Rakshasa Gana: Its Meaning, Characteristics, & Effects on Marriage

Rakshasa Gana might sound scary. However, in astrology, it refers to individuals who are strong-willed, short-tempered, independent, and intense. These people tend to seek power, control, and authority. Often, they are jealous, stubborn, and rebellious.

Such people cherish their freedom and independence. You despise rules and societal pressures.

You crave adventure and thrills. But people can be intimidated by your intense and imposing personality. In relationships, you look for someone who is in sync with your energy and challenges you intellectually. It needs to be someone who gives you ample space and also keeps you grounded. Your intense nature can cause problems in marriage, especially if your Gana does not match that of your partner.

Understanding Rakshasa Gana

In Vedic astrology, there are 3 Ganas—Deva (Divine), Manushya (Human), and Rakshasa (Demonic). The Gana you belong to depends on your Nakshatra (birth star). Deva Gana people are gentle, pious, religious, and virtuous. Manushya Gana people are hardworking, practical, and ambitious. They seek success and status, and engage in worldly pursuits.

Rakshasa Gana people are fierce, independent, passionate, and domineering. They are often misunderstood by others.

Ganas are important in Kundli Matching when assessing Ashtakoot compatibility, which examines various astrological factors to determine the success of a marriage alliance.

Characteristics of Rakshasa Gana People

People who have Rakshasa Gana have the following traits:

• Strong-willed: They want to have their own way always.
• Independent: They jealously guard their independence, and get angry if others try to control them.
• Intelligent: They are very intelligent and have the drive to excel and lead.
• Strategic: Their analytical minds make them good at strategizing and problem-solving.
• Dominating and Assertive: They tend to dominate others and prefer leadership roles.
• Passionate: They are emotionally intense. Whether it’s love, anger, or ambition, they feel everything strongly.
• Rebellious and Non-conformist: They can flout traditions and choose unconventional paths.
• Secretive: They keep their true thoughts and emotions under wraps.
• Materialistic: Rakshas Gana people are materialistic and seek wealth, power, and status.
• Aggressive: Conflicts do not scare them. They are bold enough to stand up for themselves.
• Confident: They are bold and confident. They have the ability to lead.

Rakshasa Gana’s Impact on Marriage

In Kundli Matching, the compatibility of Ganas is important. If one partner belongs to the Rakshasa Gana and the other to the Deva or Manushya Gana, there can be problems in the marriage due to personality clashes. On the other hand, a marriage between two Rakshasa Gana natives may be successful as they share similar personalities.

Rakshasa Gana’s Compatibility with Other Ganas

Rakshasa Gana and Deva Gana: Both are poles apart. The former is domineering, aggressive, and egoistic. The latter is humble, pure, and kind. Conflicts are possible due to differences in their personalities. There can be arguments and power struggles. It will be difficult to compromise and adjust. So, this union can cause Gana Dosha.

Rakshasa Gana and Manushya Gana: These two groups may share some traits, such as assertiveness, ambition, and practicality. However, the Manushya Gana places importance on relationships, ethics, and community.

This combination might succeed with a little effort and understanding. The Manushya partner will be able to soften the Rakshasa partner’s rough edges.

Rakshasa Gana and Rakshasa Gana: This can be a power couple! If there is mutual respect, they will have a passionate and happy relationship.

Gana Dosha can be resolved by performing astrological remedies and through mutual understanding. Compatibility should take into account not only Gana but also planetary positions, Navamsa chart, and other factors in the birth chart.

The North Indian Kundli matching system has a concept called Gana koota. It rates Gana matches out of 6. It is called Gunank (score).

Deva Gana and Rakshasa Gana have a Gunank or score of 1 out of 6, a very low score for marriage.

Rakshasa Gana and a Manushya Gana have a score of 0. So these combinations should be avoided.

However, two people with Rakshasa Gana will have a Gunank of 6, which makes them compatible.

Rakshasa Gana Dosha in Marriage

Rakshasa Gana Dosha can have the following effects:

• Natives will be control freaks. There will be many arguments due to their domineering nature.
• The native will be selfish and egocentric.
• The native may be jealous and possessive toward their partner.
• The native will be aggressive in their speech. They may talk in a hurtful manner and abuse their partner physically.

Remedies for Rakshasa Gana

1. Prayers and Mantras

Chanting certain Mantras can nullify negative energies and balance the Rakshasa Gana. Recite the Navagraha Mantra daily, particularly on Saturdays.

Also, chant the Shani Mantra (“Om Sham Shanaishcharaye Namah”) and the Hanuman Mantra (“Om Namo Bhagavate Aanjaneyaya”) on Saturdays.

Acts of Charity

Make donations and perform acts of charity. Volunteer your time for good causes. Performing kind acts balances the materialistic and aggressive nature of the Rakshasa Gana.

Fasting

Observe fasts, especially on Saturdays. This can reduce the negative effects of Rakshasa Gana. Observe fast from sunrise to sunset and have just one meal of black sesame seeds, rice, and ghee.
