I was (i.e. I found myself) near women, beyond (i.e. on
the other side of) the lake (I was) turned into a woman, endowed with all (good)
charachteristics…” Tr. N.A. Deshpande

Padma Purana, Patalakhanda 5, Chapter 75, Verses 39B-53 “With them, (we) went
where the eternal Krsna remained. The lord, who was merely of the form of the Good,
the Intelligence and the Joy, and o that of a woman, and whose heart was delighted
due to the women, again and again said to me: ‘Come along O dear one, O beloved,
embrace me devoutly.’ O you best brahmana, there only he enjoyed (with me) for a
year. Then that best lover said to that goddess Radhika: ‘This was my natural form
there, which had taken the form of Narada. Take her to the Amrta lake, and arrange for
her bath.’…After that goddess Radhika took me to the lake, waited there, and went
(back) near the feet of the Moon in the form of Krsna. Then immediately after
plunging (into the lake) I came (back) as Narada…” Tr. N.A. Deshpande

NARADA AND KING TALADHVAJA

Sage Narada had relationship with a King named Taladhvaja as per the version
available in Srimad Devi Bhagavatam,

Srimad Devi Bhagavatam Book 6, Chapter 28, Verses 37-54 “…O Nârada! Look!
Look! How clear crystal-like is the water of this pool like the heart of a saint; see how
it smells also fragrantly in contact with the lotuses on it.” When the Bhagavân spoke
thus to me; I kept my lute and deer skin aside and gladly went to the edge of the tank.
Washing then my hands and feet I tied my hair lock and, taking Kus’a grass, I
performed my Âchaman and, purifying myself, began to bathe myself in that tank.
While I was bathing, Hari was looking at me; by the time I took a dip, I saw that I
quitted my male form and got a beautiful female form. Hari took away, then, my deer
skin and lute and mounting on Garuda went away in a moment to His own residence.
Getting the female form and decorated with excellent ornaments, my memory of my
previous male form vanished at once; I forgot all about my famous lute and forgot also
Jagannâtha, the Deva of the Devas. I then came out of the tank in that enchanting
woman form, saw the pool of water filled with clear limpid water and adorned with
lotuses. Seeing that, I began to think :– “What is this?” and I became very much
astonished. While I was thus meditating in my woman form, a king, named
Tâladhvaja, came there, all on a sudden, on a chariot, accompanied by numerous
elephants and horses. The King looked like a second Cupid…” Tr. Swami Vijnananda

Srimad Devi Bhagavatam Book 6, Chapter 29, Verses 13-20. “The King then began to
sport with me amorously according to the rules of the Kâma S’âstra in various ways
and with great enjoyments and pleasures. He then left all his kingly duties and state
affairs and he began to remain day and night with me deeply immersed in amorous
sports; so much his mind was merged in me in these plays that he could not notice the
long time that passed away in the interval. He used to drink the Vârunî wine and,
forsaking all the state affairs, began to enjoy me in nice gardens, beautiful lakes,
lovely palaces, beautified houses, excellent mountains and enviable forests and
became completely subservient to me. O Dvaipâyana! Being incessantly engaged with
the King in amorous sports and remaining obedient to him, my previous body, male
ideas, or the birth of Muni, nothing whatsoever came in my memory. I remained
always attached to him…” Tr. Swami Vijnananda

Srimad Devi Bhagavatam Book 6, Chapter 30, Verses 1-14. Nârada said :– O Best of
Munis! The King was greatly astonished to see me dip in the tank in a female figure
and get up from the tank in a male figure and thought, “Where is my dearest wife?
And how is this Nârada Muni suddenly come here!” The King, not seeing his wife,
lamented very much and cried frequently, “O my dear Wife! Where have you gone,
leaving me here thus. Without you, O One of spacious hips! My life, palace and
kingdom, all, are quite useless…” Tr. Swami Vijnananda

BUDHA (SON OF SOMA) AND KING

Another form of LGBT is also found in Srimad Bhagavatam. Some sages went to the
abode of Shiva but as soon as they spotted Shiva and Parvati engaged in sexual
intercourse they immediately went away. To please Parvati, Shiva said that anyone
coming near his area shall become a woman. A king accidently stepped into that area
and became a woman, later (s)he had sex with the son of moon god Soma named
Budha,

Vayu Purana, Part 2.23.15-18 …He who is revered in the three worlds is famous as
Sudyumna. He has attained the form of a lady. That noble lady returned to her father
after securing the boon. After getting an opportunate moment, she was invited for love
making (sexual intercourse) by Budha (the planet mercury). From Budha, the son of
Soma, Puruavas, the son of Ila was born. After giving birth to the son born of Budha,
she became Suyumna again. Sudyumna had three sons, all extremely virtuous” Tr.
G.V. Tagare

Srimad Bhagavatam 9.1.30-35 ”When the goddess Ambikā saw the great saintly
persons, she was very much ashamed because at that time she was naked. She
immediately got up from the lap of her husband and tried to cover her breast. Seeing
Lord Śiva and Pārvatī engaged in sexual affairs, all the great saintly persons
immediately desisted from going further and departed for the āśrama of Nara-
Nārāyaṇa. Thereupon, just to please his wife, Lord Śiva said, “Any male entering this
place shall immediately become a female!” Since that time, no male had entered that
forest. But now King Sudyumna, having been transformed into a female, began to
walk with his associates from one forest to another. Sudyumna had been transformed
into the best of beautiful women who excite sexual desire and was surrounded by
other women. Upon seeing this beautiful woman loitering near his āśrama, Budha, the
son of the moon, immediately desired to enjoy her. The beautiful woman also desired
to accept Budha, the son of the king of the moon, as her husband. Thus Budha begot in
her womb a son named Purūravā.” Tr. Swami Prabhupada

This is also mentioned in Matsya Purana 11.50 and Brahmanda Purana 2.3.60.15-17.

MITRA AND VARUNA

Shatapatha Brahmana also promotes Homosexuality, it is about the homosexual act of

the Vedic gods Mitra-Varuna,
Satapatha Brahmana 2.4.4.19 In that same night Mitra implants seed in Varuna, and
when it (the moon) then it is produced from that seed…

OTHERS

There’s a story of King Dilipa in a Bengali Ramayana called Krittvasa Ramayana. In

this Ramayana it is stated that King Dilip died without having any son. His kingdom
had become kingless, the gods were worried so Shiva ordered King Dilipa’s two wives
to have sex with each other like a man. One of the wife conceived a son who was later
known as Bhagiratha. There are two versions in the Krittvasa Ramayana, I am
mentioning only one, the second version names the two queens as Chandra and Mala.

Krittvasa Ramayana, Adi Kanda “Dilipa ruled like Indra, the king of the gods, but was
sad as he did not have a son. Leaving behind his two wives in the city of Ayodhya,
Dilipa went in search of the Ganga….On his death the city of Ayodhya was kingless…
Riding his bull, Shiva went to Dilipa’s two queens and said to them: ‘By my blessings,
one of you will have a son.’ Hearing Shiva’s words, the two women said: ‘We are
widows, how can we have a child?’ Shankara replied: ‘You two have intercourse with
one another. By my blessings one of you will have a lovely child.’ Having bestowed
this boon, the god who destroys the three worlds went his way. The two wives of
Dilipa took bath. They lived together in extreme love. After days, one of them
menstruated. Both of them knew one another’s intentions and enjoyed love play, and
one of them conceived….” Tr. Kumkum Roy
As mentioned in the book Same-Sex Love in India, by Ruth Vanita, Published by
Penguin UK, 20-Oct-2008

There is another version mentioned in Bengali version of Padma Purana,

Padma Purana, Svarga Khanda 16.6-24 “King Dilipa had no son, and after a long time,
he died. His two wives were constantly sad. They went to the hermitage of the sage
Vasistha and said to him, ‘The dynastic line descended from King Sagara has been
broken, and the kingdom has been attacked by enemies. Tell us what to do.’ When he
heard this, the great sage thought deeply about the matter, and when he had made his
decision he said to the two queens, ‘This human dynasty will not be terminated. A
noble son will be born to the two of you, fine ladies with beautiful eyes. I will make a
supreme effort on your behalf.’ When he had said this, Vasistha cooked up a
consecrated pot of rice and milk (caru) that was infused with all good qualities, using
the proper ritual for one who wished to have a son. Then he said to the two noble
women, ‘One of you must eat this consecrated pot of rice and milk, and the other must
have intercourse with her in the manner of a man.’ When the women heard this, they
did what the great sage had told them to do. The eldest queen became pregnant, and
after the usual time brought forth a son. But since the boy had been born without any
semen of a man, he was born without any bones, and was just like a ball (pinda) of
flesh. The two queens named him Bhaghiratha…” Tr. Wendy Doniger

This is the Padma Purana of Bengali manuscript not to be found in the one translated
by N.A Deshpande.

Niyoga
Niyoga is sanctioned by Hindu scriptures. Swami Vivekananda writes,

“…Another cause was instrumental in bringing this about — the change in the system
of marriage. The earliest system was a matriarchal one; that is, one in which the
mother was the centre, and in which the girls acceded to her station. This led to the
curious system of the Polianders [polyandrous], where five and six brothers often
married one wife. Even the Vedas contain a trace of it in the provision, that when a
man died without leaving any children, his widow was permitted to live with another
man, until she became a mother; but the children she bore did not belong to their
father, but to her dead husband…” By Swami Vivekananda, Ideals of Womanhood,
(Brooklyn Standard Union, January 21, 1895)
https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/The_Complete_Works_of_Swami_Vivekananda/Volume_2/Reports_in_American_Newspapers/Ideals_of_Wo

It is mentioned in Sutras,

Gautama Dharma Shastra 18.4 A woman whose husband is dead and who desires
offspring (may bear a son) to her brother-in-law. [6] (On failure of a brother-in-law
she may obtain offspring) by (cohabiting with) a Sapinda, a Sagotra, a Samanapravara,
or one who belongs to the same caste.

Baudhyana Dharma Sutra 2.2.4.7-9 A widow shall avoid during a year (the use of)
honey, meat spirituous liquor, and salt, and sleep on the ground. Maudgalya (declares
that she shall do so) during six months. After (the expiration of) that (time) she may,
with the permission of her Gurus, bear a son to her brother in law, in case she has no
son.

It is mentioned in Puranas,

Garuda Purana ch 95 ”The younger brother of a husband, may go unto a childless wife
of his elder brother for the purpose of begetting an offspring on her person with the
permission of his elders, first had and obtained in that behalf, and with his body
annointed with clarified butter.” Tr. M.N. Dutt Another version of this Purana
translated by J.L. Shastri is given below,

Garuda Purana I.95.16-17 “For producing a son and a heir in the family the brother-in-
law or a cousin or a person of the same clan can have intercourse with an issueless
widow till she conceives. If he touches her after that he becomes degraded. The son
born thus is the legitimate son of the deceased husband.” Tr. J.L. Shastri

Kurma Purana 2.22.98 ”…a son born of the Niyoga rite should perform Sraddha to his
progenitor as well as the dead husband of his mother. Then he shall be the true heir. If
a son is born out of the semen virile without the sanction of Niyoga, the son should
offer Pindas to the progenitor. However, he may perform Sraddha to the Ksetrin
(mother’s husbands).” Tr. G.V. Tagare

It is mentioned in Vishnu Smriti,

Vishnu Smriti 15.1-3 Now there are twelve kinds of sons. The first is the son of the
body, viz. he who is begotten (by the husband) himself on his own lawfully wedded
wife. The second is the son begotten on a wife, viz. one begotten by a kinsman allied
by funeral oblations, or by a member of the highest caste, on an appointed (wife or
widow).

It is mentioned in Yajnavalkya Smriti,

Yajnavalkya Smriti, Book 1 Achara Adhyaya, chapter 3, verse 68 ”The younger

brother of the husband, a Sapinda or a Sagotra, being anointed with clarified butter,
and with the permission of the Guru, may go to a sonless widows, when in season,
with the desire of raising a son.” Tr. R.B.S. Chandra Vidyarnava

Maharshi Manu writes,

Manu Smriti 9.190 ”Let the widow of a deceased, sonless man get a son procreated on
her person by a man of her husband’s Gotra (i.e., his younger brother, or a Sapinda
relation), and let the entire estate of that deceased person be invested in that son.” Tr.
M.N. Dutt

Vasistha Dharma Shastra 17.56 “After the completion of six months she shall bathe,
and offer a funeral oblation to her husband. (Then) her father or her brother shall
assemble the Gurus who taught or sacrificed (for the deceased) and his relatives, and
shall appoint her (to raise issue to her deceased husband)…Let him approach (the
widow) in the muhuarta sacred to Pragapati (behaving) like a husband, without
(amorously) dallying with her, and without abusing or ill-treating her.”

Katyayana Smriti verse 859 “When a person begets a fruit (a son) with the consent of
the owner of the field (husband of the wife), both of them are entitled to the fruit (the
son), since a fruit is not produced in the absence of one (of the two).” Tr. P.V. Kane

Manu Smriti 9.59 ”In the absence of a son, a woman wishing to obtain a progeny,
shall lie down under an appointment, with a younger brother, or with a Sapinda
relation, of her husband for the procreation of a son.” Tr. M.N. Dutt

Manu Smriti 3.173 ”He, who, otherwise than under an appointment of begetting a son
on her, visits the widow of his deceased elder brother, out of passion, is called the
husband of a deceased elder brother’s widow.” Tr. M.N. Dutt

Niyoga in Manu is obscure. There are couple of stories which proves Niyoga existed
in the Vedic period, Niyoga was perhaps also used to satisfy the desire which is
evident from the story of Muni Vyasa and maid servant. Sage Vasistha the son of
Mitra-Varuna had contracted Niyoga with the wife of a King,

Mahabharata 1.179.33-47 ”…O best of Brahmanas, I desire to obtain from thee that by
which, O foremost of all that are conversant with the Vedas, I may be freed from the
debt I owe to the race of Ikshvaku! O best of men, it behoveth thee to grant me, for the
perpetuation of Ikshvaku’s race, a desirable son possessing beauty and
accomplishments and good behaviour.’ “The Gandharva continued, ‘Thus addressed,
Vasishtha, that best of Brahmanas devoted to truth replied unto that mighty bowman
of a monarch, saying, ‘I will give you…After the royal sage had entered his capital,
the queen, at the king’s command, approached Vasishtha. The great Rishi, making a
covenant with her, united himself with her according to the high ordinance. And after
a little while, when the queen conceived, that best of Rishis, receiving the reverential
salutations of the king, went back to his asylum. The queen bore the embryo in her
womb for a long time. When she saw that she did not bring forth anything, she tore
open her womb by a piece of stone. It was then that at the twelfth year (of the
conception) was born Asmaka, that bull amongst men, that royal sage who founded
(the city of) Paudanya.” Tr. K.M. Ganguli

This story is also mentioned in Srimad Bhagavatam 9.9 and Narada Purana,

Narada Purana, Uttarabhaga 28.32 “O Brahmana, the activities of the Lord are beyond
human scrutiny though he abides by the favourably Dharma. Vyasa the son of
Parasara, is himself the classifier of the Vedas. He was a man of truthful vision. His
very form is worthy of being worshipped. (But) he was born of the semen virile of one
who destroyed the virginity (of a woman). Hence he is called a Kanina (son of an
unmarried girl). Moreover, he had sexual intercourse with the wives of his younger
brothers.” Tr. G.V. Tagare

Satyavati requested Vyasa who was born of her form Parasara, to have sons from the
queens of his younger brother Vicitravirya as mentioned in Mahabharata Adi Parva
section 104 & 105

This king was cursed thus he couldn’t impregnate his wife and requested Vasistha to
impregnate her. But why did Vasistha do that when he could have just discharged
semen in a pot and give birth to a son just like he was born or else use his mystic
power to remove the curse. Another sage named Dirghatama had done similar act with
the wife of King Bali named Sudeshana but the King wasn’t cursed,

Mahabharata 1.104.37-47 ”The virtuous Vali, ever devoted to truth, then learning who
the man was that was thus saved by him, chose him for raising up offspring. And Vali
said, ‘O illustrious one, it behoveth thee to raise upon my wife a few sons that shall be
virtuous and wise.’ Thus addressed, the Rishi endued with great energy, expressed his
willingness. Thereupon king Vali sent his wife Sudeshna unto him. But the queen
knowing that the latter was blind and old went not unto him, she sent unto him her
nurse. And upon that Sudra woman the virtuous Rishi of passions under full control
begat eleven children of whom Kakshivat was the eldest…Thy unfortunate queen
Sudeshna, seeing me blind and old, insulted me by not coming herself but sending
unto me, instead, her nurse.’ The king then pacified that best of Rishis and sent unto
him his queen Sudeshna. The Rishi by merely touching her person said to her, ‘Thou
shalt have five children…” Tr. K.M. Ganguli

Let me show you the ugly side of this Rishi Dirghatama,

Matsya Purana 48.67-76 ”After that, King Bali appeased that sage and was furious
with his wife; and sent her again well-dressed, after her toilet, to the sage, when the
seer said. ”O. Devi! Cast off your bashfulness and then lick the whole of my body
with your tongue, after rubbing it with salt, curds and honey; you will then attain your
wish and get sons.” The queen followed the directions of the seer, but omitted to lick
the hind private parts. When the sage said; ”O, blessed one! Your eldest son will be
without that part of the body which you have omitted to lick.” The queen said:- ”Sire!
It is not worthy of you to bless me with such an offspring. Be pleased at my devotion
and show your mercy to me.” Dirghatama said:- ”O, Blessed one, through your fault
this will happen exactly as I have told you and this son of yours will not delight you in
any way, but your grandson will; he will, however, not feel the necessity of the
missing part of his body.” Then the sage, touching her abdomen, said, ”O, queen
because you have licked all parts of my body except the privates, your sons will be
like the full moon, and, in all you will be blessed with five sons of Divine beauty who
will be most illustrious, renowned, righteous and performers of sacrifices.” Tr.
Taluqdar of Oudh, Edited by B.D. Basu

Why does the Rishi need to do this shameless act? We read in scriptures that gods and
sages possess mystic power and are capable to do anything. Even if the king is
impotent or infertile then why doesn’t he use the spells mentioned in the Vedas for
fertility? If the Virility spells in the Vedas are useless then why keep it in the Vedas
just tear and throw it away. Why fill the society which such vulgar Vedic practices.

A sage named Angira had also contracted Niyoga with the wife of Rathitara,

Srimad Bhagavatam 9.6.2-3 ”Rathītara had no sons, and therefore he requested the
great sage Aṅgirā to beget sons for him. Because of this request, Aṅgirā begot sons in
the womb of Rathītara’s wife. All these sons were born with brahminical prowess.—
Having been born from the womb of Rathītara’s wife, all these sons were known as
the dynasty of Rathītara, but because they were born from the semen of Aṅgirā, they
were also known as the dynasty of Aṅgirā. Among all the progeny of Rathītara, these
sons were the most prominent because, owing to their birth, they were considered
brāhmaṇas.” Tr. Swami Prabhupada

King Pandu was also born of Niyoga. After his marriage he urged his wife Kunti to
contract Niyoga with other men and beget offspring. Pandu’s biological father was
Muni Vyasa,

Devi Bhagavatam 6.25.1-10 ”Vyasa said :– OKing! The mother became astonished to
hear me. Becoming very anxious for a son, she began to speak to me. O Child! The
wife of your brother, the daughter Ambalika of Kasiraj, is a widow; she is very
sorrowful; she is endowed with all auspicious signs and endowed with all good
qualities; better cohabit with that beautiful young wife and get a child according to the
tradition of the S’istas…Seeing me an ascetic with matted hairs on my head and void
of every love sentiment, perspiration came on her face; her body turned pale and her
mind void of any love towards me. When I saw that lady trembling and pale beside
me, I angrily spoke :– “O One of beautiful waist! When you have turned out pale,
considering your own beauty, let your son be of a pale colour.” Thus saying I spent
there that night with Ambalika. After enjoying her I took farewell from my mother and
went to my place.” Tr. Swami Vijnananda

It is also mentioned in Mahabharata Adi Parva 106. Muni Vyasa was appointed to
cohabit with the princess but at first the princess sent a maid. Despite knowing that it
was a maid servant Muni Vyasa enjoyed her. Vyasa speaks about it in the following
way,

Devi Bhagvatam 6.25.11-21 ”Ambika sent to me a maid-servant of Vichitravîrya, full

of youth and beauty, and adorned with various ornaments and clothings. That maid-
servant of beautiful hairs and of a swan-like gait adorned with garlands and red
sandal-paste, came to me with many enchanting gestures and making me take my seat
on the cot, became herself merged in love sentiments. O Muni! I became pleased with
her gestures and amorous sports and passed the night, full of love towards her and
played and cohabited with her.” Tr. Vijnananda

The story of Muni Vyasa cohabiting with the maid servant is also mentioned in Devi
Bhagavatam 2.6.1-12. King Pandu was afflicted with a curse and thus couldn’t
approach his wife for carnal purpose. But he did not hesitate in ordering his wife to
cohabit with other men,

Mahabharata1.120 ”Hearing these words of the ascetics, Pandu, remembering the loss
of his procreative powers owing to the curse of the deer, began to reflect deeply. And
calling his wedded wife the excellent Kunti, unto him, he told her in private, ‘Strive
thou to raise offspring at this time of distress… The religious institutes mention six
kinds of sons that are heirs and kinsmen, and six other kinds that are not heirs but
kinsmen. I shall speak of them presently. O Pritha, listen to me. They are: 1st, the son
begotten by one’s own self upon his wedded wife; 2nd, the son begotten upon one’s
wife by an accomplished person from motives of kindness; 3rd, the son begotten upon
one’s wife by a person for pecuniary consideration; 4th, the son begotten upon the
wife after the husband’s death; 5th, the maiden-born son; 6th, the son born of an
unchaste wife; 7th, the son given; 8th, the son bought for a consideration; 9th, the son
self-given; 10th, the son received with a pregnant bride; 11th, the brother’s son; and
12th, the son begotten upon a wife of lower caste. On failure of offspring of a prior
class, the mother should desire to have offspring of the next class. In times of distress,
men solicit offspring from accomplished younger brothers. The self-born Manu hath
said that men failing to have legitimate offspring of their own may have offspring
begotten upon their wives by others, for sons confer the highest religious merit.
Therefore, O Kunti, being destitute myself of the power of procreation, I command
thee to raise good offspring through some person who is either equal or superior
to me. O Kunti, listen to the history of the daughter of Saradandayana who was
appointed by her lord to raise offspring. That warrior-dame, when her monthly season
arrived, bathed duly and in the night went out and waited on a spot where four roads
met. She did not wait long when a Brahmana crowned with ascetic success came
there. The daughter of Saradandayana solicited him for offspring. After pouring
libations of clarified butter on the fire (in the performance of the sacrifice known by
the name of Punsavana) she brought forth three sons that were mighty car-warriors
and of whom Durjaya was the eldest, begotten upon her by that Brahmana. O thou of
good fortune, do thou follow that warrior-dame’s example at my command, and
speedily raise offspring out of the seed of some Brahmana of high ascetic merit.” Tr.
K.M. Ganguli

King Pandu also ordered his wife Kunti to conceive children with the Sun god Surya,

Mahabharata 1.123.1-9 “Vaisampayana said, ‘O Janamejaya, when Gandhari’s

conception had been a full year old, it was then that Kunti summoned the eternal god
of justice to obtain offspring from him. And she offered without loss of time,
sacrifices unto the god and began to duly repeat the formula that Durvasa had
imparted to her some time before. Then the god, overpowered by her incantations,
arrived at the spot where Kunti was seated in his car resplendent as the Sun. Smiling,
he asked, ‘O Kunti, what am I to give thee?’ And Kunti too smiling in her turn,
replied, ‘Thou must even give me offspring.’ Then the handsome Kunti was united (in
intercourse) with the god of justice in his spiritual form and obtained from him a son
devoted to the good of all creatures. And she brought his excellent child, who lived to
acquire a great fame…And this first child of Pandu shall be known by the name of
Yudhishthira. Possessed of prowess and honesty of disposition, he shall be a famous
king, known throughout the three worlds.’

Not to confuse this consensual sex with the rape. When Surya raped Kunti a son
named Karna was born, see Devi Bhagavatam 2.6.36-48 and it happened before her
marriage. While the above one happened after her marriage to King Pandu and a son
name Yuddhishtira was born. So both these are two different stories. As Hindu
scripture permits Niyoga, King Pandu had absolutely no problem with it. He kept on
asking his wife to contract Niyoga with many men, finally the distressed Kunti
resisted it and addressed Pandu in the following way,

Mahabharata 1.123.75-77 “The celebrated Pandu, tempted by the desire of having

more children wished to speak again unto his wedded wife (for invoking some other
god). But Kunti addressed him, saying, ‘The wise do not sanction a fourth delivery
even in a season of distress. The woman having intercourse with four different men is
called a Swairini (heanton), while she having intercourse with five becometh a harlot.
Therefore, O learned one, as thou art well-acquainted with the scripture on this
subject, why dost thou, beguiled by desire of offspring, tell me so in seeming
forgetfulness of the ordinance?'” Tr. K.M. Ganguli

This is just a reason given by Kunti to stop her husband from violating her by other
men. Vedic law permits a women to cohabit with up to 11 men to beget children.
When Parashurama the sixth avatar of Vishnu annhilated Kshatriya men 21 times, the
female Kshatriyas went to Brahmins to contract Niyoga and begat progen who were
Kshatriyas as the law of Niyoga is that the son belongs to the deceased father but not
to the biological father who contracted Niyoga. Kshatriya women contracted Niyoga
with Brahmin twenty-one times,

Brahmanda Purana 2.3.46.29-33 “After killing all the Ksatriyas on the surface of the
Earth, Rama became calm…Ksatriya kings were begotten of the widowed wives of
those Ksatriyas by Brahmanas. Again he (Rama) killed hundreds and thousands of
such kings. In two years, Rama made the Earth devoid of Ksatriyas once again…
Again, O king, enlightened Ksatriyas were procreated by the Brahmanas. Rama killed
them entirely like the god of death, the destroyer of the Earth.” Tr. G.V. Tagare

Mahabharata 1.104.4-7 “And the illustrious scion of Bhrigu’s race, by means of his
swift arrows annihilated the Kshatriya tribe one and twenty times. “And when the
earth was thus deprived of Kshatriyas by the great Rishi, the Kshatriya ladies all over
the land had offspring raised by Brahmanas skilled in the Vedas. It has been said in the
Vedas that the sons so raised belongeth to him that had married the mother. And the
Kshatriya ladies went in unto the Brahamanas not lustfully but from motives of virtue.
Indeed, it was thus that the Kshatriya race was revived.” Tr. K.M. Ganguli

Bestiality
Hinduism also allows Bestiality i.e. sex with animals. As I already mentioned, Shiva
had raped Agni whilst Agni was in the form a bird which is a case of bestiality, let me
quote that passage again,

Brahma Purana, Gautami-Mahatmya 58.16-24 ”At the instance of Devas the fire-god
assumed the form of a parrot and went to the place where the lord of the worlds was
sporting with Uma…The lord of Devas called the fire-god moving about in front of
him, in the form of a bird and said, ”O Agni, you have been recognised through
various ways. Do not speak anything. Open your mouth. Take this in and carry it with
you.” After saying this lord Sambhu discharged a great deal of semen into the
mouth of fire-god. With this semen within him Agni could not at all go. Utterly tired,
Agni sat down on the bank of Ganga. He then discharged a greater portion of that
semen into Krttikas wherefrom Karttika was born. The remaining portion of the semen
of Sambhu that had been within his body, Agni split into two and deposited into his
beloved wife Svaha who was particularly eager to have a child.” Tr. Board of
Scholars, Edited by J.L. Shastri

A passage from Mahabharata shows that a Rishi named Kindama used to have sex
with other deer as he was uncomfortable in having sex with humans,

Mahabharata 1.118.5-38 “Vaisampayana said, ‘O king, one day Pandu, while roaming
about in the woods (on the southern slopes of the Himavat) that teemed with deer and
wild animals of fierce disposition, saw a large deer, that seemed to be the leader of a
herd, serving his mate. Beholding the animals, the monarch pierced them both with
five of his sharp and swift arrows winged with golden feathers. O monarch, that was
no deer that Pandu struck at, but a Rishi’s son of great ascetic merit who was enjoying
his mate in the form of a deer. Pierced by Pandu, while engaged in the act of
intercourse, he fell down to the ground, uttering cries that were of a man and began to
weep bitterly…[Rishi in deer form said] The time of sexual intercourse is agreeable to
every creature and productive of good to all. O king [Pandu], with this my mate I was
engaged in the gratification of my sexual desire. But that effort of mine hath been
rendered futile by thee…I am, O king [Pandu], a Muni who liveth on fruits and roots,
though disguised as a deer…I was engaged in sexual intercourse with this deer,
because my feelings of modesty did not permit me to indulge in such an act in human
society. In the form of a deer I rove in the deep woods in the company of other deer.
Thou hast slain me without knowing that I am a Brahmana, the sin of having slain a
Brahmana shall not, therefore, be thine. But senseless man, as you have killed me,
disguised as a deer, at such a time, thy fate shall certainly be even like mine. When,
approaching thy wife lustfully, thou wilt unite with her even as I had done with
mine… Tr. Kisari Mohan Ganguli

Maharshi Manu writes that many sages were born after sages had sex with animals,
Manu Smriti 10.72 ”Since through their excellent energies (potency), seeds, cast in the
wombs of beasts (by the holy sages), fructified in the shapes of human beings, who
became honoured and commendable Rishis in life; the seed is commended (as of
greater importance in an act of fecundation).” Tr. M.N. Dutt

Ved Vyasa was attracted to Apsara Ghritachi even after she assumed the form of a
parrot,

Narada Purana II.58.18-25 “After having obtained that excellent boon from the Lord,
Vyasa, the son of Satyavati, was one day engaged in churning the sacrificial sticks,
with the desire of making a fire (for sacrificial purpose). At that time, the illustrious
sage happened to see a heavenly damsel called Ghrtaci who, in consequence of her
brilliant splendour, possessed excellent beauty. Seeing that celestial damsel, in that
forest, the great sage Vyasa became instantly passionately enamoured of her. After
making Vyasa deeply agitated with passion, the most beautiful Ghrtaci, transforming
herself into a she-parrot, approached him. Even after seeing the celestial lady
disguised in another form, he was overcome with cupid (passionate love) who spread
in every part of his body…Due to the inevitablity of Destiny (lit.what was to happen)
the heart of the sage was fascinated by the (beautiful) form (of Ghrtaci). With the
desire to do this (viz. the kindling of fire) while he was suppressing his passion with
special efforts, all of sudden his semen fell on the churning sticks. It was thus that the
great ascetic Suka was born, while Vyasa continued the churning of sacrificial sticks.”
Tr. G.V. Tagare

There is another version of this story Devi Bhagavatam 1.14.1-70

A demon named Rambha was a devotee of the fire god Agni. Not to get confused with
this demon Rambha as the Apsara named Rambha. He was desirous of having
progeny. Agni accepted his prayer and said that he should immediately copulate with
any specie and he will get a progeny.

Devi Bhagavatam 5.2.27-31 ”…Vyasa said :– O king! Hearing thus the sweet words
of Fire, Rambha quitted the hold of his hairs and said :– O Lord of the Devas! If thou
art pleased, grant my desired boon that a son be born unto me, who will destroy the
forces of my enemy and who will conquer the three worlds. And that son be invincible
in every way by the Devas, Danavas and men, very powerful, assuming forms at will,
and respected by all. The Fire [Agni] said :– O highly Fortunate! You will get your
son, as you desire; therefore desist now from your attempting suicide. O highly
fortunate Rambha! With any female of whichever species, you will co-habit, you will
get a son, more powerful than you; there is no doubt in this. Vyasa said :– O king!
Hearing thus the sweet words of the Fire as desired, Rambha, the chief of the Danavas,
went, surrounded by Yaksas, to a beautiful place, adorned with picturesque sceneries;
when one lovely she-buffalo, who was very maddened with passion, fell to the sight of
Rambha. And he desired to have sexual intercourse with her, in preference to other
women. The she-buffallo, too, gladly yielded to his purpose and Rambha had sexual
intercourse with her, impelled as it were by the destiny. The she-buffalo became
pregnant with his semen virile…” Tr. Swami Vijnananda

Why does a Vedic god like Agni command his devotee to have sex with ‘any specie’?
The word of god becomes the command and can be taken as permissibility. The
excerpts from Manu Smriti itself are enough to prove bestiality was practised in the
Vedic period.

There’s a story in Vishnu Purana about King Satadhanu who had taken birth as a dog
due to committing the ‘sin’ of speaking with an infidel. His wife after taking rebirth as
the daughter of Kasi recognized her husband and married him while he was still a dog,

Vishnu Purana 3.18.64-67 “With the eye of divine intelligence she knew that her own
husband had been regenerate as a dog, and going once to the city of Vaidiśá she saw
the dog, and recognised her former lord in him. Knowing that the animal was her
husband, she placed upon his neck the bridal garland, accompanying it with the
marriage rites and prayers…” Tr. H.H. Wilson

Sex Positions
Why the word of god has to explain sex position? It’s not a porn literature after all.
We have already seen how the Vedas talks about sex position. When Vedas the
highest authoritative text can teach such vulgar things then why can’t other Hindu
scriptures,

Brihadaranyaka Upanishad 6.4.9-10 ”If a man desires his wife with the thought: ”May
she enjoy love with me.” Then, after inserting the member in her, joining mouth to
mouth and stroking her organ, he should utter the following mantra ”O semen, you
have been produced from my every limb…Bring this women under my control, like a
deer pierced by a poisoned arrow.” Now, the wife whome he desires with the thought:
”May she not conceive”- after inserting the member in her and joining mouth to
mouth, she should inhale and exhale, repeating the following mantra: ”with power,
with semen, I reclaim the semen from you.” Thus she comes to be without semen.” Tr.
Swami Nikhilananda

There is another verse in Brihadaranyaka Upanishad which is based on Vedas,

Atharva Veda 14.2.71 ”O bride, I am Amah and you are Saa I am Saman and you are
Rik and I am sun and you earth. Let both of us unite together and procreate progeny.”
Tr. Vaidyanath Shastri (Arya Samaj)

Brihadaranyaka Upanishad 6.4.20-22 Then he embraces her, repeating the following

mantra: I am the vital breath and you are speech. You are speech and I am the vital
breath. I am Saman and you are Rig; I am heaven and you are earth. Come, let us
strive together so that we may have a male child.” Then he spreads apart her thighs,
repeating the following mantra: “Spread yourselves apart, Heaven and Earth.”
Inserting the member in her and joining mouth to mouth, he strokes her three times
from head to foot, repeating the following mantra:” Let Vishnu make the womb
capable of bearing a son! Let Tvashtra shape the various limbs of the child! Let
Prajapati pour in the semen! Let Dhatra support the embryo! O Sinivali, make her
conceive; O goddess whose glory is widespread, make her conceive! May the two
Atvins, garlanded with lotuses, support the embryo! “Let the two Atvins chum the
womb with the two golden arani sticks! I am placing a seed in your womb to be
delivered in the tenth month. As the earth has fire in its womb, as heaven is pregnant
with the sun, as the quarters are impregnated by air, so I am impregnating you by
placing this seed in your womb.” After the reciting of the mantra, he utters his own
name and that of his wife and places the seed.” Tr. Swami Nikhilananda

The Padma Purana also shows vulgarity,

Padma Purana II.53.98-109 ”…O messenger, the organs of generation of the male and
also of the female throb. Then the male and the female, being inflamed with passion,
unite. The body (of the male) is rubbed with the body (of the female). Due to coitus a
momentary pleasure is produced…” Tr. N.A. Deshpande

Padma Purana V.100.59b-77 ”…O king, there is the itching for sex in all beings. The
penis of the man expands, so also the vulva of the woman. The woman and the man,
getting mad, are then united. Due to rubbing of one body with another, there is a
momentary pleasure…” Tr. N.A. Deshpande

Oral Sex
There is a story of the sun god raping his wife by inserting his male organ into her
mouth,

Brahma Purana 4.42-43 ”The lord assumed the form of a horse and approached her as
she grazed about fearlessly in the form of a mare. It was in her mouth that he had his
sexual intercourse, as she began fidgeting due to her suspicion that he might be a
person other than her own husband. She let out the semen of Vivasvat through her
nostrils.” Tr. Board of Scholars, Edited by J.L. Shastri

This is also mentioned in Shiva Purana,

Shiva Purana, UmaSamhita 5.35.32-34 ”He assumed the form of a horse and
approached her for sexual indulgence with her who could not be overwhelmed by any
living being due to her lustre and observance of restraint. O sage, in the course of the
sexual activity she suspected him to be another man. Hence she received the semen
through the mouth into the nostril. Thence were born the twin gods Asvins, the
foremost among physicians.” Tr. Board of Scholars, Edited by Jagdish Lal Shastri

This story is also mentioned in Matsya Purana 11.34-37 and Brahmanda Purana
2.3.59.74-76. This is also mentioned in Nirukta and Vedas although it doesn’t give
much detail like above verses. Kama Sutra also speaks about oral sex, although I
shouldn’t quote Kama Sutra here but after reading other Hindu scriptures and Kama
Sutra I find no difference between them,

Kama Sutra 2.9 When, holding the man’s lingam with his hand, and placing it between
his lips, the eunuch moves about his mouth, it is called the ‘nominal congress’. When,
covering the end of the lingam with his fingers collected together like the bud of a
plant or flower, the eunuch presses the sides of it with his lips, using his teeth also, it is
called ‘biting the sides’. When, being desired to proceed, the eunuch presses the end of
the lingam with his lips closed together, and kisses it as if he were drawing it out, it is
called the ‘outside pressing’. When, being asked to go on, he puts the lingam further
into his mouth, and presses it with his lips and then takes it out, it is called the ‘inside
pressing’. When, holding the lingam in his hand, the eunuch kisses it as if he were
kissing the lower lip, it is called ‘kissing’. When, after kissing it, he touches it with his
tongue everywhere, and passes the tongue over the end of it, it is called ‘rubbing’.
When, in the same way, he puts the half of it into his mouth, and forcibly kisses and
sucks it, this is called ‘sucking a mango fruit’. And lastly, when, with the consent of
the man, the eunuch puts the whole lingam into his mouth, and presses it to the very
end, as if he were going to swallow it up, it is called ‘swallowing up‘.

Masturbation
The Padma Purana clearly shows how a woman masturbates, but why should the word
of god do that?

Padma Purana V.112.23a-33a ”On the death of the husband before (her death) she
should not enter fire (with the thought) ‘In my widowhood, all this wealth will be
useful for my religious merit.’ Resolving like this with (i.e. in) her mind, when
widowhood has come, she, when she gets and itching of the vulva (i.e. has a desire for
sex) by day or at night, she said (i.e. would say), after having gone to a lonely place
and after having uncovered (i.e. taken off) her garment, to her vulva these words,
through grief, and with her hand on her generative organ: ”O vulva, what have you
done? What sin have you committed? Or is it the sin of the penis due to having got
into you? Or is it the sin of the doer due to avoiding service like me?” Even then when
the itch is produced, she would put her finger (into her vulva); and due to the feeling
of the itch she would do strange movements after that. Having rubbed it with her
hands, having struck it and having expanded it, she, being extremely pained,
repeatedly shook her feet. She, after having embraced the (piece of) wood of the cot,
and pressed her breasts (against it) as she liked, became sad due to peculiar disposition
of her mind…” Tr. Board of Scholars; G.V. Tagare

Mahabharata 3.224.7 “Markandeya continued, ‘Then Agni, filled with great joy and
delight, married Swaha in the guise of Siva, and that lady joyfully cohabiting with
him, held the semen virile in her hands.” Tr. K.M. Ganguli

Kama Sutra 5.6 The women of the royal harem cannot see or meet any men on
account of their being strictly guarded, neither do they have their desires satisfied,
because their only husband is common to many wives. For this reason among
themselves they give pleasure to each other in various ways as now described. Having
dressed the daughters of their nurses, or their female friends, or their female
attendants, like men, they accomplish their object by means of bulbs, roots, and fruits
having the form of the lingam, or they lie down upon the statue of a male figure, in
which the lingam is visible and erect.

Open/Group Sex
Many Hindu gods and sages used to have sex in the open mostly in the forest without
any hesitation. Many a times their act was seen by other people also. One such story is
of Indra copulating with Paulomi and this act was seen by a sage named Anga,

INDRA

Padma Purana II.30.76-85 ”O brahmanas, once the brahmana, the very lustrous and
vigorous son of Atri went to the Nandana (garden); there is saw Indra, Pakasasana. He
saw Indra, who was accompanied by hosts of celestial nymphs and Gandharvas and
Kinnaras…who was adorned with all ornaments, who was engaged in sexual sports,
who possessed an unlimited prowess…By his side he saw the blessed virtuous
Paulomi, charming and auspicious, glorious with beauty, lustre and penance, shining
with good fortune and chastity. With her that Indra enjoyed in the Nandana forest.
Seeing his sport, the best brahmana Anga (thought): ‘Lucky is the king of gods who is
surrounded by such (beings). Oh, (great) is the power of his penance, due to which he
has obtained such a great (i.e. high) position.” Tr. N.A. Deshpande

Another act of Indra,

Mahabharata 3.115.17 ”…And the mighty ruler of the Haihaya tribe placing himself
on his celestial car, affronted Indra, while that deity was enjoying himself with Sachi,
his queen. Then, O Bharata’s son, the blessed and the revered god (Vishhnu) held a
consultation with Indra…” Tr. K.M. Ganguli

SHIVA

Shiva was an ascetic by name only. He did many shameless act,

Devi Bhagavatam 1.12.1-53 ”…Once on a time, Sanaka and other Risis went to this
forest to pay a visit to Sankara [Shiva], illuminating the ten quarters by their holy aura.
But then Bhagavan Sankara was in amorous dealings with Sankari. The beautiful Devi
Ambika was then naked and sitting on the lap of Sankara and therefore became very
much ashamed at their sight…” Tr. Swami Vijnananda

It is also mentioned in Brahmanda Purana 2.3.60.24-26a, But this didn’t stop Shiva
from cohabiting in the open. This time he cohabited in a forest and was seen by the
sage Bhrigu who later cursed him,
Devi Bhagavatam 4.20.36-37 ”O King! When Mahadeva [Shiva], being infatuated
with Kama, went into the forest of Bhrigu and becoming naked, began to copulate, the
ascetic Bhrigu, seeing him in that state, exclaimed “O You are very shameless” and
cursed Him thus :– Let your penis drop off just now. Mahadeva, then to satisfy his
thirst for passion, began to drink the water of the lake Amrita Vapi, dug by the
Danavas.” Tr. Swami Vijnananda

Once Uma the daughter of demon Bana observed the act between Shiva and Parvati
and was struck with passion,

Vishnu Purana 5.32.11-13 “PARASARA.–Usha, the daughter of Bana, having seen

Parvati sporting with her lord, Sambhu, was inspired with a wish for similar
dalliance…” Tr. H.H. Wilson

There is a story in Skanda Purana although it’s not about Shiva or his wife having
open sex but about his wife’s breasts seen by demons when her upper garments was
tossed while playing with ball,

Skanda Purana IV.ii.65.26-27 “The brilliance of her body was completely revealed as
the upper cloth over her breasts was tossed about. The lotus like palms of the goddess
became excessively red as she continuously beat the springing ball. Her eyebrows
seemed to dance as her eyes closely followed the ball. Mrdani, the beautiful mother of
the universe, was playing thus and she was seen by the Ditijas (demons) named Vidala
and Utpala who happened to go through the firmament…” Tr. G.V. Tagare

VISHNU

Devi Bhagavatam 6.28.1-11 ”…Thus the Bhagavan Narayana was playing in amorous
movements with the daughter of the ocean, fully capable to give one delight and
enjoyment. Seeing me, the lovely Devi Kamala, dear to Vasudeva, full of youth and
beauty, decorated with ornaments, endowed with all auspicious signs, superior to all
the women, went away at once (to another room) from the presence of Janardana. The
breast of Laksmi Devi was becoming visible even through the cloth thrown over it…”
Tr. Swami Vijnananda

Vishnu’s avatar Krishna had also done similar act, His girlfriend Radha was too
agitated because of that,

Brahma Vaivarta Purana, Prakriti Khanda 49.1-9 ”…Once upon a time, Lord Krisna,
well decked was sporting with a cow herdess named Viraja on a part of the Sata
Sringa mountain situatied in Vrindavana at the Goloka…Their sexual intercourse was
interminable Krisna and Viraja both expert in sexual intercourse enjoyed the pleasures
of that intercourse. For one Manwantra according to the calculation of the residents of
the Goloka, free from death and birth their intercourse lasted. Four female messengers
of Radha went and informed Radha of the matter. Radha was thereupon highly
incensed and threw down the garland from her breast…She ascended,, with millions
of her beloved female companions…This car was faster in speed than the mind.
Sudama, the friend of Krisna as soon as he perceived the approach of Radha, warned
Krisna and ran away with his associates. Afraid of forfeiting the love of his beloved
Radha, Krishna left the chaste Viraja and disappeared. Viraja, too, through Radha’s
fear, committed suicide…” Tr. Rajendra Nath Sen

RISHIS AND OTHERS

An old sage named Parasara became passionate after he saw a girl named Satyavati on
the boat and wanted to have sex right on the boat before everyone,

Mahabharata 1.63.69-84 ”…While engaged in this vocation, Satyavati was seen one
day by the great Rishi Parasara, in course of his wanderings. As she was gifted with
great beauty, an object of desire even with an anchorite, and of graceful smiles, the
wise sage, as soon as he beheld her, desired to have her. And that bull amongst Munis
addressed the daughter of Vasu of celestial beauty and tapering thighs, saying, ‘Accept
my embraces, O blessed one!’ Satyavati replied, ‘O holy one, behold the Rishis
standing on either bank of the river. Seen by them, how can I grant thy wish?’ “Thus
addressed by her, the ascetic thereupon created a fog (which existed not before and)
which enveloped the whole region in darkness. And the maiden, beholding the fog that
was created by the great Rishi wondered much. And the helpless one became suffused
with the blushes of bashfulness…”And Satyavati gratified with having obtained the
excellent boon in consequence of which she became sweet-scented and her virginity
remained unsullied conceived through Parasara’s embraces. And she brought forth the
very day, on an island in the Yamuna, the child begot upon her by Parasara…” Tr.
K.M. Ganguli

This is also mentioned in Shiva Purana Umasamhita 44.23. The poor girl named
Satyavati couldn’t openly refuse as she was afraid that the Rishi may curse her. So she
tried many other things given below,

Shiva Purana, Umasamhita 5.14.18-25 ”Afflicted with lust the sage caught hold of the
lass. Tremblingly the lass spoke to the merciful sage. ”O great sage, I have foul smell
and black complexion…Afflicted by lust the sage caught hold of her again. On seeing
him bent upon seizing her she said again. ”It is mentioned in the Vedas that sexual
intercourse shall be indulged in at night; not during the day…Hence please wait till the
night falls. Now all the men will see us and so shall my father who stands at the other
bank.” On hearing the words uttered by her, the leader sage immediately created a
screen of snow, thanks to his strength of his merit.” Tr. Board of Scholars, Edited by
J.L. Shastri

As far as my opinion is concerned I consider this to be no different than prostitution.

In prostitution money is exchanged for illicit sex and here the Rishi offered her
pleasant smell and beautiful form. This old Rishi was so aroused that he didn’t care
about her foul smell, her ugly appearance, he held her hand and wanted to have sex
right on the boat, he didn’t even care about other people standing on the other side of
the shore. All he wanted was carnal satisfaction. Who knows the people on the other
side may have seen this act but turned a blind eye because this was such a disgusting
act.

A Rakshasa king spotted a Rishi having sex with his wife,

Narada Purana I.9.52 “Moving about on the banks of the Narmada, that Raksasa
(king) who frightened all the world, happened to see a certain sage engaged in
amorous sports with his beloved.” Tr. G.V. Tagare

On seeing Gandharvas making love a sage became very passionate,

Shiva Purana, Rudra Samhita 2, Parvati Khanda 4, 34.9-10 ”The Gandharva was an
expert in the science of erotics. He was in the company of a woman. He was therefore
completely submerged in the ocean of pleasure, sexual dalliance and was lusty. On
seeing him the great sage became very lustful. He lost interest in penance and began to
think of acquiring a wife.” Tr. Board of Scholars, Edited by J.L. Shastri

King of Gandharva had also copulated in open and was seen by a Brahmin woman,

Srimad Bhagavatam 9.16.2-3 Once when Reṇukā, the wife of Jamadagni, went to the
bank of the Ganges to get water, she saw the King of the Gandharvas, decorated with a
garland of lotuses and sporting in the Ganges with celestial women [Apsarās]. She had
gone to bring water from the Ganges, but when she saw Citraratha, the King of the
Gandharvas, sporting with the celestial girls, she was somewhat inclined toward him
and failed to remember that the time for the fire sacrifice was passing.

GROUP SEX

What else can be more disgusting than this. Balrama the elder brother of Krishna went
to the Gopis which were abandoned by Krishna, they addressed him in the following
way,

Srimad Bhagavatam 10.65.11-12 — “For Kṛṣṇa’s sake, O descendant of Dāśārha, we

abandoned our mothers, fathers, brothers, husbands, children and sisters, even though
these family relations are difficult to give up. But now, O Lord, that same Kṛṣṇa has
suddenly abandoned us and gone away, breaking off all affectionate ties with us. And
yet how could any woman fail to trust His promises?” Tr. Swami Prabhupada

Balrama followed the footsteps of his younger brother Krishna. Balrama had sex with
all of them instead of telling them to lead a chaste life,

Srimad Bhagavatam 10.65.17-18 ”Lord Balarama, the Personality of Godhead, resided

there for the two months of Madhu and Mādhava, and during the nights He gave His
cowherd girlfriends conjugal pleasure. In the company of numerous women, Lord
Balarama enjoyed in a garden by the Yamunā River. This garden was bathed in the
rays of the full moon and caressed by breezes bearing the fragrance of night-blooming
lotuses.” Tr. Swami Prabhupada

Swami Prabhupada tries his level best to show that these Gopis were different from
those enjoyed by Krishna. But Srimad Bhagavatam10.65.9-10 clearly tells that those
Gopis which were enjoyed by Balrama were the same Gopis which Krishna had
enjoyed. Balrama like his brother Krishna was not ashamed at all copulating with
numerous women at the same time. Another passage from Srimad Bhavatam shows
that Apsaras also have group sex,

Srimad Bhagavatam 4.6.25 ”My dear Kṣattā, Vidura, the celestial damsels come down
to those rivers in their airplanes with their husbands, and after sexual enjoyment, they
enter the water and enjoy sprinkling their husbands with water.” Tr. Swami
Prabhupada

As per the story mentioned in Srimad Bhagavatam a sage named Kardama divided
himself into 9 men and impregnated his wife with 9 discharges,

Srimad Bhagavatam 3.23.47 ”The powerful Kardama Muni was the knower of
everyone’s heart, and he could grant whatever one desired. Knowing the spiritual soul,
he regarded her as half of his body. Dividing himself into nine forms, he impregnated
Devahuti with nine discharges of semen.” Tr. Swami Prabhupada

Immorality
Hinduism has many more immoral things prescribed in the scripture. When Shiva’s
wife died, he held her dead body and kissed her frequently which can be described as
Necrophilia,

Brahma Vaivarta Purana, Krishna Janma Khanda 43.1-24 ”…Lamenting thus and
afflicted with grief, he held the dead body of his beloved wife to his breast and kissed
and embraced it again and again. Siva pressed his lips to the lips of his beloved and
embracing her repeatedly swooned again” Tr. Rajendra Nath Sen

Vishnu exchanged his wives and gave away his wives to Shiva and Brahma,

Devi Bhagavatam 9.6.45-67 “…Now go in full Amsas to Brahmâ and become His
wife. Let Gangâ go also in Her fullness to S’iva. Let Padmâ remain with Me. Padmâ is
of a peaceful nature, void of anger, devoted to Me and of a Sâttvika nature…” Tr.
Swami Vijnananda

Also mentioned in Brahma Vaivarta Purana, Prakriti Khanda, Chapter 6, Verse 13-60

It is mentioned in Shastra that if a younger brother marries before the marriage of his
elder brother then he should give his wife to the elder brother and later take her back
after his elder brother has copulated with his wife,

Vasistha Dharma Shastra 20.8-10 Now he who has taken a wife before his elder
brother shall perform a Krikkhra penance and an Atikrikkra penance, give (his wife) to
that (elder brother), marry again, and take (back) the same (woman whome he wedded
first). The husband of a younger sister married before her elder sister shall perform a
Krikkhra penance during twelve days, marry and take to him that (elder sister). The
husband of an elder sister married after the younger one shall perform a Krikkhra
penance and an Atikrikkhra penance, give (his wife) to that (husband of the younger
sister and marry again).

This is also mentioned in Mahabharata,

Mahabharata 12.165.67-70 ”If a younger brother weds before his elder brother, then
the younger brother, the elder brother and the woman that is married, all three, in
consequence of such wedding, become fallen. All of them should observe the vows
prescribed for a person who has neglected his sacrificial fire, or practise the vow of
Chandrayana for a month, or some other painful vow, for cleansing themselves of their
sin. The younger brother, wedding, should give his wife unto his unmarried elder
brother. Afterwards, having obtained the permission of the elder brother, the younger
brother may take back his wife.” Tr. K.M. Ganguli

Manu Smriti 3.171-2 He must be considered as a Parivettri who marries or begins the
performance of the Agnihotra before his elder brother, but the latter as a Parivitti. The
elder brother who marries after the younger, the younger brother who marries before
the elder, the female with whom such a marriage is contracted, he who gives her away,
and the sacrificing priesst, as the fifth, all fall into hell.

A sage named Yajnavalkya accidently impregnated his own sister,

Skanda Purana V.iii.42.8-12 ”She attended to his needs and stayed there performing
penance. On a certain occassion, she had her monthly course during the day when she
took her bath. She saw a rag kept concealed and so wore it as her undergarment. In the
meantime, at night Yajnavalkya had an erotic dream in a place where there was none.
As a result of the dream, there was an emission of semen in his loin cloth. It resembled
a drop of blood…The poor Brahmana woke up and found the piece of cloth defiled.
He thought it not worthy of being touched and so cast it off and washed himself clean
in accordance with the injunctions in the Smrti texts. Bath at night has been
prohibited. So the Brahmana went to sleep again. At midnight the woman took this
cloth and covered her vaginal aperture.” Tr. G.V. Tagare

She later abandoned the child,

Skanda Purana V.iii.42.16-24 ”O lady of auspicious Vratas, it is none of your faults

nor mine. Of the foetus in your womb, fate alone is the cause. It has to be carefully
preserved by you forever. It should not be destroyed. It should be awaited till the
whole period is over.” The chaste lady was ashamed. Yet she said in distress, ”So be
it”. She nurturted the child in the womb till the normal deliver. As soon as the child
was born, the Brahmana lady came to the root of a banyan tree. Abandoning the child
there she spoke thus: ”May all those living beings in all the worlds, mobile and
immoble, protect this child abandoned by me.” Tr. G.V. Tagare

Is it really possible that a woman conceives child just by wearing a loin cloth in which
semen was emitted? In my opinion this sage Yajnavalkya had intercourse with her and
later gave this lame excuse. The semen dries quickly and it needs to be put into the
female organ to impregnate a woman, how did she conceive the child just by wearing
that loin cloth. It is very doubtful.

A story in Skanda Purana goes like,

Skanda Purana I.i.21.112-115 “On being rebuked thus by Rati, the excellent sage
Narada himself hurriedly went to Sambara, the leading Daitya. He intimated to the
king of Daityas that Madana had been burned by Rudra who had become furious.
Then he continued: ‘His wife is a noble-minded lady. Bring her here, O highly
fortunate one. Make her your wife, O mighty one. Among all those beautiful ladies
who have been brought by you, that Rati, the wife of Madana, will be the most
beautiful one.’ On hearing these words of the celestial sage of sanctified soul, he went
to that place where the highly splendid lady was staying.” Tr. G.V. Tagare

Rati insults Sage Narada for his overtures. Sage Narada takes revenge by instigating
Sambara, king of Daityas, to abduct Rati and marry her. He abducts her but couldn’t
marry her as he is unable to touch her as Rati decreed that he would be reduced to
ashes if he touches her so he makes her the chief of his kitchen under the name of
Mayavati. Such was the character of Hindu sage that he instigated a Daitya king to
abduct and marry her just because she insulted him.

Ravana describes beauty of Sita,

Valmiki Ramayana, Aranya Kanda 3.46.16-20 “While standing before her then
Ravana eyed at the auspicious wife of Rama, whose lips and teeth are fine, visage is
shiny like a full moon, and who is presently tortured by her tearful lamentation and
sitting in the straw-cottage, and he approached that lotus-petal eyed Vaidehi who is
dressed in ochry silks, as that night-walker is gladdened at his heart for her solitude.
Glittering like the glitter of gold, silkened in ochry silks, you are like a lotus-tendril
garlanded with divine lotuses as your ensemble, who are you?” Thus Ravanan started
addressing Seetha. “Oh, rosy faced one, are you the personified numen of Respect,
Renown or Resplendence, or the Felicitous Lakshmi herself, or oh, curvaceous one,
are you a nymphal Apsara, or the numen of Benefactress, or a self-motivated woman,
or Rati Devi, the consort of Manmatha, the Love God. “Your hips are beamy, thighs
burly akin to elephant’s trunks, and these two breasts of yours that are ornamented
with best jewellery are rotund, rubbing and bumping each other, and they are swinging
up and up, their nipples are brawny and jutting out, and they are smoothish like palm-
fruits, thus they are covetable for they are beautiful.” Tr. Shri Desi Raju Hanumantha
Rao

Sita was wearing a silk saree so it’s possible that her breasts and nipples were visible
through that saree.

BLACK MAGIC

Hinduism teaches extremely obscene black magic spells and techniques.

Khadira Grihya Sutras 1.4.15-16. At the time of her courses he should touch with his
right hand her secret parts with (the verse), ‘May Vishnu make thy womb ready’ (MB.
I, 4, 6). When (that verse) is finished, he should cohabit with her, with (the verse),
‘Give conception’ (l.l. 7).

Narada Purana III.84.32-35 “In the north-eastern corner he shall duly worship
Vighnaraja accompanied by his beloved. He is shining with goad and noose in his
hands. His fingers are engaged in touching the beloved’s private parts. He is naked
and holds a skull filled with wine. With the tusk he is holding a bowl that shines and
from which jewels roll down. He shall worship Pusti who is also naked. Her features
resembles saffron. She is unfettered in her intoxicated gestures and movements. With
one hand, she holds a red lotus and with the other she touches penis. She is pink in
colour. She has embraced her lover. The two treasures are to be worshipped…” Tr.
G.V. Tagare

Narada Purana III.84.24-26 “He who meditates on the vaginal passage of a woman
splashed with the menstrual blood and repeats the mantra ten thousand times, shall
certainly fascinate and captivate the people by means of sweet poesy. The devotee
shall meditate on Kali as follows: She is stationed on the chest of Shiva who is on the
Yantra with fifteen corners. She is engaged in amorous battle with lord Mahakala and
is smiling sweetly. The devotee himself shall perform sexual intercourse. even as he
does so he shall repeat the mantra a thousand times. [29] While during the day, the
devotee should take sacrificial meals and during the night while engaged in sexual
intercourse he should repeat the mantra a hundred thousand times. He shall thereby
become a king” Tr. G.V. Tagare

Technique to secure the love of Husband

Agni Purana 302.7-18 ”…The above Mantra sacred to the goddess Chamunda, should
be deemed as the best of charms. A wife, should wash her vagina with the expressed
juice of the drugs known as the Triphala, whereby she would be able to win her
husband’s affections for good. Similarly a wife should apply over her private parts, a
paste composed of Ashvagandha, barley, turmeric, camphor, Pippali, the eight sorts of
grain known as the Ashtadhanya, Vrihati, and twenty black pepper, who would
thereby retain the affection of her husband for the last day of her life…” Tr. M.N. Dutt

Below is the verse telling how to secure the love of husband and how to stop him from
going to other women,

Garuda Purana, Dhanvantari Samhita 203. ”…A plaster composed of Samdhava,

Krishna Lavanam, galls of fishes, and sugar pasted together with honey and clarified
butter may be applied by a woman to her own private parts before sharing the bed of a
man. The man, who will know her thus, will never visit any other woman in his
life…” Tr. M.N. Dutt

Agni Purana 313.15-23 ”…The same Mantra, repeated by a man or a wife at the time
of sexual intercourse, would captivate his or her mind forever. A man, fondly looking
at the nudity of a woman, or touching her while repeating the Mantra, is sure to
enthrall her mind for good…” Tr. M.N Dutt

Hindu scriptures has such techniques for men also,

Garuda Purana Ch 208 ”O thou supreme deity, O thou beloved of Parvati, let a man,
during an act of sexual congress, take his own seed, and smear the left leg of the
woman therewith with this left hand, whereby he is sure to bring her under his control.
O thou supreme deity, the application of a plaster composed of pigeon’s dung and
rock-salt pasted together with honey by a man, before an act of coitus, to his own
reproductive organ, enables him to bring the woman under his control. Take five red
flowers of different species, and Privangu, equal in weight with these flowers; and
paste them together. The plastering of his reproductive organ with this paste, before an
act of sexual union, gives a man the power of fascinating the woman.” Tr. M.N. Dutt

Demons suck the blood of menstruating women,

Garuda Purana 2.22.61-62 ”[Ghosts said] We lick up the urine mixed with semen from
the vaginal passage of the widow having illicit intercourse with her paramour. Dear
friend, I am ashamed to tell you about the food we take. O pious brahmana, we lick up
the menstrual blood from the generative organ of a woman.” J.L. Shastri

Giving breasts to Brahmana to suck before son. A woman insisted a Brahmana to suck
her breasts and he did it,

Skanda Purana V.iii.20.47-48 Sri Devi said:- If a righteous son well-known all over
the world is to be born to me, I will first breast-feed a Brahmana and then alone my
son. O great sage, such a son has been born to me. O eminent Brahmana, if you wish
to be alive suck the breasts.” Tr. G.V. tagare

The above verses may sound decent after reading Narada Purana verses. The Narada
Purana contains many absurd black magic spells,

Narada Purana III.84.22-24 ”In the cremation ground the devotee shall sit naked on
the chest of a corpse. Repeating the mantra he shall offer a thousand flowers of the
arka plant smearing them with his own semen. With these flowers he shall devotedly
worship the goddess. Ere long, he shall become the lord of the earth. He who
meditates on the vaginal passage of a woman splashed with the menstrual blood and
repeats the mantra ten thousand times, shall certainly fascinate and captivate the
people by means of sweet poesy.” Tr. Board of Scholars, Edited by J.L. Shastri

Narada Purana III.84.20 ”He who repeats mantra ten thousand times seeing the sexual
organ of a woman with beautiful eyes shall attain equality with the lord of speech ere
long.” Tr. Board of Scholars, Edited by J.L. Shastri

Narada Purana III.84.25-26 ”The devotee shall meditate on Kali as follows: She is
stationed on the chest of Siva who is on the Yantra with fifteen corners. She is
engaged in amorous battle with lord Mahakala and is smiling sweetly. The devotee
himself shall perform sexual intercourse. Even as he does so he shall repeat the mantra
a thousand times.” Tr. Board of Scholars, Edited by J.L. Shastri

Narada Purana III.84.29 ”While during the day, the devotee should take sacrificial
meals and during the night while engaged in sexual intercourse he should repeat the
mantra a hundred thousand times. He shall thereby become a king.” Tr. Board of
Scholars, Edited by J.L. Shastri

Narada Purana III.87.32-36 ”On the fourteenth day of the dark fortnight, during the
pitch dark midnight, the devotee shall take bath and wear red garments, garlands and
unguents. He must bring a woman of youthful charms to represent the deity
Chinnamasta and worship her. She must be beautiful and capable of having
intercourse with five men, be of smiling look and have her hair dishevelled. She
should be made satisfied by offering her ornaments. She must be made naked and
worshipped and then he must repeat the mantra ten thousand times. After giving her
offering and spending the night she should be sent away fully contended with gifts of
wealth. He shall then deef the brahmins with different kinds of food. In this manner,
he shall attain good fortune, sons, grandsons, wealth, fame, good wife, longevity,
happiness, virtue and desired things.” Tr. Board of Scholars, Edited by J.L. Shastri

Narada Purana III.84.32-33 ”In the north-eastern corner he shall duly worship
Vigjnaraja accompanied by his beloved. He is shining with goad and noose in his
hands. His fingers are engaged in touching the beloved’s private part. he is naked and
holds a skull filled with wine. With the tusk is is holding a bowl that shines and from
which jewels roll down.” Tr. Board of Scholars, Edited by J.L. Shastri
Incest

In ancient India Brother and sister used to marry each other, says
Swami Chandermoli
Source: Indiatimes

As per Brihadaranyaka Upanishad all creatures were born after God raped his own
daughter,

Birhadaranyaka Upanishad 1.4.3-4 ”He was not at all happy. Therefore people (still)
are not happy when alone. He desired a mate. He became as big as man and wife
embracing each other. He parted this very body into two. From that came husband and
wife. Therefore, said Yajnavalkya, this (body) is one-half of oneself, like one of the
two halves of a split pea. Therefore this space is indeed filled by the wife. He was
united with her. From that men were born. She thought, ‘How can he be united with
me after producing me from himself? Well, let me hide myself.’ She became a cow,
the other became a bull and was united with her; from that cows were born. The one
became a mare, the other a stallion; the one became she-ass, the other became a he-ass
and was united with her; from that one hoofed animals were born. The one became a
ewe, the other became a ram and was united with her; from that goats and sheep were
born. Thus did he project everything that exists in pairs, down to the ants.” Tr. Swami
Madhavananda

Adi Shankaracharya writes on this verse,

‘’He, the Viraj called Manu, was united with her, his daughter called
Satarupa, whom he conceived of as his wife. From that union men were
born.’’ by Shankara on Brihadaranyaka Upanishad 1.4.3, Shankara
Bhashya, p.101, Tr. Swami Madhavananda.

Manu and his daughter Ida incest,

Satapatha Brahmana 1:8:1:7-10 “Being desirous of offspring, he engaged in

worshipping and austerities. During this time he also performed a pâka-sacrifice: he
offered up in the waters clarified butter, sour milk, whey, and curds. Thence a woman
was produced in a year: becoming quite solid she rose; clarified butter gathered in her
footprint. Mitra and Varuna met her. They said to her, ‘Who art thou?’ ‘Manu’s
daughter,’ she replied. ‘Say (thou art) ours,’ they said. ‘No,’ she said, ‘I am (the
daughter) of him who begat me.’ They desired to have a share in her. She either
agreed or did not agree, but passed by them. She came to Manu. Manu said to her,
‘Who art thou?’ ‘Thy daughter,’ she replied. ‘How, illustrious one, (art thou) my
daughter?’ he asked. She replied, ‘Those offerings (of) clarified butter, sour milk,
whey, and curds, which thou madest in the waters, with them thou hast begotten me. I
am the blessing (benediction): make use of me at the sacrifice! If thou wilt make use
of me at the sacrifice, thou wilt become rich in offspring and cattle. Whatever blessing
thou shalt invoke through me, all that shall be granted to thee!’ He accordingly made
use of her (as the benediction) in the middle of the sacrifice; for what is intermediate
between the fore-offerings and the after-offerings, is the middle of the sacrifice. With
her he went on worshipping and performing austerities, wishing for offspring.
Through her he generated this race, which is this race of Manu; and whatever blessing
he invoked through her, all that was granted to him. Now this (daughter of Manu) is
essentially the same as the Idâ…” Tr. Julius Eggeling

Krishna’s son by Rukmini was Pradumnya. When he was seven days old he was
carried away by an Asura prince named Samvara and was entrusted to the care of his
childless wife Mayavati (Harivamsa, Visnu Parva, 104, 6-7). When Pradumnya grew
up into manhood Mayavati one day offered her love to him. He was at first shocked at
this unseemly behaviour having been under the impression that she was his mother.
Knowing from her the fact of this birth in the Yadava family he killed Samvara and
married her (Visnu Purana 5.27; Srimad Bhagavatam 10.55).

Another wife of Pradumnya was Rukmavati, who was the daughter of his maternal
uncle Rukmi (Bhag.10.61). Here is again a case of marriage within the prohibited
degree.

Pradumnya’s son Aniruddha similarly married his maternal uncle’s daughter, Rochna,
who was the grand-daughter of Rukmi (Bhag,X.61).

Samba was the son of Krishna born to his wife Jambavati. Krishna’s sixteen thousand
wives were sexually aroused seeing their step son Samba. So Krishna in anger cursed
his son.

Varaha Purana 177.2-31 “When Krsna was living there with his wives and sons, once
Narada stepped in…But Narada took Krsna aside and spoke to him in private. ‘I have
to tell you something in secret. Please liten. Your son Samba is young, eloquent and
handsome is longed by all the women here. The Supreme God gave you these sixteen
hundred divine women for your pleasure. Their minds get agitated (with love) when
they see Samba, and this (scandal) has spread even in Brahmaloka…By calling Samba
and all this multitute of women and seating them here, I shall show you whether what
I say is true or false…Then Samba entered with folded hands and waited to know the
command (of Krsna). Seeing the exceptionally handsome Samba, all those noble
women felt agitated in mind even when Krsna was watching them. Then Krsna asked
these beloved women of his to get up and go to their homes and they did so… Looking
at Narada, Krsna bent down his face in shame. He then told Narada in detail about the
nature of women and their conduct leading to sin. ‘They have no consideration of
time, of secrecy of what they do. Still they pass to be virtous. Women irrespective of
their age, whether they be girls, teenagers, middle-aged or advanced in age, get their
passion excited at the sight of a handsome man. O great sage, this is natural to them…
A chariot does not move, ‘ (he said), ‘with a single wheel alone. It is only with the
response of men do women get excited with passion. They get gratified by the looks of
men. Seeing (your other son) Pradyumna, they become highly shy. But by seeing
Samba, they become stricken with passion and the sandal paste and such other things
(on his body) act as additional excitants. So Samba must be held responsible for
ruining your women and you cannot obliterate the scandal that has reached even
Satyaloka…Krsna then cursed Samba to become ugly and immediately he became a
leper. Foul smelling blood began to ooze from his body which became full of
wounds.” Tr. Venkitasubramonia Iyer, J.L. Shastri
Skanda Purana VII.I.101.1-38 “At this very juncture (came) venerable sage Narada…
In the court of his wandering at will, he always used to come to Dvaravati to pay a
visit to Vasudeva. As he came on quickly all the Yadava youths beginning with
Pradyumna remained with their heads (politely) bent down…but Samba due to the
inevitability of the curse, slighted the noble souled Narada as usual. Being very proud
of his youth and handsome features he was forever indulgent in sexual dalliance and
liquor. On seeing him impolite and rude, Narada thought thus: Today I shall try to
curb this impolite one…After thinking thus, he spoke to Vasudeva: O most excellent
one among Devas, here there are sixteen thousand women. O my Lord, their emotional
fondness for Samba is much…On hearing these words from Narada, Kesava began to
think. What has thus been mentioned by Narada may have some truth in it…Narada
went away as he came. A few days thereafter, he returned to Dvaraka. On that day the
Lord was engaged in drinking liquor after enjoying aquatic sports along with all the
members of his Antahpura (inner apartment)…Staying there the Lord drank the liquor
of great auspicious flavour. In the meantime, fully aware that the women were
inebriated due to liquor, Narada spoke to Samba: ‘O princely youth, do come and
stand here. The Lord calls you. It is not proper on my part to stay on there.’ Urged by
Narada…Samba entered quickly and bowed down to his father. He took the seat
pointed out by Visnu with natural feeling. In the meantime those women there who
were deficient in self control became highly agitated as soon as they saw Samba. As
they were staying within the Antahpura so long, they had not seen him before. The
liquor had its own effect in making them forget everything. Further they were
naturally devoid of self control. Hence their loins became moistened. On seeing an
excellent man, the excellent organ of generation of women becomes moistened and
dump even if they are observing celibacy or are Yoginis…After sending Samba in,
Narada also came hurriedly closely on the heels of Samba. On seeing the sage coming
with pleasant manners, all those women suddenly got up; they were tipsy. Even as
Vasudeva was watching, when they got up suddenly their valuable garments got torn
and fell down into the pots (of liquor). The clothes clinging to their loins (underwear)
also fell separately. On seeing it Hari became angry, he cursed those women: O
women, since your minds strayed elsewhere unmindful of me, you will not get into the
regions occupied by your husband at the close of your life. Slipping down from the
world of your husband as well as from the path of heaven, you will have no refuge and
will fall into the clutches of robbers. As a result of this defect and curse, those women,
at the time of Krsna’s heavenward departure, were abducted by robbers belonging to
Pancanada even as Arjuna was looking on.” Tr. G.V. Tagare

There is another version of this story,

Matsya Purana 70.2- “Siva said:- There will be 16,000 wives of Krisna in the Yuga
mentioned before. When once, in the spring time, those ladies, having decorated
themselves with ornaments, would be drinking together on the banks of a pond
studded with full budded lotus flowers, dancing with the wind and resounding with the
melodious notes of the cuckoo and musical tunes of the big black bee, they will see
Lord Samba, beautiful like Cupid, having eyes handsome like those of a gazelle, and
wearing the garlands of malati, passing by. They will cast on him amorous glances,
their hearts being fired with lustful feelings and they being targets of the arrows of
Cupid. Lord Krishna will come to know all that with his mental vision, and will curse
them as follows: ‘Because you cherished the desire of amorous pastime during my
absence, all of you will be taken away by bandits.” Tr. Taluqdar of Oudh, edited by
B.D. Basu

During propagation of living beings, Manu sprang from lower half of Brahma and
Satarupa from left hand side of Brahma’s body. And these two siblings then begat
couple of children,

Devi Bhagavatam 3.13.15-16 Next Svayambhava Manu sprang from the lower half of
Brahma; and the daughter named Satarupa came out of the left hand side of the
Brahma’s body. The two sons Priyavrata and Uttânapâda were born of Manu in the
womb of S’atarûpâ and the three daughters, very beautiful and fair complexioned,
were also born of him.

Another version shows that when Prajapati created sons and a daughter from himself
his sons were attracted to their sister and out of desire they discharged semen which
Brahma preserved it in a bowl

Kausitaki Brahmana 6.1.1-12 “Prajapati, being desirous of propagation, underwent

penance; from him when heated were born five, Agni, Vayu, Adityaa, Candramas, and
Usas as fifth. He said to them, ‘Do ye also practise fervour.’ They consecrated
themselves; then when they had consecrated themselves and had acquired fervour,
Usas, offspring of Prajapati, taking the form of an Apsaras, came out in front of them;
to her their minds inclined; they poured out seed; they went to Prajapati, their father,
and said, ‘We have poured out seed; let it not remain here’. Prajapati made a golden
bowl, an arrow breadth in height and similar in breadth; in it he poured the seed; then
arose he of a thousand eyes, of a thousand feet, with a thousand fitted (arrows).” Tr.

Hindus views marriages with cousin as incesteous, but Krishna himself is said to have
married his paternal aunt’s daughter. Mitravinda was the daughter of Rajadhidevi who
was the sister of Krishna’s father Vasudeva making Mitravinda the first cousin of
Krishna,

Srimad Bhagavatam 10.58.31 “My dear King, Lord Kṛṣṇa forcibly took away Princess
Mitravindā, the daughter of His aunt Rājādhidevī, before the eyes of the rival kings.”
Tr. Swami Prabhupada

Krishna is said to have married another cousin named Bhadra,

Srimad Bhagavatam 10.58.56 “Bhadrā was a princess of the Kaikeya kingdom and the
daughter of Lord Kṛṣṇa’s paternal aunt Śrutakīrti. The Lord married Bhadrā when her
brothers, headed by Santardana, offered her to Him.” Tr. Swami Prabhupada

Srimad Bhagavatam 10.83.15-16 “Śrī Bhadrā said: My dear Draupadī, of his own free
will my father invited his nephew Kṛṣṇa, to whom I had already dedicated my heart,
and offered me to Him as His bride. My father presented me to the Lord with an
akṣauhiṇi military guard and a retinue of my female companions. My ultimate
perfection is this: to always be allowed to touch Lord Kṛṣṇa’s lotus feet as I wander
from life to life, bound by my karma.” Tr. Swami Prabhupada

Baudhyana permits cousin marriages for south Indian Hindus,

Baudhayana Dharma Shastra, Prasna I, Adhyaya 1, Kandika 2, verses 3-5 They are, to
eat in the company of an uninitiated person, to eat in the company of one’s wife, to eat
stale food, to marry the daughter of a maternal uncle or of a paternal aunt…He who
follows (these practices) in any other country than where they prevail, commits sin.

A story in Mahabharata says that after Asura Ilwala killed the pitrs of Rishi Agastya,
they requested Agastya to beget a son that would save them from the pit (hell). As
requested by them Rishi Agastya first creates a girl with an intention of marrying her.
Logically this makes her the daughter of Rishi Agastya. After creating her, Rishi
Agastya gives her to a childless king who was performing penance to obtain progeny,
and the king adopts the girl child who was named Lopamudra. After reaching the
proper age fit to beget a child, Rishi Agastya marries her and begets a child,

Mahabharata 3.96.18-25 “…Agastya replied, saying, ‘Ye Pitris, I will

accomplish your desire. Let this anxiety of yours be dispelled.’ And the
illustrious Rishi then began to think of perpetuating his race. But he saw
not a wife worthy of him on whom he himself could take his birth in the
form of a son. The Rishi accordingly, taking those parts that were
regarded as highly beautiful, from creatures possessing them, created
therewith an excellent woman. And the Muni, endued with great ascetic
merit, thereupon gave that girl created for himself to the king of the
Vidharbhas who was then undergoing ascetic penances for obtaining
offspring. And that blessed girl of sweet face (thus disposed of) then
took her birth (in Vidarbha’s royal line) and, beautiful as the effulgent
lightning, her limbs began to grow day by day…” Tr. K.M. Ganguli

Mahabharata 3.97.8-9 “…And at these words of his daughter, O

monarch, the king gave away Lopamudra unto the illustrious Agastya
with due rites. And obtaining her as wife…” Tr. K.M. Ganguli

Prostitution
Some Hindu text prohibits prostitution but some also permits it.
Devdasi means servant of god, Devdasi should dance in temple and she
is also forced into prostitution and sexually abused by the Brahmins.
Although Devdasi is banned by government but Temple prostitution or
sacred prostitution is still prevalent in many parts of India,
According to a report by one-man commission headed by Justice
Raghunath Rao in 2015, there are 80,000 Devdasi in Telangana and
Andhra Pradesh states.

in-Telangana-AP-says-report/articleshow/46337859.cms
As per Theguardian.com’s 2011 report “The National Commission for
Women estimate that there are 48,358 Devadasis currently in India.”
http://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2011/jan/21/devadasi-india-
sex-work-religion

And as per TheHindu.com

Quoting the National Commission for Women, the

authority says there are 2.5 lakh “Devadasi” girls who have
been dedicated to Yellamma and Khandoba temples on
Maharastra-Karnataka border. This includes 16,624 from
Andhra Pradesh, 22,941 from Karnataka and 2,479 from
Maharastra. The Devadasi system is prevalent in 10
districts of north Karnataka and 14 districts in Andhra
Pradesh.

One can find sanction of this evil practice in Hindu scriptures,

Padma Purana V.113.40-46b ”Vasistha said:- O king, you have not asked enough.
That is said to be holy which enables one to be more sportive, O king. He should make
Siva’s temple white with whitewash on all sides. He should have women who are
endowed with beauty and graceful movements, adorned with all ornaments, skilled in
(singing) many good songs, and proficient in various kinds of dancing…All should be
beautiful and should have graceful movements. All should be of firm breasts. They
should be skilled in the ways of sexual love and should be trustworthy…O king, he
who has caused women like this to dance (even) on one day, gets into a (divine)
aeroplane in a year.” Tr. N.A. Deshpande

Vijay Mallya should learn something from these verses, As Kingfisher airline is
incurred huge loss. Is it a temple or a night club which asks its followers to construct a
temple and make girls dance before men? A story mentioned in Padma Purana shows
that Krishna cursed his 16100 wives to become prostitutes (after his death) after they
were enamored seeing their step son Samba. Krishnas wives are then instructed by
sage Dalbhya Caikitayana on how to lead the life in temple prostitution. This chapter
of Padma Purana is titled “The vows of Prostitutes”, the title of the chapter itself is a
summary of the chapter which shows that temple prostitution is permissible in
Hinduism,

Padma Purana 1.23.74b-87a “The Lord said: O Brahman, born from the lotus, in the
same city there will be sixteen thousand wives of Vasudeva. Krsna, the universal soul,
having eyes like those of a deer, the dignified scion of Yadu family, who had put the
garland of Malati flowers on his head, and being adorned with his praiseworthy wives,
will enjoy with them in a garden rich with flowers, and situated on the bank of a lake,
in the spring season abounding in cuckoos and swarms of bees. Samba, Jambavatl’s
son, adorned with all (kinds of ornaments), going along with the path nearby, really of
the form of Cupid, will be longingly seen by the ladies and passion will be aroused in
the hearts of them who will be tormented by the arrows of Cupid. He, the lord of the
world, the omniscient master, having perceived it with his eye of contemplation, will
say to them: “The evil being will kidnap you, since you have thus entertained the
passion of love (for Samba) in my presence.” Then the revered lord, the cause of
beings, the holder of the bow made of horn, being propitiated (by the ladies)
tormented with the curse, will say this: “(You will observe) the vow, beneficial in the
future, which sage Dalbhya, emancipator of the fishermen living in the north and of an
unlimited (generosity of) mind will tell you.” Saying so and leaving them, the lord
vanished. Then after a (long) time when the burden (on the earth as a result of the
great Bharatawar) will be lightened and when the fight with clubs (among the
Yadavas) will be over, when Kesava will have come back to the heaven, when the
entire Yadu-family will be no more, when even Arjuna will be defeated by the thieves,
when Krsna’s wives will be kidnapped and will be enjoyed by the fishermen for a
hundred million years and when they will be (thus) tormented, a devout soul, Dalbhya
by name, with great penance (to his credit) will come there.”

Padma Purana 1.23.91-121 “O revered sir, all of us have been perforce enjoyed by the
evil beings; we have slipped from (i.e. erred in) our duty. You are our refuge. O
brahmana, you have been formerly instructed by the intelligent Kesava. Why have we
become prostitutes after having come in contact with the lord? O you, whose wealth is
penance, explain to us the duties of the prostitutes.” I shall tell you what Dalbhya
Caikitayana said to them. Dalbhya said: Formerly Narada approached you, who were
proud, while (you were) sporting in the water of the Manasa lake. All of you were
daughters of Agni and were the nymphs in olden days. Not saluting Narada through
haughtiness you asked the sage conversant with deep and abstract meditation: “Advise
us as to how Narayana will be our husband.” From him, this boon and this curse came
forth (i.e. Narada gave this boon to and pronounced this curse on the ladies) in ancient
days: “By giving a couple of beds with articles of gold (to a brahmana) on the twelfth
day of the bright fortnight of Caitra and Vaisakha, Narayana will certainly be your
husband (i.e. you will obtain Narayana as your husband); (and) since, you asked me (a
question) without saluting me, due to your selfish addiction to your beauty and good
fortune, you will be kidnapped by thieves and will become prostitutes.” Thus, due to
the curse of Narada and also that of Kesava, all of you, deluded by passion, have
become prostitutes. O you excellent ladies, listen, even now, to what I shall say. The
lord of lords, the best speaker, formerly said to the hundreds and thousands of
thousands of the wives of the demons, the Asuras (the evil spirits—enemies of gods),
the sons of Diti and the goblins, when these (ladies) were married and enjoyed by
force (by the gods), after hundreds of the Asuras and demons were killed by the gods
in the war between gods and Asuras (that took place) in ancient days: “O you devout
and beautiful ladies, now live as prostitutes in king’s residences and in temples of
gods; you will obtain your livelihood from the king and the master; and all of you will
have good fortune as per your capacity. He, who enters your house with the fee should
be served by you with attitude of love void of deceit… At that time, he, having the
five arrows as his soul (i.e. Cupid), will go (i.e. remain) near Hari. She should worship
the lotus-eyed (god i.e. Visnu), followed by eulogies of Cupid. She should worship the
feet (of the image of the deity saying:) ‘My salutation to Kama’; (she should worship)
the shanks (saying:) ‘My salutation to Vaimohakarin’; (she should worship) the
generative organ (of the image of the deity saying:) ‘My salutation to
Kandarpanidhi…Having thus worshipped Govinda, the lord of the form of Ananga,
the lady having made an offering with sandal, flowers and incense, and then having
invited a Brahmana knowing customary observances, who has mastered the Vedas and
who is without any deformity, and then having honoured him with adoration of sandal,
flowers etc. she should give the brahmana rice of the measure of a prastha along with a
pot of ghee, (saying:) ‘May Madhava be pleased’. She should bear in mind that the
best Brahmana, who has eaten well according to his sweet will, is Kamadeva meant
for Rati. The lady should do whatever the best Brahmana desires.”

Padma Purana 1.23.130b-142 “Then having circumambulated and allowed the best
Brahmana to go, she should take all (the articles) like the bed, the seat, to the
Brahmana’s house. Since then whosoever comes to her house for sexual enjoyment
should be similarly honoured on a Sunday and should always be adored. Thus till the
thirteenth month arrives, she should gratify a Brahmana and then send him to his
house; with his permission (she may entertain) a handsome (person) till he arrives (to
her residence). When she has a difficulty as a result of impurity due to child-birth or
abortion or from the king or a difficulty due to divine or human (forces) or due to an
eclipse, then she should offer herself according to her capacity, for fifty-eight times.
This (vow) I have especially narrated to you, since this is the duty that should be
always performed by the prostitutes in this world…”
Sage Dalbhya instructs them to lead prostitution just like Indra had commanded the
wives of slain demons mentioned in Matsya Purana 71.26-59 which I have already
mentioned in Sex Slaves category, readers are requested to read Matsya Purana 71.26-
59 again to better understand this. Agni Purana 211.37-43 also talks about gifting
female slaves to Brahmins which I have mentioned in Sex Slaves category.

Krishna states what is done to women by priests in Soma sacrifice,

Garuda Purana 3.28.79 “Neither men nor women nor ascetics have any dread or shame
in this respect. Men can copulate even with their sisters, that too at the day time, just
as the priests do with the women at the Soma sacrifice.’’ Tr. J.L. Shastri

There is a story of a Rishi Galava who engaged his daughter into prostitution just to
get horses, The story is very long and mentioned in three sections of Mahabharata
hence it’s not possible to mention every detail but I will post the summarized version
created by Ibn Muhammad,

Mahabharata Udyog Parva section 115 “She is my daughter. She is extremely

beautiful and virtuous. She is desired by every male in three worlds. She can charm
any Sur, Asur, Aryan or non-Aryan. I offer my daughter to you. You can sell her to
any king and manage to have your gurudakhshina.”

Mahabharata Udyog Parva, Section 116 “So, Rishi Galav, without any qualms of
conscience, accepts the king’s daughter and mortgages her to Ayodhya’s king
Haryashaw and in return gets 200 horses. He takes 200 horses, leaving Madhavi to
bear a son to the king.”

Mahabharata Udyog Parva, section 117 and 118 “The Rishi Galav then searched
another buyer for Madhavi and this time it is king Divodas who gives 200 horses in
the bargain. (Udyog Parv, section117). Then he takes her to king Ushinao and
manages to strike a better bargain. He receives now 400 horses. (Udyog Parv, section
118).

There is a story mentioned in Brahma Purana which says that Devas exchanges
Saraswati with the Asuras for Soma Ras

Brahma Purana Gautami Mahatmya 35.6-13 ”…If Devas are prepared let them come
there for sacrifice. Gandharvas are always fond of women. Exchange me for Soma”.
”So be it”, said Devas who firmly agreed to what was said by Sarasvati. Through the
messengers they invited Devas, Yaksas, Gandharvas and Nagas severally to the sacred
mountain. There-after, O sage, the name of that mountain became Devagiti. There
came Devas, Gandharvas, Yaksas, Raksasas, Siddhas, sages and the eight species of
inferior gods… [Indra said] Exchange the nectar-souled Soma of yours for Saraswati.
[Brahma said] At the instance of Indra those Gandharvas, passionate over women,
gave Soma to Devas and took Saraswati. Devas possessed Soma and Gandharvas
possessed Saraswati.” Tr. Board of Scholars, Edited by J.L. Shastri

This is taken from following texts,

Black Yajur Veda 6.1.6.5-6 “When the Soma was being borne away, the Gandharva
Viçvavasu stole it. It was for three nights stolen; therefore after purchase the Soma is
kept for three nights. The gods said, ‘The Gandharvas love women; let us redeem it
with a woman.’ They made speech unto a woman of one year old, and with her
redeemed it. She adopted the form of a deer and ran away from the Gandharvas that
was the origin of the deer. The gods said, ‘She has run from you; she comes not to us;
let us both summon her.’ The Gandharvas uttered a spell, the gods sang, she went to
the gods as they sang. Therefore women love one who sings; enamoured are women of
him who thus knows.” Tr. Arthur Berriedale Keith

Satapatha Brahmana 3:2:4:2-4. “Gâyatrî flew up to Soma for them. While she was
carrying him off, the Gandharva Visvâvasu stole him from her. The gods were aware
of this,–‘Soma has indeed been removed from yonder (sky), but he comes not to us,
for the Gandharvas have stolen him.’ They said, ‘The Gandharvas are fond of women:
let us send Vâk (speech) to them, and she will return to us together with Soma.’ They
sent Vâk to them, and she returned to them together with Soma. The Gandharvas came
after her and said, ‘Soma (shall be) yours, and Vâk ours!’ ‘So be it!’ said the gods;
‘but if she would rather come hither, do not ye carry her off by force: let us woo her!’
They accordingly wooed her.” Tr. Julius Eggeling

Aitareya Brahmana Panchika 1, Adhyaya 27 “Soma the king was among the
Gandharvas; the gods and the seers meditated on him, ‘How shall Soma the king come
hither to us?’ Speech said, ‘The Gandharvas love women; with me as a woman do ye
barter it.’ ‘No,’ replied the gods, ‘how could we be without you?’ She replied, ‘Still do
ye buy; when ye will have need of me, then shall I return to you.’ ‘Be it so’ (they
replied). With her as a great naked one they brought Soma the king….” Tr. Arthur
Berriedale Keith

Maitrayani Samhita 3:7:3 (77, 16-17) “The Gandharvas desire women. Having
prepared Speech as a young woman of undiminishing youth [would be, so she was
prepared] with her let us barter him out.” Tr. Catherine Ludvik

Vishnu Smriti states that a group must earn their livelihood by doing Mujra and public
women (prostitution)

Vishnu Smriti 16.12 “Vaidehakas must earn their livelihood by keeping [dancing girls
and other public] women and profiting by what they acquire.” Tr. Manmatha Nath
Dutt
