I found this reference in the Bhagavad-Gita which is Hindu scripture from ancient India that I found quite interesting in how it relates to the 3 Kingdoms of glory; Sattva being Celestial, Rajas being Terrestial and Tamas being Telestial. Not what is our doctrine but the belief does have some striking similarities.
