QUIZ TIME: What’s your body type?
Ever wondered why there is so much diversity in the way people think and act? According to Ayurveda, the way we react to the world is governed by 3 gunas or qualities of manifest matter-- Sattva, Rajas, and Tamas. At any given time, one of the three qualities dominates our life.
When these three qualities arise and predominate in our consciousness accordingly our moods, behaviors and feelings come up to be.
Ready to find out which quality is predominating your mind? Take this insightful quiz!
Sattvic
You are Sattvic - which means you are balanced and make choices that elevate harmony and foster unselfish joy. You usually feel light, happy, pleasant, joyful, alert, and clear in your perceptions. Sattvic personalities have high mental clarity and are pure in their thoughts, words, and actions.
Rajasic
You are Rajasic - so you are someone driven by passion, desires, and hard work which can be positive or negative depending on the level of Rajas in you. However, too much of it can trigger lots of thoughts, feelings of restlessness, too many desires and too many things to be done which can become a cause of stress, burnout, and often pain from overdoing.
Tamasic
You are Tamasic - and you are appealed by lethargy, procrastination and sleep. You get easily bored of the topic and in no time lose interest. You are likely to feel sluggish, lethargic, unproductive, unwilling, and emotionally low.

I still have some questions...
- Be on a light stomach. Ensure that you meditate after 2-3 hours of a meal.
- Meditate in a quiet place where you will not be disturbed.
20 minutes of meditation twice a day - morning and evening - is a healthy practice that we would recommend.
Absolutely! Do re-join. Once you get started, you will inevitably feel the benefits of meditation and won’t want to miss a session!
The benefits of meditation have been researched by ivy league colleges as well as premier medical institutions. Meditation helps boost your immunity, nudges you to eat right, makes you feel calmer, helps you think clearly, and leaves you feeling happier and more content in life. Isn’t this worth 20 minutes of your time? :)
We understand. However, you won’t feel the 20 minutes with Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar guiding you. In fact, you will just be too relaxed to want to come out of it! However, if you'd like, we do have some shorter meditations to get you started.
We would suggest that you close your eyes. The mind’s eye will wander in any case!
Yes! Sit comfortably wherever you can.
As soon as you sit to meditate, you will find the world calling on you for a variety of reasons, and your thoughts in overdrive. Guided meditations help you sink into meditation seamlessly. You go in and come out feeling refreshed. This is more effective with a guide so we would suggest guided meditations.
