Lord Indra is believed to be the leader of all Gods and the lord of Swargaloka (Heaven) in Hinduism as depicted in Rigveda. Indra is the twin brother of Agni (Fire God). He is refered to as the God of thunder, storms and rain. He is a great warrior and remains as a symbol of courage and strength. Indra rides on a white elephant (four tusked) called Airavata.
Hindu purana says that one Kalpa Yuga has 14 Indras because each kalpa is composed of 14 manvantaras and each manvantara has one Indra. One Kalpa Yuga makes one day in Lord Brahma’s life. There is a beautiful story behind Indra realizing this fact. It goes like this……
Being encrowned the post of King of all the Gods, Indra was full of pride and ordered Vishwakarma (The Architect of the Gods) to build for him a grand palace. While the work progresses Indra keep on demanding more and more improvements to the palace. Vishwakarma got exhausted and pleaded the help of Lord Brahma who in turn appeals to Lord Vishnu. Vishnu visited the palace in the form of a Brahmin boy. Indra welcomed him and honored him politely and respectfully. Vishnu started commenting that no former Indras have built such a beautiful palace seeding a fearful doubt in Indra’s mind about his unkown ancestors. The boy explains to him about the infinite number of worlds scattered through the entire universe each with its own Indra. In between, a possession of ants entered the palace and the boy laughed. Indra being astonished and dumbfounded asked the boy why he laughed. The boy revealed that those ants were the former Indras. Lord Siva entered the palace at the same time in the form of a solitary person. His chest had a circular cluster of hairs intact at the circumference with a gap in the middle. Lord Siva explained to Indra that each of the hair represents the life of an Indra. He said that when each hair falls one Indra dies and will be replaced by a new one. Having lost the longings for wealth and honor, Indra rewards Vishwakarma and decided to live a life without luxury. I am sure this story has a great moral for each one of us to understand and practise with.

Mrikandu rishi (a saint) and his wife Marudmati were devotee’s of Lord Siva and Lord Siva gave them a boon of begetting a son. They were questioned whether to get a son who is intelligent but having shorter life span or a low intelligent one with a long life span. They chose the former one and was blessed with an exemplary son named Markendeya but destined to die at the age of 16. While his life span was coming to the end, Yama’s messengers came to him to take his life. But as Markandeya was ceaselessly chanting Lord Siva’s name, Yama’s messengers could not approach him and returned. Now, Yama came himself and asked him to stop chanting Lord Siva’s name and come along with him as per his destiny. Markandeya refused and the furious Yama assumed a fearsome form and threw his noose (weapon) to Markandeya who embraced the Siva Linga (Idol of Lord Siva). When the noose struck the Siva linga, Lord Siva emerged out of it and killed Yama with his Trishula.Siva blessed Markandeya to live a life of 16 throughout seven kalpas. By the death of Yama, there was no one to make beings die and the world became burdened with evil beings. Sages, Gods and Markandeya appealed Siva to revive Yama and so he did. Yama worshiped Siva to atone for his sin.
