Please note that this is Hinduism related page. All information about AHURA should be put in AHURA's page. NOTHING is mentioned in Hindu scriptures about AHURA. Hence the forign claim that "AHURA and Asur ( i.e. Anti-sur)are same" is irrelevant and is not accepted by Hindus anyway. Original word in Sanskrit is Sur. A-sur means Anti-sur e.g. a-symbiotic, a-synchronous etc. Putting the information about AHURA in the page for Asur can be considered as vandalism. If at all AHURA is to be refereced, a hyperlink to AHURA can be sufficient in See also section. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 120.61.51.123 ( talk) 09:19, 12 September 2011 (UTC)
Citing Tableau(s) I have to 2nd that . I think its more to do with conquests of Aryans over Dravidian where the word Asura is born.
Ahura Mazda was a Demi-God per se and can be traced to Vedic Religion. While Asura Predominantly Hindu NOT Vedic.I am seeing a lot of articles which directly relate Zoroastrianism to Hinduism forgetting they are off-shoot of proto-vedic religion. In essence they maybe the same but in terms of Ritual/Deities/Philosophy they are worlds apart.
The Zoroastrian burial ritual has more in common with Tibetan Shaman-ism than Elemental worship. I can cite many dissimilarities and similarities . That doesn't mean these two religions mirror each other .
The relationship between two religions is not like Abrahamic Religions but diverse and at times non-related. As these two religions evolved in isolation of each other.
I think it's funny that the asuras (not to mention Ahura Mazda) are so often called deities - which is of course a cognate of deva, which is exactly what they're not. ;) Bacchiad 19:17, 13 Jul 2004 (UTC)
Asura means demon in hindu mythology also known as rakasha and sri lankan
Possible addition to the "In fiction": There's a thing called Ashura (I'm not too clear on the exact spelling) in an anime, Earth Girl Arjuna. It's some sort of a glowing and silly-looking humanoid giant that the protagonist, Juna, somehow summons to fight on her side against the Raajas. Someone please verify the relevance of this to the article and either delete or add it to the article.
Asura is also a deity in Robert E. Howard's Hyborian Age.
What exactly is the difference between Rakshasa, asura, danava and daitya? -- Bolasanibk 06:49, 24 April 2006 (UTC)
Rakshasas are earthly monsters who are often gigantic or of hideous appearance, whereas Asuras were not necessarily demons in Vedic times (most of the gods who presided over aspects of society like marriage, law etc were Asuras whereas the controllers of natural phenomena were Devas, also known as Suras (A-Sura = not Sura)), although some were (eg Vritra). Some Vedic Asuras were even the brothers of Devas, for example some of the Adityas were Asuras whereas others were Devas. Daityas and Danavas are specific races of Asuras - Daityas are the descendants of Diti and Danavas are descended from Danu (also mother of the dragon Vritra in earlier texts). Diti and Danu were both wives of the sage Kashyapa. -- Grammatical error 15:49, 24 April 2006 (UTC)
can't we put in on a disambig page? -- Dangerous-Boy 03:45, 4 May 2006 (UTC)
Vairocana and Virocana are not the same person; Virocana is the Asura king, Vairocana is a universal aspect of Gautama Buddha. Also, the Buddist version of "Asura" is different from the Hindu; while both are linked to from the disambiguation page, isn't it a better idea to call this page "Asura (Hinduism)" and redirect "Asura" to the disambiguation page? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Dbutler1986 ( talk • contribs) 03:50, 5 April 2008 (UTC)
Ehm ... Buddhism is irrelevant here .Buddhism is an offspring of Hinduism . Asura in Buddhism is a cannibalized/bastardized deity from Parent mythos.
Buddhist Philosophy was taught by Gautama . Buddhist Religion was organized/propagated via Asoka . Thats why all the non related mythos. Just like Son-Goku ( Hanuman) Tripaka etc etc.
ALEXANDER VEGA... It has been inferred that Asura means wind demon.
This looks like it might be a legitimate piece of information, but needs to be correctly placed and clarified. -- Trɔpʏliʊm • blah 19:25, 31 July 2009 (UTC)
It states in the Varuna article that: "As the most prominent Asura, however, he is more concerned with moral and societal affairs than a deification of nature." ...So early on in Hinduism before the negative connotations was what distinguished the Asuras from the Devas was that the former (Asura) were gods of mankind, civilization, oaths, society, laws, moral structure and intellectual workings; whereas Devas were natural forces and spirits of the elements etc, wind, sky, rain and physical phenomenon: this is why Mitra & Varuna were Asuras & Devas both? This contrasts other Indo-European religions where possible cognates to Asuras, I am thinking the Norse Aesir but also the Zoroasterian deities, the Aesir were gods of law and contracts, government, order, sworn oaths and duty, dedication etc, whereas the other group of god, the vanir, were more nature spirits, fertility gods, etc. Early IE connections seems to point to that possible for Asuras too? If the Varuna article could be better sourced and clarified at that point, maybe that older distinction, if true, could be added and explained in detail here in this article. 70.59.142.186 ( talk) 04:53, 5 November 2009 (UTC)

Could it be that the reason the word 'asura' gradually came to have a negative connotation
was because it was mistakenly taken to mean anti-surya?

The article as written makes a connection between the Avesta of Zoroastrianism and the Vedas of Hinduism which is not justified. I understand the ethnic and cultural similarities between Persians and northern Indians and the shared features of Zoroastrianism and Hinduism but the Avesta is not a version of the Vedas nor is it analogous. Even to say it is analogous in being the oldest text in the religion would be wrong as the Gathas are the oldest texts in Zoroastrianism. Other than being very old religious texts of two groups which share an ancestral connection the two texts are not similar and the reader should be not be misled into thinking the similarity implied by the article is correct.
FWIW most of what the article contains about why daeva means different things in Zoroastrianism and Hinduism is speculation presented as fact. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.91.29.44 ( talk) 20:43, 13 January 2014 (UTC)

sura m. a symbolical N. for the number "thirty-three"(from the 33 gods;See deva - )
sura m. the image of a god, an idol

In Slovenia people around the Ajdovščina and river Soča knew in pre Christian times so called "ašure" (Ashure), which were evil spirits and their spirits were embodied into old, dried up roots of trees... River brough those roots (branches) to the rocky riverbed and grinded the wood through the sharpened stones. More sharpened, "ugly", weird looking were branches, more "evil" their spirits (Ašure) were. Those brances were carrying evil and catastrophes.

At least tell me the reason, how can this rearrangemnt degrade the article. Instead you are the one who is deleting references. Pali is also the language of the scriptures in which Asura occurs. Hence, its mention is important. Also, there is no such guidelines of order as I've stated in the discussion with earlier editor. None of the discussion was started for this or none was point put forth on previous discussion, as you were the one disagreeing, hence you should have started.

I agree with .245CMR.• 👥 📜, you are pushing your POV related to Buddhism and removing credible sourced content of Hinduism. Plus, there is already an article on Asura which talks about Buddhism. JRDkg ( talk) 15:11, 2 April 2021 (UTC)
I've many times made myself cleared. I'm not removinganything. I think you have some misunderstanding, again see the changes made in the edit. Instead you're the one who were removing the earlier sources of Hindu section, and now also images, pali for no reason stated and also new sources added by me as 245CMR asked for, which he was removing for no proper reason. Also you are reaaranging sections without any proper reason to POV push Hinduism in front of all others, if one has rearranged in better way,having stated proper reason of benefits of that rearrangement For first para there's nothing such guideline or generalizatuion that Hinduism should be first. Just at least tell me the portion which I've removed.. JaMongKut ( talk) 14:17, 3 April 2021 (UTC)
Though I previously opposed this, the best thing to resolve this is to just rename the Article to Asura (Hinduism)-which you first proposed-as majority of the content of this article is about Asura in Hinduism. .245CMR.• 👥 📜 14:30, 4 April 2021 (UTC)
