What is Your True Nature? The 3 Gunas and 4 Varnas // Restoring Dharma Ep. 2

Описание: In this episode, I introduce the three gunas—sattva, rajas, and tamas—as well as the four primary varnas: shudra, vaishya, kshatriya, and brahmin. These concepts were originally intended to describe the natural qualities and dispositions that shape a person’s role and path in life.

Unfortunately, the original teachings around varna have largely been lost or distorted over time. What was once meant to reflect inner nature and function has, in many places, hardened into a rigid caste system that has produced oppression and social hierarchy.

In this discussion, I aim to clarify the original philosophical intent behind these ideas and explore how they can still serve as useful frameworks for understanding one's own nature and dharma.
