1. Asuras are a class of beings fathered by Kashyapa Rishi and mothered by Diti and Danu. Asuras born of Diti are called Daitya (meaning sons of Diti) and those born of Danu are called Danava (meaning sons of Danu).
2. Asuras are the opposite of Suras. Asura means those without light, those without spiritual knowledge or spiritual inclination. The devanagari letter अ (A) in (A)sura means ‘without’.
3. In Hindu mythology, the forefather of Rakshasas is said to be Kashyapa. Kashyapa is one of the ancient sages or rishis and is considered to be the father of many beings, including Devas, Asuras, Nagas, and Rakshasas.
4. He had many wives, including Aditi, Diti, and Kadru, among others, who gave birth to various divine and demonic creatures.
5. Sura are also known as the Devas. Deva is derived from the word Divya which means ‘light’. Sura means those who are effulgent with the knowledge of the spirit and God. It also means those who are pure and sattvic (good).
6. Suras, or the Devas, are also fathered by Kashyapa Rishi but mothered by the virtuous Aditi. Suras (Devas) are also called Adityas which means sons of Aditi. Diti, Aditi and Danu are daughters of Daksha the Prajapati.
7. Diti gave birth to the Rakshasas, while Aditi gave birth to the Devas. Diti was jealous of Aditi's sons and wanted to have powerful sons of her own. She performed a rigorous penance to please Lord Brahma and asked for a son who could defeat Indra, the king of Devas.
8. Lord Brahma granted her wish, and she gave birth to the Rakshasas. Therefore, Diti is considered the mother of the Danavas, while Kashyapa is their forefather.
9. In Hindu Vedic literature, Rakshasas are depicted as malevolent beings who can take on various forms, such as humans, animals, and demons. They are often portrayed as evil spirits that cause harm and destruction to humans and other creatures.
10. The Rakshasas are said to have been created by Brahma, the creator of the universe, and are described as being powerful, cunning, and fearsome. They are often associated with darkness and the night and are believed to have the ability to shape-shift and become invisible.
11. While Deva were created by Lord Vishnu by blessing the wife of Rishi Kashyapa, Aditi.
12. Maya Danava, the chief architect and engineer of the Asuras is described to surpass Vishwakarma, the chief architect and the engineer of the devas, in both skills and in knowledge. Asuras dwell in Bila Svarga which means subterannean heavens below Bhumandala (Earth).
13. They are called “heavens” because these realms are filled with abundance of material luxuries of unimaginable magnitude. The material opulence in Bila Svarga surpasses that of Svarga (heavens, abode of the devas).
14. Bila Svargas are divided into seven different parts namely Atala, Vitala, Sutala, Talatala, Mahatala, Rasatala and Patala. Sub classes of Asuras live in each region according to their inclination and desire.
15. Bila Svargas are not hell but regions devoid of the knowledge of God where Asuras dwell. Beneath Patala lies Naraka which is the hell proper.
16.Shukracharya is considered as the guru, disciplinarian and guide of demons or asuras. Among demons shukracharya was one of the most clever and the wisest person, who were already blinded of envy from devatas.
17. The most powerful rakshasa in history(wrongly considered as Hindu mythology) is Hiranyaksha who fought with Varaha ( 3rd Incarnation of vishnu) for 1000 years straight. Among all the other avatars of vishnu, Varaha is considered to be the most strongest next to kalki.
18. Other powerful asuras were clearly Madhu and Kaitabha. Vishnu Himself fought them for centuries but did not defeat them until He finally resorted to trickery.
19. To this day Vishnu is still often called by the name Madhusudana (“Madhu’s killer”) to honor him for this hard-won victory (the corresponding name, Kaitabhajit, has become more obscure; it just doesn’t have the same ring to it).
20. Daityas: Sons of Diti were called Daityas. Daityas are a race of demons living in Sutala Loka. Lord Vamana had transferred Bali to Sutala where he lives as the king of all Daityas.
21. Asuras: Asuras are Daityas itself. According to Vishnu Purana, during the churning of the ocean, the daityas came to be known as Asuras because they rejected Varuni, the goddess of wine, while the devas accepted her and came to be known as Suras.
22. Danavas: Danavas were a race descending from sage Kashyapa and Danu. Asuras and Danavas were half brothers of Devtas. Greek mythology also has a similar story where the demonic brothers of gods were called as Titans.
23. Rakshasas: According to Uttara Kanda of Valmiki Ramayan, Rakshasas originated from Lord Brahma. Later they grew in large number as the sons of Pulastya (Grandfather of Ravana).

1931 Kanpur Riots Report - How Aurangzeb was declared a saint by Indian National Congress🧵
Do you know Indian National Congress adopted official policy to re-write India's history in 1931 to proclaim that Islam is a peaceful religion??
Lets check the literary desecration of India's history by the Indian National Congress and birth of re-writers of India's history!!
Read on.....
1. The Riots
On 23rd March 1931 after the hanging of Shaheed Bhagat Singh, Shaheed Rajguru, Shaheed Sukhdev, Indian National Congress declared Bharat Bandh.
But in Kanpur few Muslims aligned with British govt and kept their shops open.
This led to social friction with INC workers asking for a complete bandh.
On 24th March 1931 riots started and continued for next 6 weeks leaving 400 dead and almost half of Kanpur burnt to ashes.
The most famous causality of these riots was Congress leader Ganesh Shankar Vidyarthi. He was a close friend of Bhagat Singh and Shaheed Chandrashekhar Azad.
Communal riots broke in Kanpur in march 1931 when Muslim shopkeepers refused to close their shops on the request of Hartal by Hindu congressmen. Vidyarthi threw himself in the riots and at many instances saved Muslims from Hindu crowd and Hindus from Muslim mob.
The worst phase of riots began after the hanging of Bhagat Singh on March 23. Vidyarthi was shattered by the loss of his friend. But he had his dharma ahead of him, so he didn’t mourn for long. He asked help from deputy collector and he promised to provide him with escorts. But, as evident from the letters written by Vidyarthi a day before his death, the police did nothing but watched the bloodbath like a spectator.
On march 25, Vidyarthi found a young Hindu who had saved about thirty muslim men, women and children from the blood thirsty mob. The injured had to be taken to the hospital in a lorry without any escort. Meanwhile, the crowd had set houses on fire. Vidyarthi helped people come out of their burning houses and sent the injured in rescue lorry. After the lorry loaded with the victims left, he was left alone with few volunteers.
The two constables who were accompanying them also left. Now, Vidyarthi was trapped between two crowds from both directions of the road, bareheaded and barefooted. The first set of crowd reached him but he was not touched because some among the crowd recognized him from the previous day helping Muslims.
But the other set of crowd wasn’t so thoughtful. He was dragged on the lane by the crowd. The volunteers tried to stop it but Vidyarthi Ji denied any help and said that it was his destiny to die while doing his duty. One volunteer was stabbed to death and others fled for their lives.
Now, Vidyarthi was alone amongst the cruel mob. One among the mob bowed his head down and the other stabbed him in the back with an axe. Once he fell, he was stabbed multiple times and stamped upon by the feet of the mob.
His dead body was found two days later in a gunny sack. His face was completely disfigured and his identity was confirmed by his clothes, letters in his pockets, peculiar hairstyle and a tattoo on his arms. Mahatma Gandhi said that his blood was the cement that would ultimately bind the two communities.

2. The Aftermath
The devastation these riots brought was further fueled by official inaction of then British govt.
Tabligh Movement, which was founded by Maulana Muhammad Ilyas Kandhlawi in 1926 and origin of Muslim League has further fueled the religious tension in India by that time. A new movement which originated form Tabligh Movement was Tanzim movement which was fanned by Muslim league rhetoric that Indian National Congress is a Hindu party which actually it was not.
But 1927 Kanpur riots had sowed the seeds of religious strife while Mahatma Gandhi kept on peddling his agenda of Muslim first in a Hindu majority country.
By March of 1931, Hindus and Muslims had diverged politically and economically. The
National Civil Disobedience Movement had caused the initial fracture and subsequent religious
developments ensured that both religious groups would see their interests as conflicting rather than
as collaborative. In the span of eight years, from 1922-1930, when the Nationalist Movement was
inactive, religious organizations proliferated to the extent that they divided Hindus and Muslims
into two camps.
The Congress Movement came to be regarded as a Hindu party, advancing exclusively Hindu interests while the Tanzim Movement gained ground as a platform for Muslims.
In Kanpur, the day after the execution became known, hurried preparations were put in
place for a hartal (boycott) to commemorate Baghat Singh’s execution in a nationwide
campaign.
The Congress Party in Kanpur had “chalked out a programme for the observance of Bhagat Singh Day” which included a citywide “hartal, bare-footed and bare-headed, silent procession, [and a] meeting in the evening.”
Although Congress leaders headed preparations to inform shopkeepers, “boys and young men would see that a hartal in honour of their own hero, Bhagat Singh, would be a strict and complete.”172 The strict enforcement of the hartal gave way to increasing resentment of Muslim shopkeepers and small clashes erupted across the city the morning of March 24th as
occupants of vehicles were forced to dismount.
By noon on March 24th, the small skirmishes that had led to prominent members of the
Congress Party traversing Kanpur on foot and quelling the small clashes had evolved into larger
acts of violence. Gangs of young men shattered shop windows and threatened shopkeepers with
further acts of vandalism if the shops remained open.
A witness cited in the Kanpur Riots Commission Report, Rai Sahib Rup Chand Jain, a banker and an Honorary Magistrate, corroborated Sale’s testimony.
Declaring “a large number of rowdy Muslims were seen scattered on Halsey and Moolganj roads
armed with lathis (clubs), ballams (spears), khantas (axes), etc.
The Kanpur Riots resulted in the deaths of over 400 people and left a city devastated. In
six days, from March 24th to March 30th 1931, eighteen mosques were burnt, forty-two temples
plundered and over 250 houses damaged.4 Ganesh Shankar Vidyarthi, the President of the
United Provinces Provincial Congress Committee, died attempting to protect Hindus from a
Muslim mob, and in every mohalla (neighborhood) of the city, stories emerged of the brutal
atrocities that had taken place.
The aftermath of the riot saw the Governor in Council of the province dismiss District Magistrate, J.F Sale, the highest British civil servant in Kanpur, and
charges of official (British) inaction during the riots coupled with the mismanagement of police
forces became front-page news. The riots, in 1931, conjured up “scenes of devastation,”.
The Leader, an Indian newspaper with a pro-Congress Party slant, daily depicted in April editions of
the newspaper that how much devastation these riots led to.
The Hindu is one of the oldest News papers in India and one of the oldest associates of International Press institute, A CIA front for media propaganda.

How Ayurveda is repackaged by West in the name of new research🧵
National Institute of Health publishes a research report that chewing wood is good for brain and cardiovascular health.
In the seminal book Ashtang Hriday of Ayurveda there is a concept of Dincharya where concept of Daatun (chewing wood stick of special plants to cleanse rhe teeth) has been mentioned. That predates chewing wood for good health to some 2000 years ago.
1. In Dincharya Adhyay of Ashtang Friday start of rhe day is Prataruthana.
Perfect time to wake up is Brahma Mahurta.
2. Second part of Dincharya is Dantadhavana.
Ashtang hriday mentioned the name of suitable plants whose sticks could be chewed to maintain dental/ oral hygiene.
