Abstract

Purusha is the Father of the universe while prakriti is the Mother of the universe. Maya or cosmic illusion is the womb of Brahman and by virtue of this fact become the origin of all creation. All living beings are born with three gunas or attributes of sattva or purity, rajas or activity and tamas or sloth indolence.

Even the foods we consume are subject to this classification. Sattvic foods include milk, bread, pulses, vegetables, rice and milk products.
