Скачать или смотреть Triguns Concept of Holistic Health according to Yog Sutra by Dr Rachana Jain 22 12 25

In yoga philosophy, Triguna refers to the three fundamental qualities of nature—Sattva (purity, harmony, balance), Rajas (activity, passion, restlessness), and Tamas (inertia, darkness, ignorance)—that constitute everything in the universe, including human beings, shaping our experiences, personality, and spiritual growth, with the goal of yoga being to balance these forces and cultivate Sattva for higher consciousness.
The Three Gunas
Sattva (Purity/Harmony): Represents light, wisdom, clarity, joy, balance, and peace; it's the most desirable state for spiritual progress.
Rajas (Activity/Passion): The force behind action, ambition, desire, and restlessness; it drives movement but can lead to attachment and suffering.
Tamas (Inertia/Ignorance): Characterized by dullness, laziness, confusion, and attachment; it's the force of resistance and darkness.
Role in Yoga & Life
Universal Principle: These gunas are the building blocks of Prakriti (nature) and are present in varying proportions in all living and non-living things.
Psychological Makeup: They determine our mental, emotional, and physical states; a predominance of Rajas leads to overactivity, while Tamas brings lethargy, and Sattva brings calm.
Spiritual Goal: Yogic practice aims to reduce Rajas and Tamas, transmuting them into Sattva, creating a clear, calm mind (Antahkarana) essential for self-knowledge and higher awareness.
Guidance for Practice: Understanding the trigunas helps tailor practices; for example, meditation enhances Sattva, while balancing vigorous asanas (Rajas) with restorative poses (Tamas) brings equilibrium.
