"A guna is an attribute of nature, according to Hindu philosophy. In Hinduism, there are three gunas that have always existed in the world in both all living and non-living things:
- Tamas (darkness, destructive, death)
- Rajas (energy, passion, birth)
- Sattva (goodness, purity, light)
In Sanskrit, the word, guna, can be translated in a variety of ways depending on the context. However, when referring to the three gunas of nature, guna means “string,” “quality,” or “virtue.”
By practicing yoga, it is believed that one can bring balance and harmony to the three gunas within oneself." (Source: yogapedia.com)
