'''Ishana''' ([[Sanskrit]]: ईशान, [[IAST]]: Īśāna), is a deity in Indian mythology and guardian of the northeast direction.

According to the [[Vastu|Vaastu Shastra]], it is auspicious in for homes and offices to be situated in the northeast. North is the direction wealth resides, associated with [[Kubera]], while East is the direction where knowledge resides, associated with [[Indra]]. For this reason, Ishana symbolizes the culmination of both knowledge and wealth.

==Ishans's Past==

According to the [[Brahmavaivarta Purana]], Isana was born out of the left eye of Lord [[Krishna]], during the creation. He was known as Digambara and Mahakaya. He is defined as terrific, wielding a trident, pattissa, and a club, clad in tiger skin, he had three eyes, and having a crescent crown. He became the leader of the [[Dikpala|Dikpalas]].<ref>Brahmavaivarta Purana Brahma Khanda (Khanda I) chapter 5.verses 33-34. English translation: Brahmavaivarta Purana English translation by Shantilal Nagar, Parimal Publications, Page 21.

==Mythology==
Īśāna is one of the [[Guardians of the directions|twelve devas]] who guard the directions.He is one of form of [[shiva]] and king of [[rudras]]. He is a chief among the gods of [[Paranirmitavaśavarti]], the sixth heaven of the [[Desire realm|kāmadhātu]].

According to the [[Ainōshō]], there is a theory that this deity is synonymous with [[Mara (demon)|Pāpīyas]] as well as the [[Shinto]] deity [[Izanagi]]. The [[Jinnō Shōtōki]] also states that there is a theory that the names of Japan's primordial creator gods [[Izanagi]] and [[Izanami]] are the same as the Sanskrit names Īśāna and Īśānī.

'''Īśānī''' is Īśāna's consort. According to the [[Secret Storehouse Records]] (祕藏記) she is flesh white in color and wields a [[Hoko yari|spear]].

===Appearance===
Īśāna is often depicted with three eyes and having a fierce expression.
