Abstract

The Trigunas’ concept of the Indian tradition has attracted the attention of psychologists in India which has been involved in the development of indigenous theories and models of human behavior, particularly personality. Here, attempts are made to relate effect of yoga on gunas. A sample of 91 management educators, 53 yoga practitioners and 43 senior citizens was selected on the basis of random sample technique. Descriptive statistics were used to analyze the data. The t-test was applied. The results indicate a significant difference in summative scores of Trigunas between management educators, yoga practitioners, and also between senior citizens and yoga practitioners. Findings of this study indicates that practice of yoga reduces Rajoguna significantly.
