These Sanskrit terms are not mantras, but merely help to organize our thinking about these conceptual matters. Mantras are sounds commited to producing a specific series of effects within the nervous system of the practitioner and within his or her local environment. The more subtle the state of the mind engaging in the process of deep meditation on a sound or other sensory object, the more powerful is the result ---- be it good, bad, or indifferent ----- so, user beware.
Dharma has no english equivalent, but has been variously translated as: duty, support of Almighty Force of Nature, That which supports evolution, etc.
Rajas is the yang of manifestation, while tamas and sattwa are the same yin/lull phase but each has a different appearance with respect to the prior and succeeding yang surges, respectively. The three make a cycle of phases to the process of changing existence along with transcendental unity that permiates all three. Change occurs in the lull between two successive surges to a wave of existence, but is not appreciated until the succeeding surge arises giving contrast to the former surge within time. Yang's positivity is the reference; yin gains meaning only with respect to yang. This is how these three gunas can come out of diurnally phasing manisfestation.

The color systems are our familiar light and pigment primaries. Thus, although red is perched complimentary to lime, they are not on the same plane of consideration. Light and pigments are two different materials and result in two different sets of results upon blending. The three gunas and three doshas reflect this dualism being parallel systems of units existing within their own spheres of influence.
Mars and Maldek used the Pell ratio: one plus/minus the square root of two, something the Romans were into occasionally since it emanates from the shortest width of an octagon in proportion to its side ---- they had an affinity for octagonal buildings.
But for a sodium chloride world, a reworking of six of the eight impersonal natures, with a more favorable aesthetic proportion of undeniably gifted assets (the proportion of a pentagon's side relative to its diagonal, or one plus/minus the square root of five and the whole mess divided by two {although you can ignore the sign of the resulting value since sign doesn't affect proportion, it's just for computational purposes}).
The sequence of doshas parallels the sequence of gunas: kapha, vata, pita, with kapha alternating between active yang and dormant yin:
the three gunas: | ||
---|---|---|
rajas | existence | mutable |
tamas | termination | fixed |
sattwa | initiation | cardinal |
the three doshas become four elements:
(kapha's two qualities split into two elements) | ||
kapha/yang | water | |
kapha/yin | earth | |
vata | air | |
pitta | fire |
The signs are best read backwards, since they proceed downwards in vibration. This is the way they are laid out on the chromatic music scale:

Astrology and the I Ching are unfortunately under- estimations when used merely as forecast tools. When we no longer look within for our guidance, we seek confirmation from without for what we already believe within. Thus, the Gods have become mere animals or natural elements for the most part, when in reality they are equivalent to our better self natures whether they be personable or essential.
