Tridosha theory

They are the metabolic principles which govern the physical processes in the body without being quite physical themselves. This definition is still quite abstract because when we look at the functioning and characteristic features of each Dosha, they can be concrete enough to be moved around, increased or decreased, they can be displaced to any part where they don't belong and gets stuck in tissues to cause derangement in normal body functions. So hardly they can be called as physical matters. Therefore we cannot produce a sample of VATA, PITTA and KAPHA from our body and evaluate under the microscope. It can be only be understood once you view yourself from an Ayurvedic perspective. The DOSHAS are connected endlessly, even if you think you are working on one dosha the others will also respond. Something which increases Vata is decreasing Pitta and vice versa. Among the three, Vata has got ‘Chala’ nature, that is ability to move, therefore when Vata get aggravated and moves it d...

The Culprit of mindgames - Triguna theory

There are certain factors that determine our character and attitude towards life. Basically all your emotions are their play. They can be called as ‘TRIGUNA’, or the ‘ Three qualities of mind’. They are: SATVA, RAJAS,  and TAMAS. An individual can be classified according to which of these three gunas are dominant.

  Understanding the Urges of Mind in Ayurveda In Ayurveda, the mind is a swirling dance of urges, influencing both our well-being and our journey toward enlightenment. These urges, called Vegas, fall into two categories: Dharaniya, the suppressible, and Adharaniya, the non-suppressible. Dharaniya Vegas are the impulses that can lead us astray, the shadows of the mind. Greed, anger, fear, envy, and lust dance in this realm, tempting us to imbalance our doshas and harm ourselves and others. Suppressing these urges isn't about force, but rather mindful awareness and redirecting our energies towards positive actions. Practices like meditation, pranayama, and following a righteous path help us subdue these shadows and cultivate inner peace. Adharniya Vegas, on the other hand, are the body's natural cries for nourishment. Hunger, thirst, the urge to sleep, and even sneezing and blinking fall under this category. Suppressing these urges can disrupt the delicate balance of doshas, lead...
