Triguna’ derived from sanskrit word, tri- three, guna-qualities. sattva, rajas, tamas is three qualities that forms the entire universe.
Ayurveda philosophy considers body and mind as 2 sides of the same coin.
Vata, pitta, kapha forms the functional and physical constitution/ tridosha, wheres as triguna forms the metal qualities. It represents the essential energy of the mind
Nature is made up of three super qualities. Therefore everything which is created by nature and everything in nature has inherited these three qualities, including human being.
Sattva quality – reflects knowledge of an individual
Rajas quality – represents all actions, movements, and activities which happen in the body
Tamas quality – balances and controls above mentioned qualities from their over-expression
In my previous post, I spoke about how ‘Tridosha’ is derived from panchamahabhuta. Just like tridosha, triguna also constitute panchamahabhuta

*Air element is predominantly made up of rajas
*Fire element is predominantly made up of sathva and rajas qualities
*Water element is made up of sattva and tamas *Earth element is made up of tamas quality
