The Jupiter in Hindu Mythology
Jupiter or Brihaspati was one of the eight sons of Angiras, (son of Brahma) and Shraddha. After receiving initial knowledge from his father, Jupiter left his home in quest for spiritual knowledge and meditated for thousands of years, his penances earned him a place as guru or teacher to the demigods. His work was to guide then and advancing their cause by thwarting the designs of the Asuras.

Once Bhrigu or Venus, the guru of the devils went to the Himalaya to worship Lord Shiva for obtaining means to conquer and destroy the demigods. Meanwhile sensing an opportunity, Indra, the king of demigods sent his daughter Jayanti to Venus to obtain whatever he receives from Lord Shiva by deceit. She stayed with Venus for many years as his disciple until he obtained the boon from Shiva. Then, when he was about to return to the devils, Jayanti requested him to accepted her as wife. He agreed to be her husband but for only ten years and during this period they would be alone.

When Jupiter came to know about this he made a plan and disguised himself as Venus he went to live with the Asuras and during these ten years he succeeded in removing hatred and factionalism from them. When Venus returned home the Asuras got confused seeing two identical gurus and they declared that their real teacher was the one who had been teaching them for the past years. The real Venus, got angry and left cursing them that they would soon be destroyed. Shortly thereafter Jupiter resumed his real form and returned to heaven. The Asuras, were now left without a guru and guide approached the real Venus and begged his pardon. He relented and again became their guru, but his curse had its effect, and for many ages the Asuras were too weak to threaten the gods.
