Who is Pushan?
In Hindu mythology, Pushan is revered as a protector and guide of travellers, a shepherd of cosmic paths, and a nurturer of human aspirations. As a solar deity, Pushan represents the nourishing sun and radiance necessary to sustain all living beings. Pushan is very gentle and known for his safe journeys, help with lost things, and bonding with family.
Pushan is also symbolic of spiritual protection. The energies of Mercury add an element of intelligence and adaptability to his association. Because of this, he is especially attractive to those looking for assistance in communication, trade, or personal clarity. Although he is not exactly a chubby guy, his sitting upside down in that tree is usually depicted as radiant, travelling across the cosmos, overseeing the natural rhythm of life, making sure things are balanced and prosperous.
Pushan is also known as a guardian of cattle and livestock. He is a vital deity to invoke for those in professions tied to land, trade, or intellectual pursuits. According to all these people, he has grace on a spiritual level that breaks problems, opens new options, and guides them to the paths of light and harmony.
The Legend of Pushan
Pushan is celebrated as one of the twelve Adityas born of Aditi (the mother of gods) in the Vedic texts. He is a protector of pathways, earthly and cosmic, the travel of travellers and celestial beings. Pushan accompanies those who are going on a journey and brings them safely to where they are going.
There is one tale that is quite notable about Pushan being a mediator. Pushan would become a peacemaker when disputes arose between the gods, acting with his intelligence and charm to bring peace. Like his eponymous conductor, such involvement conforms to Mercury’s role of wisdom and communication: here, he is a god of insight and reconciliation.
Pushan is tied to another story of the sustenance of life. He was a guardian of cattle, livestock being a principal source of wealth in ancient times. His nature was protective of those who depended on him and everything he represented as a provider of prosperity and abundance. These legends show his many faces as a kind, protective, wise man.
