      A rasta or rastafarian is someone who follows the religion of Rastafarianism.
      There are some poser rastas, that only call themselves rastas, so that they can dread their hair and smoke weed.
      The smoking of weed is considered a way of speaking to their god, Jah. Rastafarians do read and follow the bible, and they helped shape Jamaicas people nowadays.

        The Rastafarian religion originated in Africa. It is often associated with the poorer black population of Jamaica. It is not just a religion, but a way of life. Rastafarians speak out against; poverty, oppression and inequality.....not just religious ideas but global problems. Rastafarians will use the Bible for guidence, although it is interpreted through black eyes.

          A person who lives for Jah, and praises him with his/Her every might.
          They use the bible, but dont really look into the Jesus part of it.
          They might have dread locks.
          And most use weed to connect to Jah in a new way, and see stuff in a diffrent light.

              Rasta means freedom in some special countries such as Iran. Rasta is usually used for girls. This people fall in love easily but they will try their best to act like they are heartless. People with name Rasta are extremely sensitive but they will try their best to act like nothing is wrong. People with name Rasta know how to make people laugh. They only bad thing about this name is that they could be stubborn sometimes. The sad thing about this name is that they care too much for the people they care. They will always protect their loved ones no matter what. If you see someone with the name Rasta being mean to you, is because they are trying to defend themselves due to bad memories.
