Rajas is one of the three GuαΉ‡as, a philosophical and psychological concept developed by the Samkhya school of Hindu philosophy. The other two qualities are Sattva and Tamas. Rajas is innate tendency or quality that drives motion, energy and activity. Rajas is sometimes translated as passion, where it is used in the sense of activity, without any particular value and it can contextually be either good or bad. Rajas helps actualize the other two gunas.
