Guest guest Posted August 5, 2002 Report Share Posted August 5, 2002 Dear List I should be very pleased that someone could explain me what he knows about the meaning of : Manusia, Devic and Rakshasa about Nakshatras. It seems infact an important starting point for compatibilities between people. But what i'm wandering is what is the real difference between these three kinds. I have to believe for example thet to be born under a "Manusya" star i'm oriented to human or material goals, instead that if i'm born under a Devic nahkshatra it's more easy to me to understand or reach Divine plane. And Rakshasa what exactly means...to be pushed by "devil" forces ? So that seems apparenctly a plain division sounds again to me a little difficult to penetrate in his real meaning. Fortunately I completely trust in the enlighted minds of this list to which I humbly bow Hare Krishna Om Tat Sat Doriano Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 5, 2002 Report Share Posted August 5, 2002 Daniele, According to Pandit Parsai and other contemporary jyotish writers, the most important criteria for marriage compatibility are: 1. Recognition of Kujadosha in the charts. 2. Quantifying the compatiblity points or kutas, which take into account various areas of life. The areas of concern you're writing about is included in the second criteria. So, it is not the main factor in marriage compatibility. Writers like Swoboda and DeFouw even includes ayurvedic doshas into account in making the chart comparisons. I personally believe that it's better for the couple to like the same type of foods in the household. The adage, about the way to a man's heart is through his stomach, appears to apply here. The subject matter is complicated and it would be better for you to read books relating to compatibility, rather than relying on discussions in this forum.

Guest guest Posted August 5, 2002 Report Share Posted August 5, 2002 Dear Doriano Deva corresponds roughly with Sattva Guna Manushya corresponds roughly with rajas Gunas Rakshasha corresponds with tamas Guna . Basically men and women should be married in the same category . Deva and Manushya is tolerable but rakshasha and manushya is not . Hope this helps Nicholas - Daniele gjlist Monday, August 05, 2002 8:56 PM [GJ] The real meaning....

Guest guest Posted August 6, 2002 Report Share Posted August 6, 2002 Deva Means "god" essentially, but not the Supreme, means "Godly", or "the nature of Gods" and "the Gods". In the same way we say God, Gods, Godly, Godlike, that's all Deva, Devic, Devata, etc. So really yes it's Sattvic, and it implies other things too. The best way to understand these things is to read the Puranas where the Devas, Man(ushyas), and Rocks(hashas) interact. I'm kidding with the parenthesis, kindof. Manushya is the root of the word man so to speak. Manushya means the human level, dependent on Devas, afraid of Rakshashas. Rakshashas means "bad people" or "people who break the laws of God". It's similar to saying "Gentile" in the Bible say, as it's "the others". However, in Hinduism, things are a little more clear cuzz it's older. The Rakshashas are a grouping of non-grouped beings. The Rakshashas are many different groups of peoples, and individuals crazy monsters and so on, so many beings, who were called Rakshashas because "you need to be protected from them". Rakshasha is NOT a compliment. It's an insult. Like when one Guru was told that Westerners drop living lobsters into hot water to cook them, the Guru opened his eyes wide and simply said "Rakasha", (Bengali way of speaking it) So, it's taken that Rakshasha is a "bad thing". When a Nakshatra is in one of these classes, it means that it acts according to the modes and ways of that category, but then also note it's other categories, classifications. Like think of Shiva, he is both Tamasic, in ignorance, as well as Sattvic, a God. He spans both. A Tamo Guna God, you could say. Nrsinghadev is a Raja Guna God. You see? Like my start, it may be "Butcher Caste", but it's got a high aim. So you picture a lower person looking up. Some Nakshatras are higher, and look down. This particular thing, their Guna, relates to what they inspire in the actual flesh. This, the Guna, or "mode", relates to the flesh of the thing, and what proclivities that flesh will have, so you could say, the Guna is the "type of material" used in making the thing. For example, people with all Devic Nakshatras will tend to have cleaner habits than the opposite. I have heavy Rakshashic influences on my lagna and Moon, heavy signs, heavy stars, butcher and such, and indeed, I can be pretty "knarly" as they say in the West now, crude, dirty, doing low work, cussing, etc. My dad was a sailor and I'm Irish. Lost on both accounts ;-) If a woman is very Devic, and the man lower, she will eventually be faultfinding him. That's no good. If man is above and woman below, he will not respect her, and eventually leave. These are most important on Moon and Lagna as usual. The sum total of the planets, houses, signs, and Nakshatras, ultimately decides the final overall Guna of the person. Although I have so called "heavy stars" ruling my Lag/Moon, Ashvini/Satbish, still, I am fairly Devic overall, compared to many Americans, because of what I think and do. On the other hand, I do dirty things, I don't offer food, I drink out of mil containers, slurp from the water faucet in the kitchen, wipe my nose on my sleave, you know, a real slob. So that's one place it shows through, you see, in that I care more about work than finery and so on. -- Das Goravani , President 2852 Willamette St, #353 Eugene, Oregon, 97405 USA Voice: or <> Home of "Goravani Jyotish" Vedic Astrology Software , and more...
