 Indra
The defeat of Indra, in Hindu mythology, at the hands of the demon Ravana, the Rakshasa king of Sri Lanka, and his release from captivity at the behest of Brahma was attributed to the seduction of Ahalya.
Indra is the Vedic god of rain and thunder.
Later in Hinduism, Indra becomes an aspect of Shiva, being subordinate to him, Brahma, and Vishnu.

 Indra
Indra eventually was given the role of weather god and lord of the lesser gods.
Indra held court at Svarga, his heaven in the clouds surrounding the highest peak of the sacred mountain Meru.
He was the leader of the Devas, the god of war, the god of thunder and storms, the greatest of all warriors, the strongest of all beings.

 Indra
Indra is mentioned as having a wife, and the name of Indrani or Aindri is invoked among the goddesses.
Indra had been an object of worship among the pastoral people of Vraja, but Krishna persuaded them to cease this worship.
Indra was greatly enraged at this, and sent a deluge of rain to overwhelm them; but Krishna lifted up the mountain Govardhana on his finger to shelter them, and so held it for seven days, till Indra was baffled and rendered homage to Krishna.

 Indra - The King of Heaven - Indian Mythology
Indra is the king of the lesser gods, known as the Devas.
It is said that Indra is not one person, but rather the generic name of the king of heaven.
Therefore, the present Indra will always be jealous of his position and always keeps an eye on mortals performing sacrifices or penances, lest they fulfill the condition and dethrone him.

 Indra
Indra was a parallel of the Greek sky god Zeus.
In the Rig Veda, which is a collection of antique Hindu hymns, Indra is described as the king of the gods.
To seduce Gautama's wife, Indra dressed himself as the sage and went to Ahalya's house to have intercourse with her.

 Iranica.com - INDRA
As already mentioned, Indra is the most celebrated of the gods in the RV.
19.43 Indra stands second in a list of demons after Aºra Mainyu, perhaps an indication of his importance in the demonic hierarchy, and this place immediately after Ako@man, rather than Ahriman, is repeated in the Pahlavi Books (GrBd 15.9).
Impossible to substantiate is the notion that Iranians, in cultural conflict with Indo-Aryans, demonized their chief god.

 The Ascent and Decline of Indra in Hindu Mythology
Indra’s role as the supreme god and unvanquished conqueror of the demons has now been lost to him.
Indra’s role as lord of the storms and rain certainly lead to some speculation that Indra is simply the Indian manifestation of this heavenly father.
Instead, early Hindu mythology undoubtedly terms Indra, the ruler of storms and rain, as king of the gods and supreme ruler of the heavens.

 Festivals of Nepal: Indra Jatra
The festival is named after Lord Indra who is known as the god of rain and also as the king of heaven.

On the third day of the festival of Indra Jatra, the living goddess Kumari is taken out in a procession in a chariot.

 4.7. INDRA AND SHIVA
In mythology, Indra is, like Shiva, a bit of an outsider, who is in conflict with the other gods, shunned by them (and even by his mother), left alone by them to fight the Dragon, doing things that disrupt the world order.
Those who see it this way have never explained why the dominant Aryans have, over the centuries, abandoned their victorious god (Indra is practically not worshipped in any of the temples manned by Brahminical priests) in favour of the god of their defeated enemies.
As I heard a Catholic priest from Kerala claim, “Shiva is not a Hindu god, because he is the god of the pre-Aryans.”

 Fiction: Indra's Rice, by S. Evans
"Indra?" Murali asks, but she is past the curtain, into the shrine, and kneeling.
She does not know when she fell asleep; the last time she looked at the clock it was four-thirty in the morning.
It is only a few steps to the shrine, where Ganesh, bronze and plump, sits with yesterday's wilted peonies lying at his feet.

 Indra's Universes
It took Indra quite a while to realize that he had a box of thunderbolts and that all he had to do was drop a thunderbolt on the monster and blow him up.
And when Indrani hears of Indra's plan, she goes to the priest of the gods and says, "Now he has got the idea in his head of going out to become a yogi."
You can make a choice, either to throw it all off and go into the forest to meditate, or to stay in the world, both in the life of your job, which is the kingly job of politics and achievement, and in the love life with your wife and family.

The vajra evolved from the thunderbolt-scepter wielded by the Vedic god Indra.
Vajrayana (Tantric Buddhism), belongs to Hinayana Buddhism and saw it's birth in the 5th century B.C. With Vajrayana Buddhism the vajra descended from the gods to mankind and became a powerful tool for meditation and has been in use up till present day.
There was a certain sage who meditated on Mount Meru for centuries, and when he died his bones were transformed into vajra, and Indra, the king of the gods, discovered this and made his weapon out of it, a vajra with a hundred points.

He told Indra, “After 60,000 years I will restore your kingdom to you.” So Indra prayed and meditated for 60,000 years and his kingdom was restored to him.
Who should come to him then but his own Guru, Brihaspati, who is the Guru of all the cosmic gods.
The young boy went on, “No other Indra has such a beautiful kingdom or such a splendid palace.

 a moment of inspiration
Maybe that is why Jesus teaches us not to worry about tomorrow, to trust fully to God who loves us so much, and to take it as it comes, for this life of being vulnerable makes us open and be faithful to the ways of God who is unpredictable and always new every day.
We inherit the Holy Spirit, which is the Love between the Father and the Son, and we also inherit Christ’s mission, which is to bring everyone to the Father’s house.
We need to know that we have "inherited his genes" that is, the Holy Spirit, who will empower us to love God and each other as God has loved us first.

This speaks to the hidden interconnectedness and interdependency of everything and everyone in the universe, and has an indirect reference to the concept of "Dependent Origination" in Buddhism.
Each node, representing an individual, simply reflects the qualities of all other nodes, inferring the notion of 'not-self' or a lack of a solid and real inherent self, as seen in the Advaita Vedanta school of Hinduism and Buddhism in general.

In the Vedic Hindu mythology, Indra represents the greatest and best of the deities, and is thus the god of sky and storms and of all forces lying in atmospheric phenomena.
Deactivation procedures followed her arrival in San Diego, and on 6 October 1947, only two years after she was commissioned, Indra was decommissioned and placed in the San Diego Group of the Pacific Reserve Fleet.
