HOUSE OF INDOLOGY

Roles of Demons and Demonology

  • Demons are an integral part of society in general and Hinduism in particular. The Principle of Complementarity emphasizes that both devas and demons must coexist.
  • The Western perspective holds that God creates demons against His will, whereas Hinduism considers that God creates demons willingly and out of necessity.
  • This book vividly illustrates the various types of demons—both external and internal—why and how they were created, and why and how they had to be eliminated.
  • The book provides a detailed classification of different demons, exploring their sources, origins, and distinctions, as well as their various abodes and the celestial wars between devas and demons.
  • Additionally, the book discusses demons eliminated by Ganesh, Indra, and others while explaining the Kalpa-bheda hypothesis.
  • It highlights the roles of demons within Hinduism and beyond, examines gods (devas) and demons in their microcosmic aspects, and explores the three stages of alignment between devas, demons, and humans.
