Mantras for the Planet Venus (Shukra)

 
 

Venus represents the feminine spirit. She is well known as the Goddess of Love and beauty. She represents the pleasure of the senses and the comforts of the body. She is sexuality and sexual attraction and serves to make the person attractive to the opposite sex. She is beauty, style, and elegance—the refinement of wealth and not just crude accumulation. Her concern is not just with quantity, but with quality and good taste. The power of Mantras & Shlokas has been acknowledged since time immemorial. A Mantra can consist of a powerful word or a combination of words and can be used for self-realization, for freedom from worries, to fulfill one's desires, to ward off the effects of malefic planets, to bring you success, peace, and contentment—the range is truly vast. You can choose for yourself.
