Guest guest Posted March 22, 2004 Report Share Posted March 22, 2004 Haribol, I need the answer from somebody who knows a lot about Vedas - Rakshasas are a big part of the Mahabharata. What exactly are they? Atheists? Demons? Monsters? What is the actual meaning of a Rakshasa. I thought they were all evil, but actually a lot of them in Mahabharata help out the Pandavas in their quest for the Kingdom... So my main qn is are Rakshasas lower or higher than Humans? Do Rakshasas exist nowadays, and if they do, how would one define them? Hare Krishna Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 23, 2004 Report Share Posted March 23, 2004 What exactly are they? Atheists? Demons? Monsters? all together but actually a lot of them in Mahabharata help out the Pandavas in their quest for the Kingdom... because also a raksasa can be saved by devotee's mercy So my main qn is are Rakshasas lower or higher than Humans? more intellectual and phisical abilities Do Rakshasas exist nowadays, raksasa exist as phisical race, for example in other planets, and as mentality present also in humans and if they do, how would one define them? read bhagavad gita chapter 16 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
