Right of Daityas

It is popularly known in the world, especially in Sanatana Dharma, that the Devatas and Daityas both were present in the ‘Samudra Manthan’ in the ‘Ksheersagar’. So in the Himalayas, Daityas also lived in certain places. Then the Devatas came in different parts of Himalayas near Bhagwan Shiva who resides in Kailash Mountains and different snow covered mountains of Himalayas. The Daityas then asked the Devatas that where should they live in the Himalayas. Then the Devatas gave them specific places to live in Himalayas and dedicated a certain time of the year for them. In the ‘Deva Parampara’, there is a certain time period in year, when the Devi-Devatas go into ‘Samadhi’ (meditation) during which the different festivals of Daityas, Bhoot, Preta and Ganas of Bhagwan Shiva are celebrated across the Himalayas where different kinds of mask dance are performed.

This book elaborates the strange, mysterious and harmonious ways of the ‘Deva Dharma’ of Himalayan Siddhas.
