Krodha (Sanskrit: क्रोधः) meaning anger, is one of the arishadvargas or the six enemies of a human being, according to [[Sanatana Dharma (सनातनधर्मः)|Sanatana Dharma]] texts. Anger reflects the person's state of mind and portrays emotions, behavioral pattern, and reflects the aggressive nature of a person. Modern psychology addresses anger management as an important therapeutic aid to correct anger issues by incorporating ancient practices into daily life. Individuals can achieve greater emotional well-being, maintain healthier relationships, and enhance their spiritual growth when anger is overcome.

In Vachaspatyam we find that anger is defined as परापकाराय चित्तवृत्तिभेदे, परानिष्टाभिलाषेण अनिष्टविषयद्वेषहेतुके चित्तवृत्तिभेदे। It is a state of mind (intent of) to causing harm to others (maybe in response to some previous wrong doing), or a mental state arising due to dvesha (hatred) a disposition to aversion.

Mental sufferings are love, anger, fear, hate, covetousness, stupefaction, despair, sorrow, malice, disdain, jealousy, envy, and many other passions which are engendered in the mind. These and various other afflictions, mental or corporeal, are comprised, under the class of worldly sufferings, which is called Ādhyātmika (natural and inseparable).<ref>Dutta, M. N. (1896) ''Vishnupuranam, A Prose English Translation'' Calcutta: Elysium Press (p.441)</ref> Adhyaatmika pain refers to the spiritual or psychological pain that arises from within oneself. Krodha, in this context, is seen as a negative emotion that causes mental anguish and distress.<ref>Sharma, A., & Asthana, A. K. (2023, September).
