Temat postu: Soma: Brave New World
Soma
is a very difficult deity for many outside of India to comprehend. He works on numerous levels, all of which are tied together rather strangely.
Soma
is firstly a plant. He is also an intoxicating drink which was brewed from that plant. As the blood of animals and the sap of plants,
Soma
courses through all living things. He is Inspiration to those who seek it, and so is the god of poets. He is also the god of the moon. He is the dwelling place of the venerated dead, as well as the divine cure for evil. The ancient Hindus did not differentiate between these divergent aspects; all were the god
Soma
.
Soma
was one of the more important gods in the Rig Veda; 120 hymns and one entire book are dedicated to him. He has many different forms. He is seen as a celestial bull, a bird, a giant rising from the waters, the lord of plants, and as an embryo. He rarely is seen as a fully grown human.
As a drink,
Soma
is the ambrosia of the gods. It was due to this influence that they could rise above all obstacles to achieve their goals. Indra was a great drinker of the substance; before his confrontation with Vritra, he drank rivers of it to gain the strength needed to overcome the fearsome dragon. Agni also consumed it in large amounts.
Soma
was what gave the Vedic gods their immortality. It was also a drink for mortals, a golden-hued nectar which was derived from the
Soma
plant, which may be a species known as ephedra vulgaris to botanists. This drink brought hallucinations and ecstasy to those who consumed it. It helped warriors to overcome their fears in battle, and it helped poets to become inspired to create.
Soma
was a bridge between the mortal world and that of the gods. This drink is the same as Haoma in Persian mythology.
As the moon,
Soma
became equated with the god Chandra, who originally was the moon deity. The moon was considered the cup which held the drink
Soma
for the gods, and one reason that the moon waxed and waned was due to this fact. When the moon waned, it was because the gods were drinking down all the
Soma
; as it waxed, the god was re-creating himself, only to be consumed again once the cup was again full. As the Vedic age ended and the Brahmans asserted themselves, the power of the gods no longer came from
Soma
but instead from sacrifices made by humans;
Soma
came more and more to be just a god of the moon. In later times, the waxing and waning of the moon was due to a curse put on
Soma
.
Soma
had twenty-seven wives (who correspond to the twenty-seven stations of
the moon). They were all the daughters of Daksha. Daksha felt that
Soma
was paying too much attention to one of his daughters, thereby neglecting the rest. He cursed
Soma
to die a withering death. But
Soma
's wives intervened, and so the death became only periodic; during half the month, the moon slowly dies away, but is reborn and comes around again to full vigor.
Though he is never depicted in human form,
Soma
obviously did not want for lovers; poets rarely do. In one episode, his desires caused a war. He had grown arrogant due to the glory that was offered him. Because of this, he let his lust overcome him; he kidnaped and carried off Tara, the wife of the god Brihaspati. After refusing to give her up, the gods made war on him to force her release, and
Soma
called on the asuras to aid him. Finally Brahma interceded and compelled
Soma
to let Tara go. But she was with child, and it ended up that this child was
Soma
's. The child was born and named Budha (not to be confused with the Buddha).
