== Importance of Gunas in Ayurveda ==

Gunas are qualities of dravyas (susbstances) present in the universe. 9 dravyas including 5 mahabhutas, atman, disha, kala and manas possess gunas. Vaisheshika and Gurvadi gunas are related to 5 mahabhutas. Adhyatmika gunas are related to Atman while paradi gunas come into the consideration when there comes a necessity to select one from the choice of many dravyas and also to determine the possible action of the combination of 2 or more dravyas. May it be any category of gunas, it is ultimately related to and responsible for the final specific action of a substance/person.
