	Yakshagana
		The Yaksha Gana can be taken to be the common name of an old type of traditional, popular vernacular drama of South India, a name common to the three linguistic areas of Tamil, Telugu and Kannada and absent only in Malayalam.
		Yaksha Gana is full of this dance, and is worth study at least for this.
		The Yaksha Gana is certainly of interest and value not only to the theoretical researcher trying to understand the various forms of indigenous Indian dance and drama but also to the practical reconstructor who is trying to rebuild out of the many survivals the glory that was ‘Bharata Natya’.

	Yaksha - Shadownessence
		The Yaksha are a class of generally benevolent nature spirits who are the custodians of treasures that are hidden in the earth and in the roots of trees.
		The Yaksha are nowhere near as proud nor as mischievous as the Kubera.
		Their worship, together with the cult of the Yaksha itself, coexisted with the priest-conducted sacrifices of the Vedic period, and continued to flourish during the Kusana period.

	Putting The Ocean in a Bowl - The Origin of the Buddha Image
		Yaksha Figure from Patna: 2nd century B.C. The theory that the Buddha, in tune with the monotheistic and iconoclastic trends, which dominated the concurrent world, forbade making of his image, has hardly any substance.
		Upala was one of the Yaksha related epithets of high honor.
		Yakshas and Nagas seem to have so much dominated the scene that all sects, including Buddhism, Jainism and Upanishadas, which initially practised idol-less worship, thought it better to conciliate with them.

		Interestingly, sculptural representations of the Yaksha group of deities usually had a group of seven Mother goddesses flanked by Ganapati and Kubera on either wing.
		What is interesting about this Yaksha group is that once you have these Yantras, you have more or less covered all the major concerns of life.

		The Yaksha's separation from his beloved was brought upon by himself, due to dereliction of duty, resulting in a curse by his master, Kubera, banishing him from homeland for one year.
		Kalidasa, of course, tries to explain away the Yaksha's choice of an inanimate object (cloud) as a messenger, by observing that the separated lover, in a pitiable condition, is hardly in a position to distinguish between animate and inanimate objects.
		Kalidasa brings his kavya to an abrupt end, with the completion of the Yaksha's message to the cloud, without elaborating on whether the messenger duly conveyed the message and whether the couple were re-united.

		The story of the Yaksha's appearance is to illustrate the quelling of pride.
		It is Uma that instructs Indra about the Yaksha in the state of Sattva, the ego is cleansed of all pride and it comes to know of the nature of the Divine.
		It is also to be noted that the Yaksha appears only after that victory of the gods over the Asuras, which means that knowledge is possible only after the victory of virtue over vice, i.e., when the animal propensities are completely subjugated.

		Kalidasa writes of a certain, "Kashchit", Yaksha and does not name him, because it does not matter who this Yaksha is and what he is called.
		This particular Yaksha committed a mistake, (again Kalidasa does not explain what mistake he committed because it is not important to know that), and so was cursed and banished for a year by his master, "Bhartru", Kubera.
		The Yaksha spends this period of exile in the hermitages on the mountain Ramagiri.

		Instead of saying, "Yaksha stiffens under Axel's gaze,' it can be 'Yaksha stiffens as he feels a gaze upon him.' And you should be able to see him since he is on the edge of the roof.

		To our delight, Yaksha recovered completely and was able to be recertified as a police service dog….Perhaps it was the work of the surgeons that enabled Yaksha to walk again but more likely it was the fierce determination of these two partners working together day after day that made a “miracle” happen.
