The Gandharvas are important spirits of
Indian Mythology. They are half-man and half-bird
and are friendly towards human beings. There is
controversy over their origin. Some texts advocate
that they are directly descended from Brahma while
others say that they are the children of the sage
Kasyapa.
The first Gandharva had knowledge of divine truths
and was appointed by the Gods to prepare and be
guardian of the celestial soma juice. This initial
ancestor may have symbolized the fire of the sun.
His descendants are the guardians of amrita
(ambrosia). They are also famed for their prowess as
healers and are proficient in medicine. Gandharvas
are supposed to have splendid cities of their own
somewhere in the universe but they are usually found
in Indra’s heaven Vaikunth. There, together with the
Apsaras (celestial nymphs), they sing and dance and
play their musical instruments entertaining
everyone.
The Gandharvas are known to haunt the air, forests
and mountains of the earth. They are mischievous and
often fool people with their illusions which they
work at the time of twilight. Very occasionally they
have been known to fight humans but only in cases
where the humans were evil.
The Gandharvas have serious rivalry with the Nagas
(serpents) whose netherworld kingdom they conquered
and plundered. On that occasion the Nagas sought the
help of Vishnu who descended to Patala (the nether
region kingdom of the Nagas) in the form of the
river Narmada and swept away the Gandharva army thus
driving them out. The Gandharvas are partial to
women and are famed for their powers over them.
