THE BUDDHA
Although very little is known about the historical founder of Buddhism,many myths have been developed around his life.The Buddha was a prince named Siddhartha Gautama born into a powerful toyal clan of the Shakyas around the fourth or fifth century B.C.

He decided to find a way out of the cyclic suffering of life. After trying out a few extreme forms of asceticism,he discovered the "middle way"to liberation by rejecting both self-denial and self-indulgence while meditating under a fig tree,which today is known as a Bodhi tree (tree of consciousness). Following his realization, Siddhartha was called the Buddha the Awakened One,and began to
gain followers.

Ashuran or demons
Asuras an d Demons
In the Vedas, asura refers to any divine being-in-cluding gods like Varuna-and is closely related to Ahura Mazda,a high god in ancient Iran, In later Hindu mythology,the word applied only to the class of demonic beings who continually opposed the gods.As all gods were devas or suras, meaning "light," the asuras ("not gods") were associated with darkness. Along with pisacas ("ghouls"),rakshasas ("goblins"),vetalas ("vampires"), bhoots ("ghosts"),kinnaras ("sprites"),nagas ("snakes"),and gand-harvas ("nymphs"),suras were the supernatural but not divine beings who inhabited the cosmos. Asuras were not necessarily evil.The ones who became the most dangerous, like Ravana or Hi-ranyakashipu, did so by praying, meditating, and sacrificing until their piety and righteousness en-dowed them with power and invulnerability, which corrupted them.The asuras even had their own high priest,Sukra, who had the power to raise the dead and performed sacrifices for the demon king Bali.The main disagreement between the gods and the asuras was over the nectar of immortality.

! Varna and Agni !The Vedic gods Yama and Agni embody two impor-tant aspects of ancient Vedic belief-afterlife and sacrifice,respectively. One of the wisest deities,Yama was the god of death and the lord of the underworld. He and his twin sister Yami were born to the sun god Vivasvat and his wife SaranyaYama became the god of death when he was the first man to die and find the path to the underworld. In funeral hymns,Yama is called to lead the deceased to heaven. Agni, the god of fire,is second only to Indra in the number of hymns addressed to him in the Rig Veda. Although he was said to be present in the sun,in lightning,and in the fire of the hearth,is most important role was that of the sacrificial fire,which transmitted the offerings to the world of the gods.Thus,he acted as a mediator be-tween mortals and the gods. Agni was born out of the water, where he was said later to have re-turned to hide and had to becoaxed out by the sacrificial priests.
