'''Guna''' (devanāgarī: गुण ''guṇa'') is a [[Sanskrit]] word that means "quality", "virtue", "talent". In [[Samkhya]] philosophy, the guṇas are three major qualities or tendencies of [[prakṛti]], which are called: ''sattva'' (purity, equilibrium), ''rajas'' (passion, activity), and ''tamas'' (ignorance, inertia). Each of the three gunas is present in every particle of creation but the variations in their activity manifest the variety in creation. | |||

Guna (devanāgarī: गुण guṇa) is a Sanskrit word that means "quality", "virtue", "talent". In Samkhya philosophy, the guṇas are three major qualities or tendencies of prakṛti, which are called: sattva (purity, equilibrium), rajas (passion, activity), and tamas (ignorance, inertia). Each of the three gunas is present in every particle of creation but the variations in their activity manifest the variety in creation.
