⭐️Who was the forefather of Asura's in Hindu Vedic literature
#thread
#Sanatan #Ved #Ramayan #Mahabharat #Puran #Hindu Image
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). Image
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’. Image
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. Image
4. He had many wives, including Aditi, Diti, and Kadru, among others, who gave birth to various divine and demonic creatures. Image
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). Image
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. Image
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. Image
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. Image
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. Image
11. While Deva were created by Lord Vishnu by blessing the wife of Rishi Kashyapa, Aditi. Image
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). Image
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. Image
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. Image
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. Image
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).

The Warfare of Narrative 🧵
Did you know:
🎭How foreign-funded proxies peddle propaganda against India?
🎭How does the Media become the biggest source of propaganda?
🎭How in the name of Media Freedom and Fact checking, narratives are built to twist the social opinions for electoral gains to engineer regime change?
🪔 Let's find out the answer to all these questions in the next part of the series:
Regime Change in India
Part 21Image
1. The Smokescreen

In the previous parts of the series, we have seen in ample detail how Deep State proxies and fronts fund their proxies in India to engineer a narrative and make complete propaganda at scale with such narratives.
(x.com/IamTheStory__/…)
(x.com/IamTheStory__/…)
But the biggest question is, why would they spend millions of dollars just to spread disinformation?
Or is it misinformation??
Misinformation is false information that is spread, regardless of whether there is an intent to mislead.
Disinformation is misinformation that is knowingly (intentionally) spread.
So now we know that the context of information and intention both can be twisted to change information into misinformation and use that to create disinformation.
But what is the objective?
The objective is simple:
To control the polity by fracturing the landscape of politics of a geography or country.
2. The Riddle which was never solved

The biggest challenge for the Deep State in Asia is India and its present Nationalist Government. Led by Shri Narendra Modi. Two consecutive terms were somehow swallowed by political opponents and their deep state backers. But now the 3rd term for Modi was not at all tenable.
India's growing economic might and self-reliance, fueled by "MAKE IN INDIA" manufacturing, was hurting the global military industrial complex and its deep state backers. The desperation to unseat Modi did hit a crescendo during the COVID pandemic when India went on to save half of the world with its own COVID-19 vaccine.
Now it was about time to act and solve the Modi Riddle and checkmate India's economic might to open the floodgates of economic loot and scoot for foreign MNCs.
But what was the best way to solve the "India Riddle"?
It called for some massive funding and the creation of a disinformation network at an unprecedented scale.
Enter Google and the George Soros-funded Poynter Institute. Two of the biggest funders and backers of Left liberal propaganda proxies.
In the year 2020, when Google News initiative Startup lab was launched by Internews and The News minute in India it was beginning of something sinister and debased.
In the next parts, we will see how these two entities funded and engineered a massive media proxy network to spread disinformation and at a scale populace of India has never seen.

Meet Tommy Genesis aka Genesis Yasmine Mohanraj
A Vancouver, Canada based rapper
She has done her makeup in the video of one of her songs titled "True Blue" just to show her wokeness towards Hindu culture.
Is it a coincidence?
Not at all
By the way Genesis is bisexual. That sums up her cultural mindset.
VC: @YearOfTheKraken
1. And she tried showing her type of India in this song as some "Freak of India"!! Image
2. So as per wokes this is how India looks like!! Image

Audrey Truschke is back with a new book to teach India and Indians about its ancient history🧵
The propaganda to plagiarize and appropriate our truthful history is back with a timeliness dating to 5000 years. Image
Image
1. The platform

As usual Zia UsIslam from the Hindu arranged for a propaganda interview and The Hindu aptly published Audrey Truschke History propaganda interview!!
So smooth for an anti Hindu anti India newspaper. Image
2. The Aryan question
As usual Audrey Truschke deftly labelled the very origin of India's human population As "MIGRANTS" by saying that I side stepped word "Aryan" to avoid controversy!!
But her point- Nothing was indigenous to India including it's Vedic culture. Image
