About trigunas in Ayurveda

Sorting average grades three and means of gunas, as well Trigunas identifies three qualities, which determines the nature, beliefs and perceptions of people .

According to ayurvedic principles three gunas are classified as:

* Satwa
* Rajas
* Tamas

These three gunas - Trigunas - are found in nature as well as the spirit corresponding to the three doshas (vatha, pitha, kapha) from the body. Just as the three doshas in the body are the essential components of the body, the three gunas - Satwa, Rajas, Tamas - the essential components (or energy) of mind, describing the mental state of mind of a person . Ayurveda advocates a description and a unique distinction of persons on the basis of the psychological state (constitution) of their minds Manasa Prakriti. Genetically determined, these psychological characteristics depend on the relative dominance of the three gunas.

While all individuals have the three gunas in various proportions, the three predominant guna determines a mansa Prakriti (constitution of pshychological person mindset), which balances the mind and body, now in a healthy condition. Any disorder in the balance as a result of various types of mental disorders.

Satwa Guna characterized by lightness, conscience, pleasure and lucidity, is pure, free of the disease and can not bend and disturbed in any way. It activates the senses and is responsible for the collection of knowledge.

Rajas Guna which is the most active of gunas, characterized the movement and stimulation. Any wants, desires, aspirations and the erratic-intelligence is a result of the rajas of guna.

Tamas Guna which characterizes the weight and immunity, produces disturbances being perceived (as a thought) and activities of the mind. Habits hallucinations, laziness, apathy, drowsiness and sleepiness are due to him.

The balance of Rajas and Tamas, just like with the doshas can be disturbed by effort, and desires negative vibes as kama (lust), irshya (venom), moha (hallucination), lobha (avarice and greed), chintja (concern and sake), bhaya (fear) and krodha (anger).

Individuals of Satwika (with guna of Satwa) are usually very noble and spiritual in nature, their nature and moods are determined by their body type as well as the positioning of their takes the lead role. They have an element of kapha in their constitutions.


The three gunas - satwa, rajas and tamas - are found in nature and in spirit, highlighting the three doshas parallel body. Satwa, or purity, is the ideal state of mind because a person with that quality is calm, alert, friendly and thoughtful. A person whose mind is principally rajasic (too active) is still seeking deviations (ceaseless activity). The mind-tamas predominant spirit is a dull and lethargic.

Just as combinations of Vayu, Pitha and Kapha exist for the body, the mind has combinations satwa, rajas, and tamas. Individuals whose minds are satwic and rajasic are those studying measures enthusiastically spiritual and holistic improvement. Rajasic-tamasic took care of people and will be actively working to overcome their lethargy.
The balance of the mind and development of purity and peace assist in the development of a spirit satwic. This is the first stage of samadhi or spiritual realisation.
To determine the cause of the disease, the doctor observes, is challenging and takes the pulse of the patient. The study of the cause, or see its incubatory start, developmental, or advanced stages can assist in the arrangement of the disease.
