Yakshi
are all terms for fictitious female beings that can take on human form and
terrify people. However, they are not actually true.
Yakshi is thought to be a class of otherworldly creatures. Yakshi is described in
the Puranas as companions of Mahalakshmi, the Goddess of Wealth, and the female
form of Yaksha. According to an ancient myth, Yakshis are both the saviours of
individual locations and the saviours of temples. For this reason, Yakshis are
positioned as a deity next to the goddess in the sub-deity notion in old Kerala
goddess temples. Fairy
Some
folks assume that the various living things and supernatural entities found in
our cosmos, which also includes the earth, include gods, asuras, yakshas,
humans, demons, gandharvas, Apsaras, and nagas from the Puranas. Many of these
are claimed to resemble humans in terms of appearance yet possess magical
abilities and superhuman strength. The ruler of the Yakshas is Ravana's older
brother Vaishravana, also known as Kubera. They have great wealth. Nagayakshis
are the female names for Nagas. They are also Keralite idols. The male classes
of yakshas are also referred to as Gandharvas.
It
is believed that everyone who is not human has the capacity to travel to any of
the fourteen worlds, including heaven and hell. Only people who have died can
enter this place! Your require assistance from someone if you wish to
travel safely.many are familiar with the legend of the Yakshis and the
marriage of Shivaparvati.
Mahalakshmi
was in charge of making Goddess Parvati ready for her wedding to Lord Shiva in
the Himalayas, as well as other tasks. The yakshis, who served as the goddess
Lakshmi's attendants, were instructed to go to away places and bring back holy
items. The yakshis who travelled to Kerala stayed there fascinated by the
area's stunning natural surroundings. They were reminded of the goddess's
mandate near to the time of the marriage . They stayed in the goddess shrines
nearby, out of concern that if they were late, Goddess Lakshmi would curse
them. According to a legend, Yakshi Pratishtha is present in the majority of
our temples for this reason.
Some
cultures revere and venerate young ladies who have died at the hands of noble
men, especially pregnant women, as Yakshis. Temples are also present in various
locations. One could argue that those who did not receive justice while they
were living are granted it, once they pass away. Yakshis from television shows
and movies aren't ghosts with their hair pulled back terrorising us like they
did when we were kids. They all have a Goddess Lakshmi counterpart, but not a
Goddess Shakti counterpart. It is really lovely.
The
reason for giving the yakshis a scary look is that some intelligent priests and
temple administrators should have spread the word that there are yakshis in
that area and they will catch people and eat them so that the ornaments and
valuables kept in the temple are not stolen. Anyway, that's it. Some of us
still believe in fairies in this century.
