Is there concept of satan in hinduism like christianity,islam and Judaism?
Judaism Main article: Satan In Judaism there is no concept of a devil like in mainstream Christianity or Islam. In Hebrew, the biblical word ha-satan (שָׂטָן) means “the adversary”[2] or the obstacle, or even “the prosecutor” (recognizing that God is viewed as the ultimate Judge).
