Indian psychology is characterized by its diverse and rich traditions that have evolved over several centuries. This chapter tries to fulfill four objectives: 1) To provide a brief overview of the concept of self in Bhagavad Gita; 2) to give a brief overview of the two frameworks for moksha given in the Bhagavad Gita with the help of empirical evidence of current research; 3) to propose a conceptual model using Triguna Framework and Trimarg Framework; and 4) to provide the implications of the proposed model. The chapter begins with an explanation of the Indian philosophical understanding of self from the lens of Bhagavad Gita. In the second section, an effort has been made to compare and contrast the two frameworks given in Bhagavad Gita for Moksha. The last section introduces a conceptual model to enhance sattva guna and reduce the rajas and tamas gunas to attain atmabodha that can have positive psychological implications in modern times.

Background: The foremost challenge for global acceptance of traditional systems of Indian medicine is to establish evidence for all the documentation mentioned in the texts. To make Ayurveda more evidence-based, there is a need for an abundance of data with proper validity and reliability. To ensure that the data collected from various research studies is reliable as well as valid, there is a need to convert possible subjective parameters into objective ones. Guna (~attribute/property), a fundamental concept in Ayurveda, particularly Gurvadi guna (~physical attributes), is a similar subjective parameter that needs more objectivity to be assessed uniformly by all practitioners of Ayurveda. Aim: The aim of this study was to propose a conceptual framework for developing a prototype instrument that objectively assesses Gurvadi guna in both substances and the human body, integrating technology with Ayurvedic principles. Methods: This concept presents a theoretical framework, synthesizing ideas from Ayurvedic philosophy, modern scientific techniques, and technological innovations. It proposes the integration of chromatography, spectroscopy, biophysical techniques, and nanotechnology for Guna assessment. The framework envisages a multifunctional instrument capable of evaluating Gurvadi guna in substances and human physiology simultaneously. Expected Outcomes: The proposed instrument targets to provide a standardized approach to Guna assessment in Ayurvedic practice, objective measurements of Gurvadi guna in various substances and the human body, and enhanced precision in diagnosing imbalances and selecting appropriate treatments. Conclusion: This conceptual framework represents a novel approach to bridging traditional Ayurvedic knowledge with modern technology. While acknowledging the challenges in development and implementation, this proposal aims to stimulate interdisciplinary collaboration and innovation in Ayurvedic research and practice.

Context:Emotion regulation (ER) is vital for well-being. Yogic personality traits,gunas, influence the expression of ER.Aims:To investigate the expression of ER based on guna-related personality traits employing explicit, implicit, and objective eye-tracking techniques.Settings and Design:Quota sampling was used, with a cross-sectional design with three groups, sattva, rajas, and tamas. Three hundred and ninety-four female students were screened and finally, 30 fromsattva, 34 fromrajas, and 36 fromtamaswere analyzed.Methods:Participants were given State and Trait Mindfulness Scales, Gita Inventory, Social Desirability Scale, state-trait anxiety inventory, Adult Attachment Scale, and Emotional Regulation Questionnaire. ER-Implicit Association Test (ER-IAT) and Eye Tracker were also used to evaluate the participants.Statistical Analysis Used:One-way repeated-measures analysis of variance was used to examine differences betweensattva,rajas, andtamas.Results:Sattvagroup adopted a higher level of regulation strategy, ER-IAT scores were positive forsattva, negative for rajas and tamas. Mindfulness was highest and anxiety was least insattva. In the eye tracker, within the non-emotional areas of interest (eAOI) regions of pleasant condition, and eAOI regions of unpleasant condition,sattvagroup had considerably higher dwell time. Pupil dilation was lowest in sattva for all the conditions, both within and outside eAOIs.Conclusions:Sattvagunawas found to foster healthy ER, and other psychological attributes. Conscious cultivation of sattva is needed for healthy emotional life.
