⭐️Who was the forefather of Asura's in Hindu Vedic literature

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).

Church of Satan @ChurchofSatan took great pains to reply to me that they have nothing to do with Occultist influence and Occultist rituals which are a hall mark of Luciferian order also.
So Lets check in on The Church of Satan .🧵 Image
Image
1. The One who loved Satan
Anton Szandor LaVey (April 11, 1930 – October 29, 1997), born Howard Stanton Levey, was the founder of the Church of Satan (30th April, 1966).
He created a religion called LaVeyan Satanism. He wrote several books describing his beliefs.
His first book was called The Satanic Bible.
But he also wrote:
The Satanic Witch
The Devil's Notebook
Satan Speaks!Image
Image
2. Hose and Panties

In his book "The Satanic Witch" Anton Lavey has some very fascinating things to teach to women:

1. Advise for Indecent exposure by a woman - If a man exposes himself by unzipping his trousers from behind a bush or in a doorway or subway, he has silently
proclaimed himself an exposer, a pervert, a dirty old man. He will most certainly be arrested if he keeps it up long enough and be considered a social problem. If the same man wishes to remove all of his clothing, as a form of protest, as we see happening in radical groups, he might get away with it, but he must still carry the stigma of the misfit, the social freak. He can always join a nudist camp, but if sexual aims are his purpose, he’d better forget that idea, as he would be expelled at the first sign of an erection. If there is a “free beach” nearby, he can cavort nude, but as in the case of social protest nudism and
nudist camps, he must go all the way, thereby labeling himself a rebel.
The woman has no such problems, as her potential avenues of indecent exposure are generally those that will allow her to remain a part of established society. A smart witch need never lack for suitable opportunities to expose herself. Simply exposing oneself is not enough, though. In order to compel and fascinate you must employ the Law of the Forbidden

2. On Women wearing panties -

Throw away your panty hose and forget about them! The are a curse perpetrated on women by people who would rather you weren’t women. Panty hose are nothing more than cloth chastity belts that assure the wearer that nobody’s gonna see anything they ain’t supposed to. There goes twenty points for the Law of the Forbidden right down the drain.
The man who ogles a girl wearing panty hose knows that he can only see so much, nothing more. There is never the hope that she might forget the hem of her skirt just long enough to give a flash of bare thigh. “Never worry about those ugly gaps
where your thigh bulges (ugh) between your girdle and stockings,” cackle the ads, brainwashing women into sensual self deceit.
“No more unsightly hardware ruining the trim lines of today’s styles,” coo the harbingers of defeminization.
“Banishes all snaps, clips and straps, so you’ll look as smooth as can be,” prattle the merchants of misplaced mannishness.
Panty hose are nothing new. Jacques Leotard, a nineteenth century circus aerialist looked great in them. He even had some with tops sewn on. In fact, he gave his name to the garment worn by ballet artists and trapeze performers. And do you know why leotards, tights and pre-panty hose were worn? Because little else was and in the interest of property the bare flesh had to be covered. That was seventy-five years ago, and tights were worn as a specialized type of garment by both men and women, who, after the performance was over, got into their respective boy and girl clothes.

3. Prostitutes as best Witches

- Some of the best witches are prostitutes. It’s their job to attract men! They not only learn the little quirks that other women never see in men, but they must be able to dress, act and think outside their natural role.
Unfortunately, many present-day prostitutes have abandoned their uniforms and gone the way of fashion, and there is nothing so dismal as a stylish prostitute. Or course, the girls who wear the panty hose, bell-bottoms and combat shoes can’t
understand why they aren’t spoken for as much as their high-heeled, stocking-clad, tight skirted sisters. And you can be sure the gals who know what most men prefer are not about to tell them.

- Wear a bra, unless your garment is thin enough that it’s apparent you’re not! Otherwise, your nipples won’t be seen, and what’s the point in going bra-less if they don’t show? You’ve either got to show some breast or else some nipple. A bulky sweater, with no bra, shows neither. If you are one of the big-busted, kindly disregard what I just said.
Wear a slip or a half-slip if you wish, but keep it plain and simple—no layers of ruffles to get in the way when you sit down so your legs will be obscured.Image

Regime change in India🧵
When I started my research of "Regime change in India" series, i never knew that it would become a beacon of dark truths hidden under the carpet of political glitz and geopolitical scandals.
Once even @wikileaks stopped by to say hello but powers their be in our own country will always take their sweet time to wake up when someone burns the house.
Here are 20 reminders from 20 parts of this ongoing research which will continue till either my breathes stop or India becomes a Hindu Radhtra.
Read on..!!
1. It all starts in the great halls of Washington by Belway Boys of the deep state. This part 1 of the series was hardest to construct by it remains the central axis of the entire ongoingvrsearch.
2. Part 2 was more like dwelling deep into sophistication and depth of anti India propaganda starting from the power rooms of the US embassy in Delhi!!

सोशल मीडिया के सौजन्य से🎭
जगदीप धनखड़ 🧵
पीछे से विपक्ष की पिच पर खेलने लगे थे धनखड़ साहब ?
केंद्र सरकार जस्टिस वर्मा के खिलाफ लोकसभा में महाभियोग लेकर आई.
केंद्र सरकार की योजना थी कि लोकसभा स्पीकर की अगुवाई में जस्टिस वर्मा को हटाने की प्रक्रिया होगी और ये कार्य केंद्र सरकार करेगीImage
1.
तभी राज्यसभा में वो हुआ, जिसने भाजपा, केंद्र सरकार को हिला दिया. VP धनखड़ साहब ने अचानक से राज्यसभा में जस्टिस वर्मा के ख़िलाफ़ विपक्ष द्वारा लाए गए महाभियोग के नोटिस को स्वीकार कर लिया. इस नोटिस पर 63 सांसदों के साइन थे और ये सभी सांसद विपक्ष के थे. धनखड़ साहब ने ये सब तब किया, जब राज्यसभा में नेता सदन जेपी नड्डा और वरिष्ठ मंत्री अनुपस्थित थे. सिर्फ क़ानून मंत्री अर्जुन राम मेघवाल और जी किशन रेड्डी थे
जैसे ही धनखड़ साहब ने विपक्ष का प्रस्ताव स्वीकार किया, मेघवाल और रेड्डी के चेहरे की हवाइयां उड़ गई. दरअसल VP साहब ने केंद्र को बताए बिना विपक्ष का प्रस्ताव स्वीकार कर लिया था.
2. केंद्र सरकार जहां जहां लोकसभा में प्रस्ताव लाकर जस्टिस वर्मा को हटाने की प्रक्रिया का नेतृत्व कर न्यायिक सुधार की बड़ी मिसाल पेश करने जा रही थी, तभी धनखड़ साहब ने राज्यसभा के माध्यम से इसमें विपक्ष की भी एंट्री करा दी. केंद्र के सूत्रों की मानें तो ये सब जस्टिस वर्मा को बचाने की योजना का हिस्सा था क्योंकि विपक्ष के कई नेता जस्टिस वर्मा को हटाने के विरोध में बोल चुके थे

Congress govt fools unemployed youths of Himachal after promising 500000 jobs in their election manifesto.
Govt Jobs in Himachal Just Got Rewritten? But At What Cost?
The Himachal Pradesh government has rolled out a new Job Trainee Policy for all Group A, B, and C posts in government departments, boards, and corporations.
Sounds like progress?
Think again.Image
1. The Tuglaqi farman of HP Congress govt. says that:
• Every new recruit will now serve as a ‘Job Trainee’ for 2 years — not a regular employee
• During this period, they’ll get only a fixed stipend (~60% of salary)
• No pension, no CCS leave rules, no insurance, no EPF/GPF, no LTC
• Health coverage under HimCare & Ayushman Bharat only
• After 2 years, they must clear another proficiency exam to even be considered for permanent employment
• Private agencies may be used for recruitment, raising concerns about transparencyImage
2. Meanwhile, certain elite posts like HPAS officers, judges, professors, and constables are exempted from this policy.
Why the Outrage?
BJP leader Sudhir Sharma called this a “cruel joke on Himachali youth”, accusing the government of shattering dreams, outsourcing opportunities, and using trainees without guarantees.
Aspirants now face 2 years of uncertainty, lower pay, and no job security — all in the name of reform.Image
