The Love Story of Kacha and Devayani- One
The Love Story of
Kacha And Devayani-
One
BACKGROUND OF THIS
LOVE STORY
This beautiful story
from the Indian
mythology
speaks, how love and
hate can go to
extremes
when it is guided by
motives.
Kacha was the son of
Brahaspati*.
He was sent by Gods
to become
the disciple of
Asurs* Guru
Sukracharya
to learn the secret
knowledge of
reviving
the dead as a
representative of
Gods.
Guru Sukracharya had
a beautiful daughter
named Devayani. The
moment Devayani
saw Kacha, she
instantly fell in
love with him
and she began to
feel that she can no
longer live without
Kacha.
She requested her
father (the Asurs
Guru)
to make him his
disciple to teach
him the secret
knowledge of
immortality. Guru
Sukracharya
refused to make
Kacha his disciple
as he was
the representative
of Gods. It was
Devayani who
forced her father to
accept him as his
disciple
to teach Kacha the
secret knowledge of
reviving
the dead as she was
utterly in love with
him.
The dramatic verse
starts from the
Ashram* of
Guru Sukracharya,
where Kacha stayed
for
many years to learn
the secret knowledge
in the
sweet company of
Guru’s daughter
Devayani.
After completing the
entire learning’s of
the
secret knowledge and
practicing it
successfully
on Devayani's
father, one day he
told her
that now he wanted
to go back to
heaven, as
his teachings were
complete and by
reviving her
father's life he had
proved the
worthiness of
his learning’s.
