Indo-European words for God - The Meaning of God Through Etymological Exploration 

Yeah, funny, exactly.. that was the time period when prophet Zoroaster came over as a reformer against the Vedic religion and tradition in that region. Then they made new terminology, changed some meanings to their opposite. A bit later it was a much more neccesary tool as a sovereign general religion to strenghten the power of the Achaemid empire. Just a good example of how the propaganda communication works. That was the same trick as nowadays. People are people, with quite similar intentions trough many millenia.:) Religions always have two aspects: one for the strategic and tactic use for the rulers, and one for a personal and intimate faith for the individual humans. In the second case, no matter how we call the big One. :)

Also the emergence of Zoroastrianism, which preached that there is only one god, and the Hinduism there are many godly aspects behind one godly force.

@@KimKhan lol in Upanishads it clearly mentioned there is one god who is Brahma and gods are human manifestation.

Indeed the Indo-Aryan family, e.g. in Iran : A daeva (Avestan: 𐬛𐬀𐬉𐬎𐬎𐬀 daēuua, Sanskrit: देव deva) is a Zoroastrian supernatural entity with disagreeable characteristics. In the Gathas, the oldest texts of the Zoroastrian canon, the daevas are "gods that are (to be) rejected". This meaning is - subject to interpretation - perhaps also evident in the Old Persian "daiva inscription" of the 5th century BCE. In the Younger Avesta, the daevas are divinities that promote chaos and disorder. In later tradition and folklore, the dēws (Zoroastrian Middle Persian; New Persian divs) are personifications of every imaginable evil. Daeva, the Iranian language term, shares the same origin of "Deva" of Indian mythology, later incorporated into Indian religions.

@@AbdulSamad-jw6xq asura doesn't mean demon in vedic language in Rigveda all the devas such as Agni, Soma, Rudra, Maruts Varuṇa, Mitra, Indra, Parjanya and even the radiant Savitar who hence has the epithet of Deva attached to him always, are addressed as Asura in Rigveda.

Indirect references : In 10.67, Aṅgirases praising Indra/Bṛhaspati are called asurasya vīrāḥ, the heroes of Asura, where Asura would imply Indra. In 10.92, Rudra and Maruts, on context of their relation with Indra, are said to be asurasya nīḷayaḥ - the nests of Asura, the Asura again referring to Indra. Similar indirect reference is there while describing Maruts as asurasya vīrāḥ in 1.122.1. This Asura would be Indra. In the famous 10.177.1, the Asura’s māyā by which the golden bird is seen by the discerning sages with heart and mind, is referring to Indra’s māyā, or the “thread of Agni”. Reference to Indra’s asuratva (असुरत्व) In all of the two mentions outside 3.55 that speaks about asuratvam, in 10.55.4 and 10.99.2, it is about Indra’s asuratva (असुरत्व) that is praised!

@@abhinavchauhan7864 In fact, the word asura meant something like leader.

@@srikrishnak196 The word "asura" is actually derived as "asu-ra" In the Vedic language, "ra" is the personification or specialising element from PIE ros, and occurs as suffix in names, which endorse a particular quality, like Indra, Rudra, Mitra, Vrtra, and much more. For example, take Indra. The first part contains the root which means "to grow", "life" etc; perhaps similar to the reconstructed Proto Indo European *(h)eid - to swell. The same root is responsible for indu, (Vedic soma elixir), which is said in Vedas to create life and immortality and waxen its consumers in strength and might. Also Rudra derives from "rud" meaning to cry or roar. (think of rodana, "cry") Thus, asura derives from "asu". "asu" means life breath, life or the spirit. Thus, no wonder it comes as an ancient word for the sustainer God in Vedas. Rig Veda uses the original word for God, especially for its dearest Indra, Agni, and Varuna. Also, it takes the spiritual quality and life providing quality of all the Gods as "asuratva" (quality of asura). A famous refrain from a Rig Vedic sukta for end of each stanza, states : "mahat devAnAm asuratvam ekam" "Great is the one nature of spirit of the devas" It should be noted that "asuras" applied to the highest Gods suggests that there was no duality between deva or asura. Of course, asura also had a wider applicability for all mighty spirits, including the undesirable Vrtra. Still, the word was not limited to "demons". It is interesting that Rig Veda has no words specifically for demons.

​@@kartikpoojari22 correct, and the second closest languages to Sanskrit after Lithuanian is Serbian/Croatian. I spoke with Sanskrit teacher and he told me that. I can't remember the rest in the list. He also told me that's because Lithuanians and Slavs were part of Skitians and Sarmatians, they are direct successors.

Most Latvians and Lithuanians don't even understand how ancient and epic our languages are. Is there even enough research about our history.

Indian civilization is very ancient and science and tech, mathematics, astronomy, ayurveda, ship building, making clothes of cotton, muslin, chintz, and silk sarees. All started here. Even the modern toilets came from indus, and also the sampoo🙂.

The local people had preserved them so it indicated that they were held in importance, as a symbol of their friendship with the North Africans that came with Hannibal..
