Firstly new here
But till now I had watched every episode of this show

Brahm Rakshas is actually the spirit of a Brahmin , a dead scholar of
high birth, who has done evil things in his life or has misused
his
knowledge, who has to suffer as a Brahm Rakshas after his or her
death. The earth-bound duties of such a scholar would be to
disappear or impart knowledge to good students. If he did not do so,
he would turn into a Brahma Rakshas after death which is a very
fierce demonic spirit. [3][4] The word Brahm means Brahmin and
Rakshas , a demon. As per ancient Hindu texts they are powerful
demon spirit , who have lot of powers and only few in this world can
fight and over-come them or give them salvation from this form of
life. It would still retain its high level of learning. But it would eat
human beings. [3] They have the knowledge of their past lives and
vedas and puranas. In other words they have qualities of both
Brahmin and Rakshas.
In Hindu legends
It is said that the 7th century Sanskrit poet Mayurbhatta , who
composed the noted Surya Sataka (one hundred verses in praise of
Lord Surya ) was troubled by Brahmarakshasha. He was doing
penance at famous Deo Sun Temple located at Aurangabad district
of Bihar . Brahmarakshas was living in the Peepal tree under which
Mayurbhatta was doing penance and creating the verses. It was
repeating the verses pronounced by Mayurbhatta, disturbing him. In
order to defeat him Mayurbhatta started to pronounce words through
nose. Since Brahmarakshasas or other spirits do not have a nose it
was defeated and left the tree, which immediately turned dry. After
the spirit left Mayurbhatta could peacefully create the hundred
verses in praise of Surya , which cured him of leprosy .[5]
In Stories
Brahma-Rakshas were a regular feature in old Indian stories like
Vikram and Vetala, [6] Panchatantra [7][8] and other old wives tales. [3]
As per these stories, Brahma-Rakshas, were powerful enough also
to grant any boon, money, gold, if they became pleased with any
person. In most of the stories, they are depicted as huge, mean and
fierce looking having two horns on head like a Rakshas and a Choti
like a Brahmin and usually found hanging upside down on a tree.
Also a Brahma Rakshas would sometimes eat human beings in
stories.


Sorry for this long post
I found it on Wikipedia

If they are making remake of Jani Dushman and B&B then why did they name it brahmarakshas
Showing totally wrong info

Hi Ankit. Welcome to the forum.

Since it's a fantasy/Supernatural show, deviating from the truth is acceptable.
There are American shows that use biblical references but than give it twist and deviate from the scripture.
My point, it's a supernatural TV show and I'm okay with deviations and changes.

agree with u...the show could have been named as something else...they call him brahmarakshas and give wrong reasoning of a human spirit possessing an animal is called as brahmarakshas...

consider it as fictitious and enjoy dear frns... dont go deep into reasoning... besides every indian serials lacks logic.. so put your logic,reasoning and realities aside and enjoy it..
so far some of our fantasies are being satisfied..thts itself is a big deal in serials...
