The origins of the Vritti model lie in Vedic tradition

In Vedic tradition, the representation of the nine faces of the great Goddess embodies distinct aspects of the maternal divinity, each with unique characteristics and specific virtues.

This representation offers a stimulating perspective on the personalities depicted in the model. The links between the nine faces of the Goddess and the nine Personalities of the Vritti model lie in their attributes and roles.

Shri Brahmacharini embodies virtue, reminiscent of the White Personalities, which value integrity and perfection.

Shri Kushmanda, the One who provides care, evokes the Green Personalities, which are characterised by natural compassion and altruism.

Shri Kalaratri symbolises success, corresponding to the Purple Personalities, focused on success and performance.

Shri Shailaputri aims for higher depths, evoking the sensitivity and introspection of the Red Personalities.

These archetypes, rooted in beliefs dating back thousands of years, continue to resonate in our contemporary understanding of the various facets of the human personality.
