Human Personality & the Concept of "Sthree-nivasa"

The western psychologists like, Kreschmer, Sheldon,Sigmund Freud, Gordon Allport, Han Eyesenck, Carl Gustav Jung, Alfred Adler and others have interpreted the different dimensions underlying in personality in various types. Everyone of them have developed their own approach in explaining Human Personality. Some of them conducted scientific experiments and some of them have concluded their theories basing on certain empirical studies.

The Psycho-Analysts like Sigmund Freud, Jung, Adler have given much importance to the unconscious behaviours than that of the conscious one. The Typologists such as, Sheldon and Kreshmer, have emphasized on the shape and size of the body type and to the physical appearances of different people.

Unlike the above interpretations, Ancient Indian philosophers have evolved the concept of TRIGUNA. According to this theory, Human Personality is perfect combo of 3 important qualities, namely, SATTVA, RAJAS, TAMAS.

The concept of STHREENIVASA:

I observed the human personality and found in the light of the Triguna Concept, that, every human being- irrespective of age, gender, place of birth, caster, color, creed- is STHREE-NIVASA.
STHREE-NIVASA, is a Sanskrit derivative, composed with 2 words, namely, Sthree and Nivasa.
Here, the word, STHREE has a literal meaning of woman. but in my theory, the word STHREE has a wider meaning. I have taken the word as a complexive unity of 3 different syllables. They are, SA, THA, RA. These 3 syllables or sounds have merged together with perfect coordination and cohesion and ultimately formed into the word, STHREE.
Here, every sound represents one basic psychological quality of human-being.
SA-represents the SATTVA GUNA
THA-represents the THAMO GUNA
RA-represents the RAJO GUNA.

Every human beiing is embedded with these TRIGUNA. But the dagree may vary from person to person. There are intra-individual and inter-individual differences in respect of these TRIGUNA.
As such, human being is a TRIGUNA or STHREE.

And the word NIVASA, means abode or place of living.

Hence, every HUMAN BEING is a STHREENIVASA,where 3 Gunas live,love, exist, explore, exhibit together and whatever we are experiencing from different people is an outcome of the variations and fluctuations that are being taking place in the individuals, and so on..
