RITA
Basic Description: Literally refers to the divine order. Also termed as moral order, cosmic order, or cosmic law. Humans are not the only ones who are subordinate to Rita; the gods are as well. They are said to be its guardians. There are three aspects of Rita: Satya (truth), Tapas (heat, passion), and Yagna (ritual offerings). Satya gives good conduct the power to produce results.
