Guest guest Posted October 10, 1999 Report Share Posted October 10, 1999 > Dear Luis > Gana means temperament and kuta means compatibility so this is a measure > of how compatible the bride and groom are by temperament. Astrologically > three types of temperament are recognized based on moon constellation. > > Deva : roughly equal to goodness;piety ,charitable > Manusya :roughly equal to passion > Rakshasha :roughly equal to ignorance : self-will,dominance,violence In the material scale, rakshasas are more powerful than manushyas (humans). Also their qualities as you have described: self-will, dominance, violence are indicative of the influence of the mode of passion. So I humbly submit that if the modes are to be assigned to the ganas, then rakshasas are more befitting the mode of passion and consequently manushyas the mode of ignorance.
