Docta Ignorantia X Yakshi Yaksha The Hindu (Vedic) view of homosexuality is rather specific. There are two types: Yakshi and Yaksha. Yakshi is male in female body. Yaksha is female in male body. Both Yakshi and Yaksha figure prominently in Hindu Scriptures, such as Ramayana and Mahabharata, which includes Gita. Yakshis and Yakshas are not human beings. They are one of several types of sub-human being which populate the earth at all times of history. They are akin to but not identical with Rakshasas, which are demonic beings. During this Kali Yuga, when violence and treachery are taken for 'normal,' both Yakshi/Yaksha and Rakshasa activity are much in evidence. Humanity suffers continuously on account of the activities of these beings. Yakshis and Yakshas practice deception. They change their physical appearance to look like something they are not. They try to convince human beings that they are human beings and should be taken as such. Yakshis and Yakshas are unable to practice sadhana (spiritual discipline). They cannot pursue a spiritual life. The reason is, sadhana is possible only for human beings and Yakshis and Yakshas are not human beings. Although some Yakshis and Yakshas like to act as though they are interested in spirituality -- in order to gain entrance to the company of human beings -- their ultimate concern is unlimited body consciousness, which is the opposite of spirituality. Ram and Kam will not co-exist. Everything 'spiritual' that Yakshis and Yakshas do is counterfeit, phony. It serves a purpose, however, in that it trains human beings to recognize signs of body consciousness. Homosexual behavior alerts human beings to some of the traps that threaten the success of their own sadhana. Generally, birth as a Yakshi or Yaksha is the recoil of thoughtless venality in a previous birth. But this is not always the case. Sometimes, birth as a Yakshi or Yaksha is the result of a curse that an individual incurred from the mouth of a Sage. Like all beings, Yakshis and Yakshas eventually get the chance of birth in human form, which is the only instrument in the universe that can be used to gain Mergence, or, Realization. Ordinary humans cannot see the cause of a Yakshi's or Yaksha's birth in that estate. But such a birth does have signs, and these should be recognized so that the company of an individual who has such a birth may be shunned. Yakshis and Yakshas are interested in bodies, only. This is the sign of their birth. They define themselves as sexual entities. Body consciousness is their only concern. Human beings may become mired in body consciousness, but they will not become captives of it. They will not define themselves in terms of sexuality. The modern argument by homosexuals that they are genetically different from human beings (they say 'other' human beings) is supported by the Vedas. Homosexuals are a sub-human species of being who have an operational profile that counters human interests, which are spiritual.
