Asura (Sanskrit: असुर) preside over moral and social phenomena. Bhargava believes that, in most of the ancient hymns, the word, asura, is always used as an adjective meaning "powerful" or "mighty". In the Rigveda, two generous kings, as well as some priests, have been described as asuras. One hymn requests a son who is an asura. In nine hymns, Indra is described as asura. Five times, he is said to possess asurya, and once he is said to possess asuratva. Agni has total of 12 asura descriptions, Varuna has 10, Mitra has eight, and Rudra has six. Bhargava gives a count of the word usage for every Vedic deity. Among the asuras are Varuna, the guardian of Rta, and Aryaman, the patron of marriages.
In later texts, such as the Puranas and the Itihasas, the devas are the good beings, and the asuras are the bad ones. According to the Bhagavad Gita (16.6), all beings in the universe assume either the divine qualities (daivi sampad) or the material qualities (asuri sampad). The sixteenth chapter of the Bhagavad Gita describes the divine qualities briefly and the materialistic qualities at length. In summary, the Gita (16.4) says that the asuric qualities are pride, arrogance, conceit, anger, harshness, and ignorance.
In Buddhist cosmology: Asura (Tib: lha ma yin; Jpn: 阿修羅 Ashura) – The world of the Asuras is the space at the foot of Mount Sumeru, much of which is a deep ocean. It is not the Asuras' original home, but the place they found themselves after they were hurled, drunken, from Trāyastriṃśa where they had formerly lived. The Asuras are always fighting to regain their lost kingdom on the top of Mount Sumeru, but are unable to break the guard of the Four Great Kings. The Asuras are divided into many groups, and have no single ruler, but among their leaders are Vemacitrin (Pāli: Vepacitti) and Rāhu.
I actually think about turning it into bigger project that will follow
Tao, and will put my mindset together. I need to confront nature of
Linux and find my own place within it, not by force, but with natural
process of assimilation to transcend space and time by redressing the
inner balance.
This repo is born in wrath, and its task is to redress the inner
balance and regain harmony from arch install stage to setting up
working framework. It's automation tool to keep all procedures
organized - to prevent from repeating oneself every single time.
Build script is created to work with latest arch linux iso release, on
every architecture. For now, by default, it installs gnome
and
awesome-gnome
from official arch repositories. It'll also contain
few packages of recommended utilities. I've implemented few functions
from AUI script for network setup and also bootloader installation
with configuration.
Asura dynamic install script is in testing stage. It don't have any structure but that issue will be fixed later - for now - making it work have highest priority.
There are few shared, common functions, script to install choosen DE,
and configuration file INSTALL
which will be used to run script with
pre-defined variables - flags. Working on build script.
