Mahaguna

Mahaguna refers to the five fundamental qualities or characteristics that describe the nature of the universe and living beings in Indian philosophy, particularly within Samkhya and Ayurveda. These qualities are Sattva (balance, clarity), Rajas (activity, passion), Tamas (inertia, darkness), along with the elements Earth and Water. Together, they help explain how the universe and individual consciousness manifest and interact. Understanding Mahaguna provides insight into physical, mental, and energetic states, guiding approaches to health, behavior, and spiritual growth by recognizing how these qualities influence one’s well-being and environment.
