In the ancient Vedic society, yajna was an integral part of daily life, and played a vital role in providing communal prosperity, social peace and harmony with nature.

Samkhya Darshan

£7.00

Samkhya is one of the earliest schools of Indian philosophy and most systems, including Yoga, have been drawn from or influenced by it. Samkhya is a dualistic philosophy and postulates to eternal realities: Purusha, the witnessing consciousness, and Prakriti, the root cause of creation, composed of the three gunas.

This text highlights the unique contribution of Samkhya philosophy in man's quest to understand his true nature. It discusses the practical theories of causation, manifestation, bondage and liberation. For the spiritual aspirant, Samkhya is the metaphysics of self-realisation and Yoga is the sadhana or means to achieve it.

Samkhya Darshan contains the full Sanskrit text of Ishvara Krishna's Samkhya Karika as well as transliteration and translation.
