Yama (Hinduism)
Yama (), also known as Kāla and Dharmarāja, is the Hindu god of death and justice, responsible for the dispensation of law and punishment of sinners in his abode, Naraka. He is often identified with Dharmadeva, the personification of ''Dharma'', though the two deities have different origins and myths. In Vedic tradition, Yama was considered the first mortal who died and espied the way to the celestial abodes; as a result, he became the ruler of the departed. His role, characteristics, and abode have been expounded in texts such as the ''Upanishads'', the ''Ramayana'', the '' Mahabharata'', and the ''Puranas''. Yama is described as the twin of the goddess Yami, and the son of the god Surya (sun) (in earlier traditions Vivasvat) and Sanjna.

Yama is one of the Lokapalas (guardians of the realms), appointed as ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

His origins and role in the cosmic cycle are detailed in various ancient texts, including the ''Mahābhārata'' and '' Bhāgavata Purāṇa''. According to the ''Mahābhārata'', Kali is a sinister deva-gandharva, born as the fifteenth son of the proginator sage Kashyapa and Muni. As the lord of the Kaliyuga, Kali exerts his influence by promoting sinful acts, confined by King Parikshit to five domains: gambling, drinking, prostitution, murder, and gold. His narrative intertwines with figures like Nala, whom he possessed and tormented, and Duryodhana, considered his incarnation in the ''Mahābhārata''. Later Puranic texts reinterpret his origins, making him more fearsome and powerful, as well as associating him with personifications of m ...
