The raksasa are not giants or titans for that matter. They are the step brothers of the demi gods of the Indralok, Indra and his brothers. They are evil by nature and desire to rule the humans who are ruled by Indra. You can compare them to the Sith and Indra and his gang as the Jedi. Both seek the force for power and understanding same is true for these two. They both meditate to the same gods for blessings and power to destroy one another.Deep_MindQuest said:These Titans or giants (Nephilim) also appeared in the traditions or legends, of the Indo-Aryan peoples and they were called, from India through to Asia, the giants in the Sanskrit which is raksasa. They appear in the Ramayana and the epics of the Indian world as raksasa (giants) and they are seen to be in conflict with men. There is no doubt that this tradition was common throughout the world up until the time of Christ. We find from the Dead Sea Scrolls that they had uncovered a number of texts. http://www.logon.org/english/s/p154.html
Rig Veda is almost 1000 years older than Bible so how can one say they borrowed it from bible could it not be that bible borrowed it and then rewrote it to fit their beliefs.Deep_MindQuest said:http://peace-of-mind.net/hinduism.htm Why I believe Hinduism and Hindu belief are false. http://www.apologeticspress.org/articles/2579 Apologetics Press :: Defense Documents The Ancient Origins of Hinduism
