Demon is very commonly used to translate the Sanskrit word ‘asura’. Demon is considered in the biblical tradition as the personification of evil. Demons are the ones who support all that is sinful and vile in this world and cause all its sufferings. Hinduism does not have concepts like demon, devil or Satan. Asura is used to denote someone who takes pleasure only in enjoying the materialistic life. Although asuras generally possess many vices, this is not an inviolable rule and there are instances where even an asura has displayed extraordinary virtues. In this video Babaji and Rajiv take a close look at the concept of ‘asura’ in Hinduism. This will help us to recognize the differences between ‘asura’ and ‘demon’.
