Natural Aspects

The following aspects are natural.  Means, these are possessed by few people by birth; by instinct, but not by any kind of practice or exercise.

The natural aspects are listed in column no.1.  

Their meaning is given in column no.2.  

A person from the Ramayana/the Mahabharata who possessed such aspect naturally is mentioned in column no.3.  

In fact, the table is made just to have a brief understanding of those aspects.  That is why many many great people are not mentioned in detail in the third column.

All the credits are due to our Guruji, Prof. Rani Sadasiva Murty, who listed out these Natural Aspects.
