The four functions of Mind are Manas, Buddhi, Chitha and Ahamkara.



Manas is the processing Mind

Chitha is the storage of impressions in the Subconscient

Buddhi is the intellect

Ahamkara is the Ego

In Astrology, Manas is ruled by the Moon

Chitha by by Venus

Budhhi by Mercury and Jupiter

& Ahamkara by Mars, Sun and Saturn

The ten heads of Ego (Ravana) symbolically are

Kama - Lust

Krodha - Anger

Mada - Pride

Moha - Avarice

Matsarya - Jealousy

Raga - Attachment

Manas - Processing Mind

Buddhi - Intellect

Chitha - Subconcious Mind

Ahamkara - Ego

We have to remove the ten heads of the Ego to attain to Self Actualisation.

The Self is Bliss Absolute ( Ananda ), Absolute and Infinite ( Poorna ) &

Non-dual ( Advaya )
