1 The Three Gunas in Tantric Art and Trika Metaphysics

2 The Three ‘Gunas’ and the Primary Colours of Tantric Art WHITE – the colour of the ‘Guna’ or ‘quality’ known as Sattva Guna, expressing the radiant light of awareness, experienced as a pure awareness of BEING (‘Sat’), this being the true meaning of ‘well-being’. BLACK – the colour of the Guna known as ‘Tamas’, expressing the ‘darkness’ of all those hidden or dormant potentialities which constitute the realm of ‘NON-BEING’. RED – the colour of the Guna known as ‘Rajas’, expressing awareness of the vital power of actualisation or BECOMING through which all potentialities of Being are constantly released into the light of awareness from the darkness of potentiality of Non-Being. BLUE – a symbol of the ‘colourless colour’ of ‘Nir-guna’ – that singular awareness, clear and pure, which transcends all three Gunas and their colours yet also unites them as expressions of a primordial metaphysical threefold or trinity. In the metaphysics of The NEW Yoga the basic elements of this three-in-one unity or ‘TRIKA’ are Awareness of Being, Awareness of Non-Being and Awareness of Becoming – Awareness as such being understood as the unifying and foundational Principle.
