Lesson 10: Planets and Thri Gunaas...

According to Ayurveda, Ahankaara(Ego) of the human being is of three kinds, known as 'Thrigunaas', they are Sattva, Raajas and Thamas respectively...

Sattva Guna :
Truthfulness, Righteousness, Belief in God and Rebirth, Knowledge, Intelligence, Sharpness of Mind, Memory, Self Control, Not to Think of defaming or blaming others etc. are some qualities of Sattva Guna...
Raajas Guna:
Instability, Lack of Self Control, Pride, Nature of telling Lies, Cruelty, Exhibition of one's own Vanity, Aspiration for self Flattering, Emotion and Excitement, Desire and Lust, Anger are some qualities of Raajas Gunaas...
Thamas Guna:
Weeping tendency and Moroseness, Naastikyam, Unlawful behavior, Suppression of knowledge by his wicked thoughts, Ignorance, Crooked mindedness, Laziness, Animal behavior, Tendency to sleep etc... Are Thamas Ahankaara...

Ahankaara of man jumps between these Gunaas like a mad monkey which is also drunken and bitten by scorpio, as per the planetary positions... Every Human being can be victim of any of the above Gunaas...

Blessed is the person, who is having Sattva Gunas...

Sun, Moon and Jupiter (Ketu sometimes) are of Sattva Gunaas...

Mercury and Venus are of Rajas Guna...

And Mars, Saturn, Rahu represents Tamas Guna...

We must able to blend the basic characteristics of the planets to know more about their nature...

For example, till now, we learn that both Sun and Mars are Fiery in nature and now we knew also that Sun is of Sattva Guna and Mars is of Tamas... So we can now differentiate their Fiery nature as 'Sattvic Fire' and 'Tamasic Fire' ...

Thus, the end of ThriGunaas and their relation to planets...
