KNOW YOUR OWN PRAKRITI

Mental Constitution – Vedic philosophy classifies human temperaments into three basic qualities: Satva, Rajas and Tamas. The relatively predominance of either Satva, rajas, or Tamas is responsible for the individual psychological constitution.

Satvic Mental Constitution – The people in whom Satvic qualities predominate are religious, loving, compassionate and pure-minded. They have good manners, behavior, and conduct. They do not get easily upset or angry. Although they work hard mentally, they do not get mental fatigue. They are creative, humble and respectful of their teachers. Worshipping GOD and humanity, they love all and care for people.

Rajas Mental Constitution – The people in whom Rajas qualities predominate are egoistic, ambitious, aggressive, proud, competitive, and have a tendency to control others. They like power, prestige, position and are perfectionists. They are hard working people, but are lacking in proper planning and direction. Emotionally, they are angry, jealous, and ambitious. They have a fear of failure, are subject to stress, and soon lose their mental energy. They are loving, calm and patient only as long as their self-interests are served. They are good, loving, friendly and faithful only to those who are helpful to them. Their activities are self – centered.

Tamas Mental Constitution – The people in whom Tamas qualities predominate are less intelligent. They tend towards depression, laziness, and excess sleep, even during the day. A little mental work tires them easily. They like jobs of less responsibility, and they love to drink, eat, sleep and have sex. They are greedy, possessive, attached, irritable and do not care for others.

Body Constitution – “One Man’s Food is Another Man’s Poison” – Once you know your body constitution you can take advantage of selecting the right diet for maintaining balance of Tridosha. Many food you eat could be the cause of your health problems even if they are healthy ones. Every individual has a unique combination of 3 doshas – VATA – PITTA – KAPHA. To understand individuality is the foundation of diagnosis and treatment in Ayurveda.
