List of wars between Gods and Demons (Wars between Suras and Asuras) Namaste friends, how are your doing today? Bhagavan Sri Vishnu blessings to you and your family! In Hindu Sanatana Dharma wars are described in different granthas (Hindu divine books). Usually wars are fought between Suras (Devatas / Demigods) and Asuras (Demons). Both Suras and Asuras are highly capable. Suras and Asuras both were very well equipped with different weapons (शस्त्र / आयुध / śāstra / āyudha / weapons). But the difference is about Dharma. Suras are usually with Dharma and Asuras are normally with Adharma. The great Hindu Sanatana Dharma teachings prescribe war as the final choice to be applied only after all peaceful methods are depleted. Participation in Dharmic yuddha (Righteous war) was said to be honourable and was a principal duty of the Kshatriyas (Warriors of Hinduism), and victory in such wars was regarded as a matter of great pride. List of wars between Gods and Demons are as given below: Narasimha Yuddha Vamana Yuddha Varaha...

If one worships Bhagavan Sri Vishnu with flowers and especially with Tulasi leaves, or one who always make the smarana (chanting) of Bhagavan Srimann Narayana, then that person will never go to Naraka (Hell).

One then has to pay for whatever sins one might have committed. The sinners suffer and those who have performed good deeds are naturally rewarded. There are in fact two gates that lead into Yamaloka. The Dharmatmas (one who follow the Dharma of Bharatiya Sanatana Dharma) are brought by yamadutas (Yama’s servants) through the western gate and are then taken to svarga or as...
