Guna ≠ Quality or Mode | Sanskrit Non-Translatables

To learn more about 'Sanskrit Non-Translatables', visit sanskritnontranslatables.com/
‘Guṇa’ is a very familiar word from the Sanskrit language which is understood in its non-technical sense by nearly every lay person in India. However, the word guṇa also denotes different technical meanings in various branches of Indian philosophy. The word guṇa is often quickly translated into English as ‘mode’ or ‘quality’ irrespective of the context and without giving much thought into its real deeper significance. Thus, the three guṇa-s of prakriti in the sankhya philosophy are rendered into English as three ‘modes’ or ‘qualities’ of prakriti. In this video Babaji and Rajiv take a closer look at the concept of guṇa and some of its technical and non-technical senses in the Sanskrit literature. This will help us to better appreciate its distinctiveness from the English words like ‘mode’ or ‘quality’.

But religion needed...yet it's like a cooked food perishable in the hands of people of Tamo+rajo drive.....😀

[@jayachandranthampi4807]

Seems like Guna itself is a combination. So they too are representative only. You / person seems to Define them even...When you involve, it get pregnant & delivers...meaning (Mean / Mediocre). Guna as such seems to convey "Information" (with you in it) and formation (without you in it) - Guna & Gana. Like vowel & consonant???

[@krishnamoorthyvaradarajanv8994]

Gunas are pure at its level...it's the product which is a combination of gunas ...😀

It would be amazing if you could do an interview with Jordan Peterson, would be the best collaboration in the philosophy space!

[@akashsahi6099]

What is the quality of 'quality'?

[@kpvishnudasa6682]

[@Ramarao-dq8mf]

Pl compile author wise abuse of words and publish a book. So that futuristic translators get a warning. If not the same meaning will be taken for granted by future generations.

[@neelabh06]

There's is already a book by the same name as the title: 'Sanskrit Non-Translatables'.

[@PratikPatelblackunicorn]

Where can I learn about Gunas on fundamental level? Any suggestion for reading material related to it?

[@rohinsharma3742]

Follow Swami Sarvapriyananda of ramakrishna mission. These are explained in his various talks especially in his vedantasara series.
