Raumasa

The term "Raumasa" is derived from Sanskrit. It is likely a compound or variation related to "Romasa" (रोमाञ्च) which signifies "hair" or "bristling of hair," and by extension, something emerging from the body. The concept of beings originating from divine pores connects to ancient ideas of spontaneous generation or emanations.

A class of devas (gods) said to liavc originated from the pores of Verabhadra's skin. An allusion to the pre-Ad<imic race called the "sweat-born". (Secret Doctrine, Vol. II.) Ravail. The true name of the founder of modern Spiritism in France, who is better known under the pseudonym of Allan Kardec. Ravana (8h.). The King:-Demon (the Rakshasas), the Sovereign of Lanka (Ceylon), who carried away Sita, Rama's wife, which led to the great Avar described in the Eamdi/ana.

The Raumasa, as described by Blavatsky, invite us to consider creation not merely as a deliberate act, but as a kind of cosmic efflorescence. The notion of beings originating from the pores of a deity like Virabhadra, a fierce manifestation of Shiva, evokes a visceral image of existence as an emanation, akin to sweat or breath. This resonates with ancient ideas of spontaneous generation found in various traditions, where life can arise from non-obvious sources. Mircea Eliade, in his studies of archaic cosmologies, often highlighted the significance of primal beings and the cyclical nature of creation and dissolution. The "sweat-born" designation, a reference to a pre-Adamic race, suggests a lineage that predates the familiar human narrative, existing in a primordial state where the boundaries between divine and manifest are blurred. It speaks to a time when the very fabric of reality might have been more fluid, more directly a product of divine vitality. This concept challenges our modern, often mechanistic, understanding of origins, urging us to contemplate the possibility of existence as a continuous, dynamic outpouring from the divine essence, a cosmic exhalation that continuously seeds new forms. It is a reminder that the most profound origins may lie not in deliberate design, but in the very pores of being.
