An asura is characterized as an individual who personifies traits such as narcissism, coercive control and lack of empathy. This being seeks the destruction of the sacred, using deceptive tactics to dominate and manipulate others, feeding on their suffering and weakness. In vaishnava philosophy, such behavior is seen as a challenge to the principles of dharma and harmony, throwing a shadow on the spiritual progress of humanity. He likes to present himself as spiritual authority, which is how he best fulfils his purpose, camouflaged and deforming everything pure with his actions.Does he remind you of someone?
