Rare Shukra Stotra for Dharma, becoming Poet and How to Worship Lord Shukra

Lord Shukra is the karak of love, happiness, comforts, beauty, calmness, marriage. 

What many do not know that Lord Shukra is also the karak of tapa.

The person who has a very positive Shukra, in his own house, in the houses of dharma i.e. 1, 5, 9; or in the house of Brihaspati make a sadhak extremely learnt and tapasvi. Every person who is a tapasvi sadhak, chances are that his shukra is very good.

Shukra makes a person a proper sadhak. Proper sadhak means that, he wont have arrogance or talk big things about his sadhanas. He wont look down upon people who are smaller sadhaks than him or those don't do sadhanas. 

Shukra makes you a humble and kind sadhak. It is Shukra, Brihaspati and Chandra who make someone a divya sadhak with all the good qualities.

Shukra is the karak of:

Love, beauty, harmony, peace, joy, happiness,, delight, fortune, good luck, virtue, amiability, purity, sincerity, honesty, gentleness, affection, kindness, refinement, style, elegance, charm, sensitivity, female qualities, womanliness, curly hair, attraction, lustre, splendor, vanity, glamour, cosmetics, fashion, flowers, scents, perfumes, silk, art, dance, music, singing, drama, theatre, cinema, poetry, literature, painting, wealth, comforts, luxuries, gems, jewelry, conveyances, horses, elephants, friendship, co-operation, romance, partnership, devotion, lover, wife, marriage, sexual pleasures, seduction, potency, procreation, hedonism, beauty shop, hotel, bedroom.

Lord Shukra, other than being a graha, is the lord of extraordinary lifespan, virility in men, and management and strategy powers.

Today, I am sharing a rare Shukra stotra which has never been shared before on the internet.

By reciting this stotra, one gets freed of all the malefic effects of Shukra, gets good health and nourishment, becomes a poet, and gets auspicious intelligence about dharma and sadhanas.

Here, dharma doesn't mean just religion, but all kinds of dharma or action - like right action in business, right behaviour when talking to someone,etc.

By reciting this stotra 100 times, one becomes a poet.

Now sadhaks, it is obviously not possible to become a poet overnight by reciting it 100 times in a day. What it means is that the poetic qualities will start building in you. But to become a great poet, you should do multiple anushthaan of this stotra.

It is a 27 names stotra of Lord Shukra.

Shukra Saptavinshati naam Stotra:

शृणुष्व द्विजशार्दूल शुक्रनामानि सम्प्रति । शिवावताररुपस्य दैत्याचार्यस्य धीमतः  ॥

शुक्रो दैत्यगुरुः श्रीमान् कविः काव्यश्च भार्गवः । सितः शुक्लः शुचिर्विप्रो महात्मा शङ्करः प्रभुः ||

उशना उत्तमौजाश्च  उदयी उज्ज्वलप्रभः । ऊर्जस्वी वृषराशीशस्तुलारश्यधिपस्तथा ॥

मृतसञ्जीवको ज्ञाता विद्याविनयपण्डितः । सद्ग्रहः साधुशीलश्च ययातिश्वशुरो वशी ॥

एतानि कविनामानि  प्रोक्तानि सप्तविंशतिः | पठश्च शृणु जाबाले पाठये श्रावयेपि च ||

शुक्राचर्यस्स्तवं यस्तु पठेत् शुक्रदिनेषु च । तस्य शुक्र भवेत् प्रीतः श्वेतपुष्पैश्च पूजितः ॥

शतावृत्तिं पठनादास्य कविर्भवती नान्यथा । प्रत्यहं भक्तिभावेन यः पठेत् सुसमाहितः ॥

तस्य धर्मे शुभा बुद्धिर्भवत्येव न संशयः ।

How to Worship Lord Shukra:

Shukra upasana, like for each graha is unique from others.

1. Without energised Shukra yantra, white flowers, white chandan and akshat, do not start a shukra sadhana. Getting siddhi over his stotras or mantras will be extremely difficult.

2. Keep Vyaakhyaan mudra when chanting his mantra/stotra. The mudra which Lord Buddha keeps near his chest is vyaakhyaan mudra.

3. Do his worship between 4am-9am or 12am to 3am. Not at other times.

4. Always do a white chandan tilak before starting the recitation.

5. If you can, wear white clothes and sit on white aasan. That will please lord Shukra even more quickly.

6. Follow strict brahmacharya. Lord Shukra is the god of semen. That is why, do not waste it. Without following brahmacharya, you will fail in Shukra sadhana and getting blessings of Shukra will be a distant dream. 

7. Do not look at other women with lust. Do not show arrogance or badmouth women.

8. Worship Lord Shiva too during the sadhana days. Worshipping Lord Shiva is very important if you want to please Shukra.

9. During the sadhana days, do not worship other grahas.

10. Feed cows during the sadhana days.

11. Dont use cruel words. Be calm, kind and peaceful with yourself and everybody.

12. Wear nice, clean clothes. Don't wear dirty, torn clothes or clothes that make you feel unhappy. 

13. Dont keep your hair, face or body unclean or dirty. Overall, maintain cleanliness.

14. Meditation forms of Lord Shukra:

Dhyaan or meditation on a certain form of the god is one of the most important things when doing mantra or stotra japa, without which it goes waste. Depending upon the wish one should meditate on different forms of god.

When you want wealth:

Lord Shukra is sitting on a white lotus in a market. He has 2 hands. His left hand is on his left thigh and he's holding bright colorful clothes, moti, manikya and other gems and gold coins in it. In his right hand he is holding a vyaakhyaan mudra. Lord Shukra is very happy and lord of Daityas Bali has folded hands and is praying to him.

For becoming a poet/getting dharma or love:

He has 4 hands. Starting from his left hand, in the back hands, he is holding a white lotus, a rudraksha mala. In his front hands starting from left, he is holding a varad mudra and vyaakhyaan mudra.

For getting freedom from graha dosha good health, knowledge and management skills :

In his 4 hands starting from the left hand in the back, he is holding a stick, rudraksha mala, kamandal, and vyaakhyaan mudra.

In all his forms, imagine him sitting on a white lotus, wearing white clothes and a gold necklace, and has a soft, soothing, moon-like radiance. He is happy, smiling; has a sweet, flowing voice; and is extremely calm and gentle.

Lord Shukra is a very benevolent god who gives whatever you ask for, whether money, love, business success or health. But you have to follow certain rules very strictly. His worship is very different from others. You need to follow a lot of discipline. Time of worship, the presence of his yantra, white flowers,chandan, etc. following brahmacharya, worshipping Lord Shiva on the side - without following these things expecting blessings of Lord Shukra will be a daydream. But if you follow these simple things, you will have beautiful changes in your life.
