Dear Mr.N.S.Padmanabhan, I want to make an important correction in this mail of yours.You have mentioned that Ravana as Asura which is wrong.ASURAAS are different from RAAKSHASAAS.ASURAAS are born of PRAJAPATI MAHARSHI KAASYAPA , like DAITHYAS and DAANAVAS.On the other hand, RAAKSHASAAS are born of HETI and PRAHETI.Example: HIRANYAKASIPU was a ASURAA , and RAAVANA was a BRAHMARAAKSHASAA.
