Apsaras in Indian mythology are described in amazing beautiful, attractive and divine female forms. They are residents of heaven and their task is to serve the gods, dance, and maintain beauty and entertainment in heaven. But many times there is a description in the stories that these nymphs were attracted to humans, and their mind was shaken. After all, what was the reason for this? Was there any spiritual or emotional secret behind this? Let’s know.
1. Teap of tenacity and restraint in humans
When humans used to do hard penance, their sharp gods also reached. Many times the gods feel that ascetics can take away the place of heaven with their penance. Then gods like Indra used to send nymphs to disturb the penance of ascetic. But many times the nymphs themselves were fascinated by the sharp, attraction and practice of that ascetic.
Example:
The story of Vishwamitra and Maneka is famous. Maneka was sent to dissolve the tenacity of Vishwamitra, but gradually he was attracted to him and he fell in love.
2. Emotional depth and love of humans
The gods are immortal, but they do not have the emotional depth that occurs in the heart of a human being. Apsaras used to experience true love, belonging and emotional connection when they met humans, which was rare in heaven. This experience fascinated them.
3. Many Apsaras were cursed or wishful
Some nymphs such as Urvashi, Rambha, Dhutachi, Maneka etc. were born for special reasons or they had got some curse due to which they had to come to earth and experience human life. In such a situation, when she met a particular human being, love, attraction or belonging was automatically awakened in her mind.
4. Bravery and ability of humans
Many times the nymphs were influenced by the brave warriors of the Earth or the knowledgeable men. His bravery, courage, knowledge, and the spirit of pharmacology attracted him. Apsaras used to be attracted to that unique quality even after staying in heaven.
