Three Gunas
The Gunas, also known as three modes of material nature (Prakriti) operate in every moment of our life. They set our thoughts, words and actions in motion.
In yogic tradition these three Gunas are seen as three expansions of the Supreme Goddess, Mother Nature Herself, and are directly connected to different parts of our brain and modes of our nervous system. Each of them is sacred and each of them plays an important role in Divine Creation.
