Vijjacharana sampana guna3/11/2023 ![]() ![]() The three gunas are described as being constantly influx and interacting with one another, in a playful state referred to as maya or illusion. The three gunas were created as an essential component of Sankhya philosophy but the gunas are now a major concept in most schools of Indian philosophy. Guna is a Sanskrit word which translates as “quality, peculiarity, attribute, or tendency.” In yoga and Ayurveda, a guna is a tattva or element of reality that can affect our psychological, emotional and energetic states. The awareness and conscious manipulation of the three gunas are a powerful way to reduce stress, increase inner peace and lead one towards enlightenment. These three gunas are tamas (darkness & chaos), rajas (activity & passion), and sattva (beingness & harmony). From this ethereal Prakriti the three primary gunas (qualities of energy) emerge creating the essential aspects of all nature-energy, matter, and consciousness. In the philosophy of Yoga, all matter in the universe arises from the fundamental substrate called Prakriti.
