Vedanta shows us how to deal with Jagat as nothing other than Bhagavan's sristi. Hence, cultivating Satva guna is advised since it is the weakest link to saṃsāra and can be broken more easily. This last episode, talks about Kshama (accommodation) and Dhriti (courage), two important tools to be bring more Satva into one's life. 

Examining the Gita verses, Swaminiji sheds light on the nature and subtleties of gunas. How do gunas bind one to a life of samsara? How do they express in the body-mind-sense complex? Moreover, why is a balanced lifestyle and diet emphasized for the one pursuing Self knowledge. 

Nothing in this universe is outside of the three Gunas of sattva, rajas and tamas. This episode forms a part of a series of talks by Swamini Svatmavidyanada as she expounds about the gunas being manifest in all bodies, and more importantly how understanding their characteristics helps or hinders one's spiritual pursuit. 

Evolution is the only thing that's ever happening, but what's the mechanism behind evolution? The Vedic perspective tells us that everything that happens in ‘the relative' is governed by the three ‘gunas.'In this episode Thom describes the three gunas as balancing agents, engaged in a constant interplay of intention, action and inaction, ensuring that everything is created in perfect harmony, and remains relevant for just as long as it needs to be, and no more. He also explains how Vedic Meditation, the art of transcending the three gunas, can be our most powerful weapon, even in the toughest of life's battles.Episode Highlights[00:56] Bhagavad Gita - Song of the Supreme Consciousness Field[03:20] Cousins Go to War[05:30] Arjuna Deeply Conflicted[07:57] "You Could Have Avoided All of This"[09:45] "Your Cousins will Destroy the Entire Culture of India"[11:53] Nistraigunyo Bhavarjuna[13:51] Yogastha Kuru Karmani[15:56] Evolutionary Force is Causing Ever More Elegant and Sophisticated Forms[18:13] Humans - Relatively Inept Athletes[20:03] But a Highly Sophisticated Human Brain[22:01] Capacity to See Cascades of Cause[23:42] Upright Neurocentric Arthropods[24:45] Sattva, Rajas and Tamas - Three Balancing Agents[26:09] Inertia of Stillness[27:46] Inertia - A Way to Stop the Vehicle[29:46] Change is Inevitable[32:01] Meditation - Be Without the Three Gunas[34:24] The Yoga Consciousness State gives the Expanded Perspective[36:41] Turiya - the Fourth Consciousness StateUseful Linksinfo@thomknoles.com  https://thomknoles.com/https://www.instagram.com/thethomknoleshttps://www.facebook.com/thethomknoleshttps://www.youtube.com/c/thomknoleshttps://thomknoles.com/ask-thom-anything/

In the Vedic tradition, there are three gunas, or qualities, that are said to pervade all of creation: sattva, rajas, and tamas. Each guna has its own characteristic energy and tendency, and they are in constant flux, influencing each other and everything they touch. The gunas can be thought of as a spectrum, with sattva at one extreme, tamas at the other, and rajas in the middle. Sattva is the quality of light, purity, and goodness; rajas is the quality of activity, passion, and change; and tamas is the quality of darkness, inertia, and ignorance. While all three gunas are present in every human being, each person has a predominant guna. And it is said that the goal of human life is to move from a state of tamas (ignorance) to a state of sattva (enlightenment). There are many ways to bring about this shift, but one of the most important is through the practice of yoga. Yoga helps to cleanse and purify the mind and body, and it is through this process that the gunas can be brought into balance. To know more about this, listen to the Podcast...

Ahimsa means non-violence, which most people familiar with basic yoga philosophy know, at least intellectually.  But becoming a vegetarian and being kind to others only scratches the surface of our interpretation of the teaching. This conversation explores Ahimsa and its relationship to the Gunas and our mindset. Cultivating peace within is pertinent to our ultimately embracing non-harming behaviors, and this demands a continual attempt to remain in the Sattva state mentally. 

As per astrology, Nadi Dosha is a very important factor to be considered while matchmaking for marriage. It is said that if the Nadi of the boy and girl match, it will lead to a very happy and prosperous married life. However, if the Nadi of the boy and girl do not match, it is said to lead to problems in the marriage. Nadi Dosha can be checked by comparing the horoscopes of the boy and girl. If the Nadi of the boy and girl match, it is said to be a good match. However, if the Nadi of the boy and girl do not match, it is said to be a bad match. There are a total of eight Nadi, namely, Vata, Pitta, Kapha, Madhya, Antya, Jala, Prithvi and Akasha. Vata, Pitta and Kapha are known as the three Gunas. Madhya, Antya and Jala are known as the three Prakritis. Prithvi and Akasha are known as the two Tatvas. The Nadi of the boy and girl should be checked before marriage. If the Nadi of the boy and girl match, it is said to be a good match. However, if the Nadi of the boy and girl do not match, it is said to be a bad match.

With love Tiaga Prem show notes: Knowledge is better than action (Arjuna repeats back to Krishna)(1) Jnana Yoga (contemplation on spiritual wisdom) and Karma Yoga (the practice of selfless service) Control of the senses via the mind / for selfless service - is the path for the spiritual aspirant Freedom comes via selfless service These are acts of God Serve the God in All When you do this you will be liberated from the notion of loss or gain Devotion to the supreme welfare of all (God will just do it - you are that!) Perform all work carefully with compassion happiness comes from within. our relationship with the inner knower, not the outside world. (17) I am not the doer. The Gunas are always in motion. I serve the One in All. (27,28) Attraction to pleasure and avoidance of pain (34) better to strive and struggle in one's own dharma than to succeed in the dharma of another (35) Competition breeds fear and insecurity Warns of selfish desire and anger (rajas) Selfish satisfaction is the enemy of wisdom the senses are higher than the body (42) the mind higher than the senses above the mind the intuition above intuition the Atman Let the Atman be your guide (Oneness with God)

“Scriptures refer to an Ashvatth, the sacred Fig tree with roots on top and branches below, whose leaves are the Vedic hymns. The 3 Gunas nourish its branches extending up and down, and its tender buds remain the sense objects, while its roots hang down, causing Karmic flow in the human form.    However, one should chop off this deep-rooted Ashvatth with the ax of detachment and look for the Supreme Lord at its base, from whom universal activities emerged. And the liberated, who are free of delusion, desire, and attachment, dwell on self and God; going beyond pleasure and pain, they reach My abode, from where none will come back to this temporal world.    Though these worldly souls are also part of Me, their material nature binds them to struggle with their senses. However, while leaving the old body, the embodied soul carries the mind and senses with it and enters the new frame with them. The bodily soul enjoys the sense objects through sensory perceptions bunched with the mind. But only the wise perceive the soul's stay in the body and its departure.    Know Me as the Sun's brilliance, Moon's radiance, and fire's brightness, and that My energy nourishes all life forms. Then, as the fire of digestion in the stomach, combined with inhaling and exhaling breath, I digest food and assimilate it. Also, dwelling in the hearts of all beings, I contribute both to memory and forgetfulness. And it is Me, the Vedas reveal.      While creation contains the perishable beings in the material world and the liberated imperishable ones, the Divine Personality stays beyond these as the ultimate controller and supporter. And celebrated in the Vedas and scriptures, I transcend both the perishable matter and the imperishable soul. So, Oh sinless Arjuna, worship Me, as the Supreme Divinity! The understanding of this secret knowledge can lead one to enlightenment!      If you would like to find out more about your chart or have a question about astrology you would love the answer to, please do connect with us at www.astroved.com Follow AstroVed on IG, Twitter, and FB @AstroVed       

Krishna now started His exposition on the supreme wisdom, which can save people from the birth-death cycle and unite with Him.    “Prakriti, the material substance is the womb, which I impregnate with individual souls and cause births; I thus remain the seed-giving Father. The material energy contains 3 Gunas, the characteristics – Sattva, the goodness; Rajas, passion; and Tamas, ignorance, which bind the immortal soul to the transient body. The illuminating Sattva creates attachment to knowledge and happiness; the desire-driven Rajas to fruitful actions; and the delusory Tamas to laziness, negligence, and sleep. While these contribute to material joy, activities, and delusions, respectively, at any time, one quality can prevail over the other two. When goodness predominates, there will be the illumination of knowledge; when passion rules, it can be greed and craving for worldly gains; and when ignorance reigns, it can be inertia and illusion. Likewise, the fruits of actions performed in Sattva, Rajas, and Tamas modes can bestow purity, pain and darkness and also give rise to knowledge, greed, and negligence, respectively.    Likewise, those dying with a dominant Sattva quality are reborn among the learned; those dying with an overpowering Rajas, among the work-driven ones; and those with a marked quality of Tamas are born in the animal species.   There is none other than the Gunas operating in any activity, while I transcend these, too. By going beyond these modes of body-related material nature, one can be relieved of the cycle of birth-death-old age-misery and attain immortality.    Those who transcend the Gunas neither seek nor abjure the Sattva-resultant illumination, Rajas-resultant activities, or even the Tamas-resultant delusion. Knowing the play of the Gunas, they remain undisturbed in the self.    Those who have moved beyond the 3 Gunas value everything equal, treat everyone alike and accept whatever comes with equanimity. People who do service to Me with pure devotion can go past these qualities of material nature and rise to the heights of Brahman. And I remain the basis of that immortal Brahman, representing eternal Dharma and divine bliss.”

On receiving this sane advice from Krishna, Arjuna now asked him to show the path that can lead him to the highest good. “Knowledge and Action are the 2 paths to enlightenment,” declared Krishna and went on to highlight the significance of action in life. “Action is an eternal requirement, necessitated by material nature. And those who control the mind and engage in detached action are the noble Karm Yogis. So, perform your duty as an oblation to the Supreme, without attachment to results; this can help attain the Supreme. Otherwise, work itself can cause bondage.    Performance of duties ordained by Vedas produce sacrifices; these cause rains, which contribute to food. The all-pervading Gods are satisfied by sacrifices, where they are always present and grant you life's necessities. Hence consuming food that is first offered in sacrifice can relieve one of all sins.     Oh, Parth! I have no duty to perform or anything to gain; still, I am always engaged in my duties. But, if I cease to act, I will destroy peace in the entire human race. Those performing their duties with detachment inspire others to action and lead people on the right path. While people perform activities by the 3 modes of material nature, ignorance identifies the soul with the body and regards itself as the doer. But the wise know that the soul is distinct from the Gunas like the senses and mind, and the Karmas; stay detached from the results of actions and thus escape from delusion.             So, perform your duties as offerings to Me, meditate on Me, the Supreme, and free yourself of desire and selfishness. Thus relieved of grief, oh Arjuna, fight! For it is better to die in discharge of one's duty! Abiding by my teachings with faith can relieve one of Karmic bondage! The lust born of passion that transforms later into anger, forces a person to commit sins, even unwillingly. Insatiable desire, bred by the senses, mind and intellect, burns like fire, clouds knowledge and deludes the soul. So, control the senses, and slay the sinful desire; otherwise, it can kill knowledge and realization.    The soul, the higher self, is supreme and is beyond the lower self like the body, senses, mind, and intellect. Overcome the lower self through the superior soul, and annihilate lust, the deadly enemy.”      If you would like to find out more about your chart or have a question about astrology you would love the answer to, please do connect with us at www.astroved.com Follow AstroVed on IG, Twitter, and FB @AstroVed

Gunas, as qualidades da Natureza e sua Incoerência prática O conceito de Gunas é adotado tanto pelo Yoga, quanto pela medicina ayurvédica e pelo hinduísmo. Segundo esse conceito, toda a matéria possui três diferentes qualidades, Tamás, Rajas e Sattva. É a proporção desses elementos na matéria que cria as qualidades de cada material: Tamas representa a inércia, estagnação, densidade Rajas representa agitação, dinamismo, frenesi Sattva é a harmonia, conquistada pela boa proporcionalidade entre Tamas e Rajas No conceito dos Gunas, devemos guiar nossos atos, alimentação, interação social etc sempre almejando o estado sáttvico destes.

Intelectualmente a ideia dos Gunas faz bastante sentido, mas será que ela pode ser aplicada na vida prática? ------------------------------------ LINKS - YogIN App Studio: Aulas de Yoga Online https://www.yoginapp.com - YogIN App Academy: Cursos de Yoga Online https://www.yoginappacademy.com - Livro: Sámkhya Ancestral Filosofia Moderna https://www.hotmart.com/product/en/samkhya-ancestral-filosofia-moderna/U55397579G - Livro: Sámkhya Karika Comentado https://www.hotmart.com/product/samkhya-karika-comentado/F60761141P - A cidade paraíso dos vegetarianos onde servir carne é proibido por lei https://youtu.be/RQaxZPGMUYE - Beyond Varanasi https://youtu.be/JB7kfnDKPEw Namastê

“Wellness is the promotion of body harmony for the individual. It is things that are within our environment. It's how we experience our lives through all five of our senses.” — Kendra Irvine   Ayurveda is an ancient wellness system that has been around for thousands of years. When you take the Sanskrit word, it translates to life science, meaning it takes into account the natural laws. We, as humans, come from nature and in nature, there are five elements such as air, space, fire, water and earth. Thus, as humans coming from nature, our bodies are also composed of these five elements. Once we understand what qualities are associated with certain elements (fire = hot, sharp and mobile), we can now recognize when our bodies become out of balance or in the form of a disease. For instance, inflammation, its element is fire which means that it has qualities of hot, sharp and mobile. With that, it can be treated with its opposite qualities such as cold, dull and stagnant. Inflammation is a fire that falls into the Pitta type. Once the imbalance is figured out, a treatment program is curated specifically to nourish the imbalance or known as the Dosha. Imbalances can be treated through a dietary/food approach or through your lifestyle/mind.   “There's plenty of time for it to start to evolve and really work in someone's favour to keep their bodies in harmony and in wellness instead of battling illness all the time.” — Kendra Irvine   Understanding Dosha;  Someone who is VATA has air and space as their dominant elements. They are the creative types and can change their mind often. Physically, they are skinny with long fingers, smaller eyes and nose, thin lips, and scanty hair. When they are out of balance, they easily get overwhelmed, scattered, or fearful. They are brought back into balance with the heavier earth and water elements and would benefit from heavier foods and warm sesame oil self-massage. Someone who is PITTA has fire and a bit of water as their dominant elements. They are the born leaders and they ensure they get stuff done. Physically, they have more muscle, medium fingers with square palms, medium and deep-set eyes, moderate lip size, and thin but lots of hair. When they are out of balance, they get critical, intense, and get annoyed easily. They get heated! They are brought back into balance with cooling and heavy foods as well as a cooling coconut oil self-massage.  Someone who is KAPHA has earth and water as their dominant elements. They are stable, compassionate, and give the best hugs! Physically, they are full-figured and have soft features, dewy skin, thick hair, lips and gorgeous eyes that draw you in. When they are out of balance, they get lethargic, clingy, and unmotivated. They are brought back into balance with light and warming qualities such as salads and spicier foods as well as deep tissue massage to break up stagnation.    Wellness Nuggets: ●       Take the elements and their qualities, find out their opposites, and treat them with the opposite. ●       In nature, there are 10 pairs of qualities known as the Gunas. These are the following: hot, sharp, cloudy, clear, mobile, stagnant, etc. ●       Three types: Vata, Pitta and Kapha ●       Rose essential oils, Aloe veras and coconut oils are recommended to treat inflammation. It can also be a form of giving yourself an actual rose. ●       Bring into the environment through all five senses to nourish it through opposite qualities. (This may come in the form of food, colour, etc.) ●       Our bodies' natural constitutions differ through the seasons so treatment plans change accordingly.   We invite you to ignite the Wellness Warrior in YOU!

In this episode I'm going deeper into the methods of meditation and helping you determine the *best* type of meditation for YOU, and 3 key things to consider when choosing a practice that's right for you. This episode came about because I hear people alllll the time say they struggle with meditation. That they, "suck" at it. The reality is you don't suck, you might just be using a technique that isn't right for *you.* There are many styles of meditation, and if we don't know the fundamentals, we may choose a technique that can cause us to experience MORE anxiety, stress and overwhelm. So in this episode you'll learn: - Why there is NO one size fits all approach to meditation - How we can use the wisdom of Ayurveda to choose a practice that is in alignment for us. - The importance of having a teacher to guide us on our path (because yoga and meditation were always traditionally taught to the students individual needs). - The three key things to consider when choosing a meditation practice - and more! I even bust out some wisdom of the Gunas, and Polyvagal theory in this one, so listen in! For those who are curious about going deeper into a meditation practice, our 4 week Ayurvedic meditation program The Presence Project allows you to go at your own pace, and experience a variety of practices each week. Take a look at the program page and I invite you to enrol if it feels in alignment. www.yogifuel.com/thepresenceproject You can also work with me 1:1 this month within Embodied Ayurveda www.yogifuel.com/embodiedayurveda OR message me directly to learn more about 1:1 personalized coaching, counselling + Ayurveda packages.

Welcome to this presentation by Poornamurti (Greg Stein) as he reveals the connection between Ayurveda and music therapy.  Poorna is a music therapist and teacher of Vedic astrology (Jyotish).  A passionate proponent of holistic health since his teens, he utilizes the power of music along with the depth of understanding that Vedic astrology offers to help  individuals experience greater well-being in their lives.  The ancient wisdom and science of Ayurveda leads us to discover what is conducive to our happiness and unhappiness.  We come to view music therapy (or any therapy for that matter) through an Ayurvedic lens.  In Ayurveda, we learn about the gunas – the qualities in nature that describe our experience.  The twenty gunas are composed of ten qualities and their opposites.  With the gunas, we encounter the principle of “like increases like.”  For instance, if you are feeling spacey and drink coffee which has the qualities of light and dry,  it will increase your spaciness.  The therapeutic principle of "opposites balance" may be more effective.  When you learn about the gunas, you start to view your life through “guna goggles.”   The gunas impact us through our sensory experiences – our tanmantras.  The tanmantras move from gross to subtle.  Music therapy relates to the tanmantra of sound.  For instance, heavy metal music may may have a hot quality.  When something is hot, it can agitate our nervous system.  Ayurveda is not a black or white science, our subjective experience is important and we can be creative with it.  The idea is how to create more balance in our lives thorugh music – by becoming aware of the qualities of a particular piece of music in relation to our own nature.   If a client is depressed, Ayurveda identifies the quality of slowness.  Lively, stimulating music may be effective in bringing the client out of his dullness - an example of the principle "opposites create balance."  The music therapist formulates goals for the client after completing an assessment and music is applied therapeutically to create a shift.  In yoga, we talk about personal goals or different things we want to cultivate.  Music can be used to cultivate the same qualities.  Poornamurti was inspired to share a quote by Swami Satyananda Saraswati.   “Music has a great power.  It is the greatest power that man has discovered.  You should make use of it.  Through kirtan, you can reach the highest pinnacle of spiritual experience, neither by yoga nor any other means.  By kirtan, you can have the vision of the divine, the vision of yourself, the vision of God, the vision of Christ, the vision of Mary, the vision of Krishna, the vision of Rama.  It is possible.  Music does the important groundwork by taking away the “self” (meaning ego self) from you.”  The yogis are always speaking of the importance of music.  Because of its subtle nature, they consider it to be very powerful.  When you meet the client where he or she is, there is more opportunity for progress.  Not judging and practicing unconditional positive regard – both are important - for clients and ourselves.  “Unconditional positive regard” means seeing the client at his or her best.  When you listen to rap music with teenagers, they feel accepted.  If it's a song that is reinforcing aggressive behavior, however, the first step is to help them understand if this is something they want in their lives.  While they may resist a different style of music, they may accept rap music with a more positive message.   Ultimately, they have to come to their own understanding.  Find Poornamurti at https://vedichealing108.com/ 

Join me as I interview Kamalesh Ginger Hooven regarding the relationship between Ayurveda and yoga.  A Tennessee native, she currently lives in Guatemala (in the city of Antigua), where she has resided for decades.  She is the proprietor of the successful restaurant, Café Condesa, and the Bed & Breakfast, Café San Juan.  She teaches yoga and Ayurveda and hosts retreat groups at Cafe San Juan.  For her 50th birthday, a friend inspired her to start a daily yoga practice.  From there, she completed her 700-hour yoga teacher training with yogic scholar Georg Feuerstein and studied with yogi master Baba Hari Dass.  She is a teacher of yoga and Ayurveda at Mount Madonna Center, a yoga ashram and intentional community located in Northern California.Many individuals come to yoga for the asana practice and from there, become acquainted with Ayurveda.  These sister sciences go back millennia.  There is no separation between the two – both believe all of creation is composed of five elements.  Yoga brings us to the recognition of true immortality.  In India, all yogis were familiar with the basic principles of Ayurveda.  All Vaidyas (Ayurvedic doctors) definitely knew yoga.  Yoga and Ayurveda are complementarities.  There are differences, however.  Yoga is the seeking of liberation.  Ayurveda is too, but the emphasis is creating the foundation of a healthy body and mind.  The practices of yoga can be approached with a lot more austerity.  Kamalesh teaches advanced yoga studies currently via Zoom at Mount Madonna Center.  In spite of the limitations imposed by the pandemic, she finds that there is a lovely cohort of spiritual seekers.  “The space and time we have created are just that – creations – they are not reality.  If I really believe that, I can go across space and time and check in.”  “And the mind in Ayurveda – we dedicate a lot of our time focusing on the state of our body – whether we feel healthy and energized.  We don't seem to mentor the state of our mind, at least in the U.S in the same manner.  From an Ayurvedic and yogic perspective, how should we be thinking of our mind, how should we be shifting to balance and what tools do you consider important?”  "Through yoga, we realize that our mind is not our thoughts, but is beyond thought.  We come to realize we are not our thoughts, we are not our body, we are eternal wisdom.  We often forget our original nature, however.  Yoga and Ayurveda give us the tools to come back to a sattvic or balanced state.” You can find Kamalesh and join her free yoga classes (currently Tuesdays and Thursdays) and peruse other free offerings on the Mount Madonna website:  https://www.mountmadonna.org/online-offerings  You can also find links to her Zoom and YouTube yoga classes on her Casa San Juan website: https://www.casasanjuan.com.gt/yoga.htmCheck out her YouTube Channel:  https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCTmj-r5dBbEN0CfPT_48OSg
