<p>sentence level editing for clarity, parallelism</p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>Originating in [[Samkhya]] philosophy, &#039;&#039;&#039;rajas&#039;&#039;&#039; is one of the three [[gunas]] of [[Hinduism]]. The gunas are a means of categorizing behavior and natural phenomena in [[Hindu philosophy]]. It has been translated to mean &quot;too active&quot; and refers to one of three possible qualities (or &#039;&#039;gunas&#039;&#039;) of a person&#039;s mental state. A &#039;&#039;rajas&#039;&#039; quality implies that a person&#039;s mind is ever-active, in turmoil, or chaotic. Such a person is constantly seeking diversions and essentially has difficulty focusing his or her attention for long durations of time.<br /> <br /> The other two vedic mental states are [[Sattva]] and [[Tamas]].<br /> <br /> The word &#039;&#039;rajas&#039;&#039; does not have the same meaning as [[raja]].<br /> <br /> It is used in Hindu diagnostics to assess conditions and diets in [[Ayurveda]].<br /> <br /> &#039;&#039;See also:&#039;&#039; [[Sulphur]]<br /> <br /> ==References==<br /> * Tirtha, Swami Sada Shiva. &#039;&#039;The Ayurveda Encyclopedia&#039;&#039;.<br /> <br /> [[Category:Alchemical terms]]<br /> [[Category:Hindu terms]]<br /> [[Category:Tantric terms]]</div>
