Ai siis vaata on vata. Näitä ayarveda -juttuja. Voiko joku tosiaan löytää itsensä noista kolmesta tyypistä? Minusta se on ihan mahdotonta.
Kaikki ihmiset tietysti "koostuvat" noista kolmesta doSasta (dooshasta, "toosasta"), mutta jos
jokin niistä on selvästi muita hallitsevampi, puhutaan esim. vaata-, pitta- tai kapha-tyypistä.
noiden kolmen lisäksi taitaa olla ainakin vaata-pitta, pitta-kapha ja vaata-pitta-kapha, joka
on tavallaan kai "paras" tyyppi siinä mielessä, että mikään doSa ei mene helposti "överiksi".
Tuosta en ole kuitenkaan likikään varma.
Jos kiinnostaa, kannattaa lukea Tilak'in opus. Se löytynee kokonaisuudessaan netistä.
http://www.vaidilute.com/books/tilak/tilak-contents.htmlThe Ṛig-Veda, we have seen, does not contain distinct references to a day and a night of six months’ duration though the deficiency is more than made up by parallel passages from the Iranian scriptures. But in the case of the dawn, the long continuous dawn with its revolving splendors, which is the special characteristic of the North Pole, there is fortunately no such difficulty. Uṣhas, or the Goddess of Dawn, is an important and favorite Vedic deity and is celebrated in about twenty hymns of the Ṛig-Veda and mentioned more than three hundred times, sometimes in the singular and sometimes in the plural. These hymns, accordingPätkä persialaisten Vendidad-opuksesta, joka kuvannee heidän heimonsa tai minkä lie ensimmäisiä asuinsijoja,

3. The first of the good lands and countries, which I, Ahura Mazda, created, was the Airyana Vaêjo, by the good river Dâitya.
Thereupon came Angra Mainyu, who is all death, and he counter-created by his witchcraft the serpent in the river and winter, a work of the Daêvas.

6. The Airyana Vaêjo of the good creation.
7. Then Angra Mainyus, who is full of death, created an opposition to the same;
8. A great serpent and Winter, which the Daêvas have created.
