Who is Ahir Budhyana?
Ahir Budhyana is a very rare deity in the pantheon of Hindu mythology. He is gold, representing the depths of the oceans and the mysteries in the kundalini, the primal energy located at the base of the spine and the god of fertility. The serpentine energy with which this association is made is spiritual awakening and the transforming power of growth. Ahir Budhyana is not only a physical force but also a metaphysical guardian. The reason for the seclusion symbolises the value of introspection and inner stillness in achieving true self-realisation.
Ahir Budhyana is the son of Viswakarma, a celestial architect, and thereby has a divine connection with creativity, both physically and metaphorically, in building spaces. One of the 11 Rudras, he carries Shiva’s fierce and benevolent energy of destruction and creation. He is a profound guide to both external and internal prosperity, and his worship is not only external prosperity but also the discovery of inner treasures.
The Legend of Ahir Budhyana
The mysticism of the oceans and heavens is the story of Ahir Budhyana. He got the power to mould and remodel the universe from his father and the energy of the Rudras from his mother, Shiva, to become a nurturer and a destroyer.
According to belief, Ahir Budhyana lives in the deepest ocean, which is the unrealised potential of human beings. It is thought that when the seas rage in storms, he awakens to cleanse and renew, as we do with our cycle of destruction and rebirth. Another one tells of how he led the devas (gods) to use the kundalini energy for spiritual ascension. He did this and is a revered figure for those who wake up their dormant energies and work on the force in the cosmic. A reminder that the greatest treasures (whether physical, spiritual, or emotional) can always be found in the darkest, least explored parts of ourselves.
