    Gana Kuta or "Temperment"

    Uploaded by

    Darshan Manjappa
    This document discusses the concept of Gana Kuta in Vedic astrology, which is used to determine compatibility between partners. It describes the three mythical temperaments - Deva, Manusha, and Rakshasa. Devas are conservative and traditional, while Rakshasas are independent and unconventional. A system is used to assign points based on whether the partners' temperaments match. The more similar the temperaments, the easier the relationship and less chance partners try to change each other.

    Gana Kuta or Temperment

    This is just one piece of a larger system used by Vedic Astrologers to


    determine compatibility between partners. I refer to the Ganas frequently
    because they're so useful in communication, i.e., understanding where
    people are coming from. My moon is in Mula, which makes me
    Rakshasa Gana. The technique used to determine the affinity of two
    peoples temperaments is known as Gana Kuta. Gana means race and
    determines a persons temperament based on the symbolism of three
    mythological races:

    1. Deva
    2. Manusha
    3. Rakshasa

    Devas are conservative, appropriate, traditional (e.g., value marriage),


    faithful, open, loyal and devoted. They tend to avoid confrontation, color
    within the lines, and be politically correct. They can be very giving
    towards relationships and very relationship-oriented. They include the
    Nakshatras: Aswini, Mrigashira, Punurvasu, Pushya, Hasta, Swati,
    Anuradha, Shravana and Revati. Manushas are practical and can be
    more innovative and progressive than Devas yet are still somewhat
    conservative. They include the nakshatras: Bharani, Rohini, Ardra,
    Purvaphalguni, Uttaraphalguni, Purvaashada, Uttaraashada,
    Purvabhadrapada and Uttarabhadrapada. Rakshasas are independent,
    innovative, creative, unconventional, eccentric and capable of breaking
    attachments and conventions. They're willing to break the rules, live out
    loud, rock the boat, buck the system, march to the beat of their own
    drummer and go their own way. In relationships they make it up as they
    go. They'd rather live authentically than in harmony. They won't
    necessarily behave the way society expects them to, they do what feels
    true to them. They will seek truth even if it upsets others. They can
    shock, horrify, embarrass, or just generally make people feel
    uncomfortable, but can also be exciting to be around. They include the
    nakshatras: Krittika, Ashlesha, Magha, Chitra, Vishakha, Jyeshtha,
    Mula, Dhanishta and Shatabisha.

    In relationship, the Nakshatra of the moons of the couple are compared:


    If both the Ganas (races) are the same then 6 points are given. The more
    people are alike, the less they scare and try to change each other.

    Woman Deva and the man Manushya = 3 points.


    Woman Deva and the man Rakshasa = 1 point.
    Woman Manushya and the man Deva = 5 points.
    Woman Manushya and the man Rakshasa = 3 points.

    If the woman is Rakshasa Gana and the man Deva or Manushya Gana
    then 0 points, pairing up with a man with a Deva or Manushya
    Nakshatra is considered to bring troubles.
    According to classical texts, quarreling will prevail and marriage will
    be unhappy. Only a man with his moon in a Rakshasa Nakshatra is
    considered compatible and is able to fully appreciate (and handle) a
    woman with her moon in a Rakshasa Nakshatra.

    According to the classical texts, a high Gana Kuta score keeps the
    couple "ever young, happy and increasing in love for one another."
    When two people share the same temperment, it is easier for them to just
    "get" each other. They will tend to laugh at the same jokes, enjoy the
    same TV shows or movies, and agree on how to decorate. Best of all,
    they will be of comfort to each other in emotional situations and won't
    try to change each other to being more "appropriate" or to "loosen up."
