Medical students often experience stress and maladaptive personality traits that affect mental health. This randomized controlled trial evaluated the impact of a six-week Trimurti Dhyana (Meditation) Yoga intervention on personality traits (Gunas) in 70 male medical students aged 18-30 years. The intervention group practiced daily meditation for 20 minutes, while the control group continued routine activities. Post-intervention, the meditation group showed a significant increase in Sattva and reductions in Rajas and Tamas scores as measured by the Vedic Personality Inventory. These findings suggest that Trimurti Dhyana Yoga is an effective, non-invasive strategy for enhancing psychological resilience in high-stress populations.
