Quotes:Yaksha

H. P. Blavatsky

Yaksha. A class of demons, who, in popular Indian folk‐lore, devour men. In esoteric science they are simply evil (elemental) influences, who in the sight of seers and clairvoyants descend on men, when open to the reception of such influences, like a fiery comet or a shooting star.
