The Difference Between Asura, Daitya, Rakshasa and Pisach.

One of the primary gods of Hinduism, Shiva, The first Yogi, never discriminates between good and bad, Suras and Asuras, and also in humans. That is one of the reasons he is also known as 'Bholenath', The Innocent one. The Vedas have taught humans to be good even to the wrong ones, as any Human, God, or Devil can change. It always has been the lack of knowledge to cause the mistakes leading to evil thoughts and deeds. The only way to deal with other's mentality is to educate with the right things without hurting the physical body, and that is one of the primary objectives of Dharma.    Not everyone is blessed with the Intelligence and not every Intellectual is selfless. And as it is said, Lack of brain activity makes a home for evil. Psychologically, that's correct. Always the people with less knowledge were sacrificed for the namesake of religion, borders, and greed. Life can be the one-time opportunity in the universe full of possibilities, one should not waste it on...

The Origins of Indian Gods

The concept of Indian Gods cannot be expressed in one community, caste, or religion as the nation currently endures and comforts almost every known devotions and believer. Although it is still disputable about the earliest people and religions in India, Hinduism affirms to be the most popular early age Vedic based order of society with the rules and laws referred from the ancient texts of Vedas. Hence, in this column we can discuss the Hindu Gods, or as they like to call them the 'Devas'.  The Hindu deity concept varies from a personal god as in to perform Yoga, to 33 Vedic deities, to hundreds of Puranics of Hinduism. Firstly, the people were devoted to the visible gods in nature like the Surya for Sun, Indra for rain, Agni for Fire, Vayu for Air, and so on. They meditated and worshipped to please them for a comfortable environment and to generate resources from the land.  The Devas represents the good, and Asuras the bad. But as per the sacred texts of Bhagavad Gita, all bei...

Who are Asuras?

   Asuras, popularly known as the opposites of Gods or the Suras, are often misunderstood for a power-seeking class and tend to be evil. As per some Indian texts, Daksha, son of Bramha, married his daughters, Diti and Aditi to sage Kashyap. To keep the life cycle running, Aditi asked Kashyapa for children and was blessed. Hence the children were called Adityas. Jealous by these, Diti asked Kashyapa for the same blessing and was blessed and borns were known as Daityas. As Diti had the emotions of Greed, Lust, and Jealousy in her mind while the wish was granted, the children were born with the same traits and hence brought those emotions in the world. In the Brahmanda Purana, it is stated the term 'Asura' was used for the Daitya s due to their rejection of Varuni (Goddess of Wine) after she emerged from the Ocean of Milk. So, all we know here is the devas and asuras are blood relatives fighting for the peace of lands.  A British Sanskrit professor, Monier-Williams, tracks ...

Just Like the River..!

Just like the river, I should flow carrying everything that floats on me. To never stop and keep running like a bliss. Only if I keep moving forward, nothing can stop me, not even the tallest of mountains and the deepest of the abyss.   Just like the river, I should move forward and never turn back. Helping everyone on the way, prospering every life I can. Only if I look ahead, past won't matter, as I have a long way to go till I end in the ocean of splatter.  It might take the biggest of bridges to cross me over, but I never stop. If I stop, the dirt will consume me, polluting every inch of my soul and every drop.  Just like the river, I should help everything I can. Giving away everything I can.  I will be pure only if I move forward, overcoming every dirt and pain of others, individual or a clan. I should flow even after falling hard from the mountains of failure. But that is only possible if I can be like a river. I turn, I bend, I fall, I rise. ...
