Mana Questions and Answers
What is Mana? - answer Mana is a form of a spiritual energy and also healing power
which can exist in places, objects and persons.

Is mana only an important part of ancient Hawaiian culture? Is it central to Modern
Hawaiian beliefs? - answer No, In traditional Hawaii, there are two paths to mana
which is the god Ku with all the violence and god Lono with sexual relationships. Mana
in hawaiian culture is a popular topic in everyday talk. In modern society , mana paths
are still repeated except for the path of Ku. Another path was practiced by Alii Nuis and
Mois which is called the Ni'aupi'o relationship.

Is Mana and language separate, where one has nothing to do with the other? - answer
Mana and language is not separate, they both have a relation to each other and they
actually do have something to do with one another. Mana can mean many different
things and has different characteristics. Mana has definitions like supernatural power,
divine power, or magical, etc. and it deals with language because there is still no root
definition that anyone can conclude to what it really means.

What are the connections that exist between Mana and language? - answer The
connections that exist between mana and language is that it was used not only from
Hawaiian people but other cultures too. It had a different meaning and the word mana
could not be figured out to be one single language with a single definition, it has many
meanings.

"To my mind the proper understanding of the general notion can only emerge out of a
careful consideration of particular usages such as are here recorded, and I would add
that for our final appreciation of this general notion, if it exists, particular factual details
may be irrelevant." - answer -the idea of mana is a careful thought, but if it exists
then the people's thoughts or facts about mana still may not be related to Hawaiian
mana

In defining the meaning of the term I present material of three kinds: formulations
obtained from men with whom I was specifically discussing the term, and to whom I put
questions about it; citation of ritual formula in which the term mana appeared
incidentally as a standardized item in another context; - answer Mana is still hard to
define for people, many discussions and many questions about the word mana. The
question is always asked "what is mana?" But no will never know because nobody
knows about the past of Hawaiian culture
