The system of five elements are found in Vedas,
Ayurveda, the pancha mahabhuta, or "five
great elements", of Hinduism are shunya
(Space or Zero), vayu or pavan (Air
or Wind), tejas or agni (Fire), ap or jala
(Water), marutand vyom and bhūmi
(Earth).
1. “Space” - Sense of Sound
Space define the gap between two things, and it
is also the element of non-resistance. It is
expansive, empty, and has no resistance. It is the
source of all matter and houses the space within
which it exists. It allows for growth and change
to take place. It is the space between your cells,
your breath, and your thoughts.
2. “Air” - Sense of Touch
Air is the element of intelligence, creativity,
and beginnings. Largely intangible and without
permanent form, air is an active, masculine
element, superior to the more material elements of
water and earth.
3. “Fire” - Sense of Sight
Fire is associated with strength, activity,
blood, and life-force. It is also seen as highly
purifying and protective, consuming impurities and
driving back the darkness. Fire is traditionally
seen as the most rarefied and spiritual of the
physical elements because of its masculine
properties (which were superior to female
properties). It also lacks physical existence,
produces light, and has a transformative power
when it comes in contact with more physical
material.
4. “Water” - Sense of Taste
Water is the element of emotion and the
unconscious, as opposed to the conscious
intellectualism of air. Water is one of two
elements that have a physical existence that can
interact with all of the physical senses. Water is
still considered less material (and thus superior)
to earth because it possesses more motion and
activity than earth.
5. “Earth” - Sense of Smell
Earth is the element of stability, groundedness,
fertility, materiality, potential, and stillness.
Earth can also be an element of beginnings and
endings, or death and rebirth, as life comes from
the ground and then decomposes back into the earth
after death.
