Prakriti and Guna of Your Child

By following Ayurvedic principles and guidelines, a couple can influence the Prakriti and Guna of their child.

Every person has a unique Prakriti. In simple terms, Prakriti is the nature of a person. Prakriti is governed by three humours (Doshas) known as Vata, Pitta and Kapha. A healthy individual has balanced Tridosha. When a couple with balanced tridosha procreate, it leads to the formation of a healthy foetus. It must be noted that the Prakriti is decided when the foetus is formed.

Another thing that is decided at this stage is Guna. Guna is equivalent to the mind or psychology and has an important role in influencing an individual’s success in life. There are three Gunas according to Ayurveda, and they are: Sattvic, Rajasic or Tamasic. Of these, Sattvic is considered to be the best Guna. In the Bhagwad Gita, Lord Krishna explains to Arjuna:

सत्त्वं रजस् तम इति गुणाः प्रकृतिसंभवाः।
निबध्नन्ति महाबाहो देहे देहिनम् अव्ययम् ।। 5।
