rajas

It was flush with natural resources, grains and wealth accumulated by the Rajas and Indian Kings who ruled before.

The predominance of other gunas may be observed by looking at the nature of activities during other times (6am-6pm = rajas), (6pm - 4am = tamas).

Won't all Rajas expertise be tied up in that?

- Vedic to pre-Islamic era - get oppressed by rajas and brahmins based on caste.

Other times I'd get Tacos Rajas from La Super Rica.

A weird flex Indian Rajas were said to have done is to release a horse and then follow it, offering to fight anyone they met upon the resulting (not so random) walk.

And at the Raj Mahals (Palaces of the Kings) of the Mysore State there was indeed a display of photographs, pictures of Tiger kills by not just the Rajas but also by visiting dignitaries.

The current boundaries of Goa were only extended later when the Rajas agreed to merge with Portuguese during Maratha civil war period on 1790s, however the Hindu elites retained most of the autonomy like the Visconde of Pernem.

Charity in Hinduism falls under 3 modes, as with pretty much everything else in Hinduism - Tamas, Rajas & Sattva Tamas - given at wrong place/time, to wrong (unworthy) person, without respect/decency, with contempt.

For quite sometime the East India company was working as a mercenary making deals with smaller kingdoms, the concentration of wealth from exports to Europe did give them the resources to initially run trading ports and eventually become the force behind the famed puppet rajas, often children.

In Indian metaphysics, this state of mind is called "rajas", which arises from a mind frenzied by self centred desires.

Hindu philosophy is the template for a way of life and the key theme that is most common and recurring is the Sattva-Rajas-Tamas Gunas.

I have an amazing book on playing Rajas.

Rajas - given with reluctance, expecting return (either from recipient, or praise) Sattva - given at right time/place, to right (worthy) person, with humility, without expectation of return.
