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.
B.C.VENKATAKRISHNAN.
