Talk:Jav, Prav and Nav
There's a general misunderstanding in this article. Prav, Yav and Nav are three parallel worlds - one of gods (the good-natured), one of living creatures and one of spirits and evil gods. In this context, Prav and Nav are accepted as two opposites and Yav is the ballance, the transition between them.
But the Divine law was set by the ancestor god Rod when he created the Universe. And this divine law, a "corpus" of universal principles is called Pravda. Which in Old Slavic and in most modern Slavic languages means just, justice, right.
So, Prav and Pravda are two very different things. I think it might be good if we fix that. 217.10.246.155 11:39, 15 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Not Prav and Nav are opposites, but rather Yav and Nav. Prav is the Pravda (Truth) in them.
Yav -- world of living
Nav -- world of dead
Prav -- keeps them both from being all chaotic.

[edit] Indian herb
I believe jav is also the name of an herb used in North India, which looks like unhulled wheat and is used in puja ceremonies. I've just seen a package of it in an Indian grocery store today. Can someone add more about this? Badagnani 03:34, 21 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] well,
i personally believe that this article cites way too many references to actual sources and that there should be more bias
[edit]
There are originally 3 realms (Mir). 1. one is the lowest; NAV' or world of the dead (those who do not incarnate over Zhiva (Shiva) - "life" (and destruction manifestation of Vishji - "the one who is high" = Vishnu )anymore. (those who are gone and do not exist any more; The Old ones; extincted animals, like Dinosaurs - those who do not have their DNA in Yav' anymore and have no descendants) The one who comes from NAV is Navin (dark, spiritual world, astral, hell)= identical with Biblical Nephilim (ph is f or v)...
Jav is material, visible, here and now - verb "po-Javit se "(to appear, to come into the visible...) From Jav comes "Jah" (Jahaveh), as "forbidden name of god" (from somebody else...) Slav' (glorious; from that comes term "Slavic") is the realm which is higher. It is temporarily realm; which is higher than material; only over Slav' you can appear into Jav' as human or Prav' as new god over Zhiva (Shiva) - "alive" ) Prav' (fair, right, the highest world of gods who were incarnated from Jav over Slav) Nav is the eternal hell, also called Mir Navi or Mir-Vani (peace outside - from which comes Nir-vana (peace outside) ) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 178.58.230.124 (talk) 16:34, 1 February 2011 (UTC)
