Theory of ExistenceThe Samkhya system is based on Satkaryavada. ), where reference is made to the following ascending sequence:senses (indriyas) sense objects (elements) mind (manas) intellect (buddhi) great self (mahan atman) the unmanifest (avyakta) the Person (Purusha) Although the school of Samkhya as such was systematized by the legendary Kapila, and the Samkhya-sutra traditionally attributed to him, in its present form it is not his original work, but dates from the 15th century.Evolution of the Samkhya SchoolOne of the Six Schools of traditional Hindu philosophy, Samkhya philosophy is also considered to be the oldest. These ten indriyas are evolutes of mind. Clipping is a handy way to collect important slides you want to go back to later. The nature of the puruaPrakti connection is prima facie problematic. From these, all of the many objects of the external world are composed. Skhya (often spelled Skhya) is one of the major orthodox (or Hindu) Indian philosophies. It is that simplicity that is in the whole concept of Prakriti manifesting outward, and the process of meditation retracing that process inward. It is very first of the evolutes of Prakriti. 4 0 obj By whitelisting SlideShare on your ad-blocker, you are supporting our community of content creators. It is regarded as the oldest of the philosophical systems in India.This was later incorporated as being one of the six orthodox (astika) (that which recognizes vedic authority) systems of Hindu philosophy with the major text of the theistic school being the extant SankhyaKarika, written by Ishvara Krishna, circa 200 CE. Every purusha is equal and equivalent to every other purusha. Its philosophy regards the universe as consisting of two eternal realities: Purusha and Prakrti; it is therefore a strongly dualist and enumerationist philosophy. The evolution of forms at the basis of Samkhya is quite unique. They seem to go away, yet they return after sleep. The SlideShare family just got bigger. From ahamkara there is a four-fold unfolding into mind (manas), sense organs (jnanendriyas), the organs of action (karmendriyas), and the subtle elements (tanmatras).. Of these the mind and senses are predominantly sattva, the organs of action rajas, and the subtle elements tamas. Many commentaries were written on the Krik, mostly simple explanations of the text, and very similar to each other (the better known are Gauapdas Bhya, Mharas Vttiand akarcryas Jaya-Magal this Gauapda and akarcrya are generally thought to be different from the famous Advaitins of the same name). Nyaya philosophy ppt Ayurmitra Dr.KSR Prasad. (The purua has no gua-s.) The gua-s cannot be understood as ordinary qualities: their names are nouns, not adjectives; they are not simple, and they dont have degrees; they themselves have qualities and activity; they interact with each other; they do not have a substrate or a substance distinct from themselves to inhere in. In varakas SkhyaKrik, however, the inactivity of the purua does not seem to involve absolute incapability for change: the same word (a-kriya, without activity) is used also for the unmanifest nature, the substrate of all material manifestations. When these five elements are in the subtle realm, they are known as tanmatras. This means that the Self as the Samkhya understands it is more transcendent than "mind". This original condition is known as prakriti-pradhana or mula-prakriti, which is the natural foundation. Human beings are a compound of all these. It is characterized as the conscious subject: it is uncaused, eternal, all-pervasive, partless, self-sustaining, independent. Reality is reduced to two fundamental principles: a multiplicity of Original Subjects, passive individual centres of pure consciousness, or purushas; and a single Original Object, a non- conscious principle of unmanifest "nature" or substance, or prakriti, from which all psychic and physical realities arise.Well-known commentaries are Gaudapada'sbhasya, VacaspatiMisra'sTattwa-kaumudi, Vijnanabhiksu'sSamkhya-pravacanbhasya, and Mathara'sMatharavrtti. Samkhya, also Sankhya, (Sanskrit: , IAST: Skhya - Enumeration) is one of the six schools of classical Indian philosophy. All of these evolutes--material or psychical--have a differing balance of the three primordial qualities (gunas), which ultimately determines their character as wholesome, active, or unwholesome. He tries to solve some of the difficulties by proposing that the multiplicity of purua-s be understood as essentially epistemological in nature and ontologically irrelevant. However, each philosophy recognizes the principle of karma, the cycle of birth and death, and reincarnation. The presentation given below will thus follow this work very closely. Purua is unable to move Prakti, but Prakti is able to respond topuruas presence and intentions. Sankhya is thus the foundation for the Yoga described by Patanjali in the Yoga Sutras .

It was the starting point of a tradition of sub-comments continuing to the present day. The Purusha is the centre of consciousness, whereas the Prakriti is the source of all material existence.The Samkhya school has deeply influenced the Hindu Yoga school of philosophy. (1) All complex structures serve an external purpose, for instance, a bed is for somebody to lie on; so the whole of nature, or more specifically the body a very complex system must also serve something different from it, which is thepurua. It is devoid of the gua-s, and therefore inactive and sterile (unable to produce). In responding to the problems brought about by the influence of Advaita Vedanta on Skhya, these authors appear to have responded by formulating a version of Skhya that comes fairly close to the superimposition theory of Advaita Vednta, according to which an individual person is a cognitive construction that comes about by the error of mixing up the qualities of objects upon the quality of pure subjectivity. The sign body of a purua transmigrates: after the death of the gross body, the sign-body is reborn into another gross body according to past merit, and the purua continues to be a witness through its various bodies. Do not sell or share my personal information. Manas here is the lower mind, which we have seen in the kosha model. 129) we find ideas of the evolution of a material principle and of cosmic dualism, in the company of words that later became the names of the gua-s. Skhya likely grew out of speculations rooted in cosmic dualism and introspective meditational practice. It can be known from inference only. The last valid source of information, pta-vacana, literally means reliable speech, but in the context of Skhya it is understood as referring to scriptures (the Vedas) only. This happens only at death, for the gross body (like a potters wheel still turning although no longer impelled) due to causally determined karmic tendencies (saskra-s) goes on to operate for a little while. Here then we have a theory of creation that begins not with the Absolute Reality itself (as in all the monistic emanationist cosmologies), but with the principle of Unmanifest "Nature". 350 C.E. SUBMITTED BY- Email: ferenc.ruzsa@elte.hu This is the revealed aspect of the physical universe. Hence they can neither be differentiated nor be labeled. Samkhya's strict adherence to its pluralistic purusha was one of its major downfalls. Prakti, in its various forms, contrasts with purua in being productive, unconscious, objective (knowable as an object), not irreducibly atomic, and comprised of three gua-s. Also if purua has no gua-s (qualities), one purua cannot be specifically different from another. % Of the latter the highest is intellect or buddhi: it is not conscious, but through its closeness to purua it appears to be so. It is pure consciousness: it enjoys and witnesses Praktis activities, but does not cause them. endobj Remove this presentation Flag as Inappropriate I Don't Like This I like this Remember as a Favorite. This is the liberation of purua, in Skhya, normally called kaivalya (isolation). This commentary, although incomparably simpler, still follows mature classical philosophical style, and was written by a master of all philosophies, respected for his works on all major schools. While all 6 philosophies are important, Sankhya philosophy develops the skeletal structure and lays the groundwork for Ayurveda and its principles.

Skhya thus looks like a full materialist account of the world, with the passive, unchanging principle of consciousness added almost as an afterthought. Topics traditionally emphasized by Kapila, Isvarakrishna, and later writers are the theory of causation, the metaphysical duality of conscious souls (purushas) and non-conscious nature (prakriti), the evolution of the world ou of prakriti, the concept of liberation (kaivalya), and the theory of knowledge.While many people believe that it was always an atheistic school of thought, in fact Samkhya passed through both theistic and atheistic stages of development as Gupta explains: "In the classical Skhya both dualism and atheism are visible in clear and vivid forms.

Five are entrance doors, and five are exit doors. Ferenc Ruzsa endobj Many modern scholars understand purua as strictly unchanging; some of them (for example, A.B. BCE?) But, because of mahat's great intelligence and luminosity, it is often mistaken for consciousness.From buddhi evolves ahamkara; the "I-maker." Ahamkara creates the sense of self (with a small "s"), also known as ego. In Samkhya, however, it is between the self (purusha) and matter, and the latter incorporates much of what Western thought would normally refer to as "mind".

The intellect contributes understanding to knowledge. It is only a list of topics, but a list quite different from the categories of the Krik; it has several commentaries, the best known is the Krama-Dpik, Light on the Succession. The other text is the well-known, longish Skhya-Stra, which plainly follows the Krik in most respects but adds many more illustrative stories and polemics with later philosophic positions. In other words, they compete but also combine with each other, and they can even produce each other. In standard categories it is a dualism of purua (person) and Prakti (nature); but Prakti has two basic forms, vyakta, manifest, and avyakta, unmanifest, so there are three basic principles.

For Skhya , perception is reliable and supplies most of the practical information needed in everyday life, but for this very reason it cannot supply philosophically interesting data. It manifest itself as light. The material elements are derived from the gross, tamas-ic aspect of the ego, which yields what Skhya calls tanmtra-s (only-that, that is, unmixed). The tanmtra-s seem to be uncompounded sensibilia; perhaps subtle elements or substances, each having only one sensible quality: sound, touch, visibility, taste and smell. Larson (in Larson and Bhattacharya, pp. The ancient Buddhist Avaghoa (in his Buddha-Carita) describes Ara Klma, the teacher of the young Buddha (ca. Azaharuddeen, Due to the effect of the purua-s this changed and evolved the manifold universe that we see, the manifest. Step by step, starting from the lowest tattva-s, the material elements, and gradually reaching the intellect itself, the follower of Skhya must practice as follows: this constituent is not me; it is not mine; I am not this. When this has been fully interiorized with regard to all forms of Prakti, then arises the absolutely pure knowledge of the metaphysical solitude of purua: it is kevala, (alone), without anything external-material belonging to it. The mind for its part internally constructs a representation of objects of the external world with the data supplied by the senses. The gods are of eight kinds; animals are of five kinds and humans, significantly, belongs to one group only (suggesting an egalitarianism with respect to humans). So it has a purely cognitive and a material function as welllike so many principles of Skhya. Nature is singular, but persons are numerous. In Advaita Vednta, there is one common world-soul, and individuality is a function of the material world only. Etvs Lornd University You can read the details below. varaka appears to recognize three kinds of inference (SK 5b) (as evidenced by his clear reference to the Nyya-Stra 1.1.5): cause to effect, effect to cause and analogical reasoning. Besides the Krik there are two other important foundational texts of Skhya. The function of the buddhi (intellect) is specified as adhyavasya (determination); it can be understood as definite conceptual knowledge. This is the earliest available text on Samkhya Philosophy, which describes reality. The spirit is liberated when the discriminate knowledge of the difference between conscious Purusha and unconscious Prakriti is realized.Originally the three gunas were in complete balance. The last major figure in the tradition, Vijna Bhiku, thrived as late as 1575 C.E. If Prakti is equated with Matter, purua may be equated with the soul. Means of RetracingPrakriti to Purusha: The journey of Self-realization, or discrimination of pure consciousness (Purusha) from unmanifest matter (Prakriti) is one of systematically using attention to encounter, examine, and transcend each of the various levels of manifestation, ever moving attention further inward towards the core of our being (See Yoga Sutras 2.26-2.29 and 3.53-3.56). It is also frequently mentioned in the Mahabharata and Yogavasishta.Sankhya also has a strong cognitive theory built into it; curiously, while consciousness/spirit is considered to be radically different from any physical entities, the mind (manas), ego (ahamkara) and intellect (buddhi) are all considered to be manifestations of Prakrti (physical entity). While individual and separate, they are connected because each purusha is eternal and infinite. In the Indian tradition it rather consists in the origin of a thing. So it seems that on the material plane,buddhi is the locus of cognition, emotion, moral judgment and volition. Skhya has a very long history.

It appears first in the 15th century and is probably not very much older. The Sankhya philosophy of Kapila was the first rational system that the world ever saw. The first meaning is acceptable, as Skhya is very fond of sets, often naming them as triad, the group of eleven, and so forth; but the second meaning is more fitting, as the aim of Skhya is to take into account all the important factors of the whole world, especially of the human condition. The first premise of Skhya is the universal fact of suffering. According to Skhya, the world as we see it is the effect of its fundamental causes, which are only known through their effects and in conjunction with a proper understanding of causation. Although purua is not actually bound by any external force, it is an enchanted observer that cannot take his eyes off from the performance. Just as water in different places behaves differently (on the top of the Himalaya mountain as ice, in a hill creek, in the ocean, or as the juice of a fruit) so do the gua-s. The refuge offered by traditional Vedic religion is similarly unsatisfactoryit does not lead to complete purification (mainly because it involves bloody animal sacrifices), and the rewards it promises are all temporary: even after a happy and prolonged stay in heaven one will be reborn on Earth for more suffering. But first the effect of the ego must be neutralized, and this is done by a special kid of meditational praxis. Skhya recognizes only three valid sources of information: perception, inference and reliable tradition. Epistemology of SamkhyaAccording to the Samkhya school, knowledge is possible through three pramanas (means of knowledge) -Pratyaksha - direct sense perception Samkhya cites out two types of perceptions:1. And these senses are themselves the objects of cognition of the psyche (which in turn is comprised of three facultiesthe mind (manas), the intellect (buddhi), and the ego (ahakra). Samkhya darshan. The most significant divergence is perhaps the development of a theistic school of Orthodox Hindu philosophy, called Yoga, which absorbs the basic dualism of Skhya, but is theistic, and thus regards one purua as a special purua, called the Lord (vara). Manas or instinctive mind - evolves from the sattva aspect of ahamkara. Jamia Millia Islamia, New Delhi. Samkhya Philosophy PowerPoint PPT Presentations. This is the subtlest form of mental activity, and the source of will and the unconscious. As a result of this conjunction, the purua is embodied in the world and appears to be the agent, and moreover Prakti seems to be conscious as it is animated by purua-s. The sign body of a puruatransmigrates: after the death of the gross body, the sign body is reborn in another gross body according to past merit. The standard example of the causal relationship is that of the potter making a pot from clay, where the cause par excellence is taken to be the clay. Sankhya Philosophy is one of the 6 major philosophies accepted by Ayurveda. Sankhya or Samkhya philosophy is one of them. Parinama denotes that the effect is a real transformation of the cause. The unmanifest form of Prakti contrasts with the manifest form in being single, uncaused, eternal, all-pervasive, partless, self-sustaining, independent and inactive; it is aligin (known from inference only). Samkhya is the philosophical basis of Yoga Philosophy, given by Patanjali. They are generally characterized as the real actors, even in mental phenomena such as cognition; they are the substrata for each other and they are interrelated in various ways. (3) And in most cases, prakti means both the manifest and the unmanifest nature (which consists of the twenty-fourtattva-s starting from the second). Of varaka we know nothing; he may have lived around 350 C.E., in any case after the composition of the foundational text of the Nyya school of Indian philosophy, known as the Nyya-Stra, and before the famous Buddhist philosopher, Vasubandhu. The only way to fight suffering is to leave the circle of transmigration (sasra) for ever. The external organ is strictly bound to the present tense, while the psyche is active in the past and future as well (memory, planning, and the grasping of timeless truths). The two types of entities that exist, on Skhyas account, are Prakti or Nature and purua-s or persons. Do not sell or share my personal information, 1. Prakti, or Nature, is comprised of three gua-s or qualities. Ishwara (Creationist God) The original school of Samkhya as founded by Sage Kapila.

Perhaps sat-krya is better rendered as the effect of existent [causes]; it stands for a moderate form of determinism. It is a notable feature of Skhya that its dualism is somewhat unbalanced: if we droppedpurua from the picture, we would still have a fairly complete picture of the world, asPrakti is not inert, mechanical matter but is a living, creative principle that has all the resources to produce from itself the human mind and intellect. The founder of Samkhya Philosophy is Sage Kapila. The agriculturally-rooted concept of the productive union of the sky-god (or sun-god or rain-god) and the earth goddess appears in India typically as the connection of the spiritual, immaterial, lordly, immobile fertilizer (represented as the iva-ligam, or phallus) and of the active, fertile, powerful but subservient material principle (akti or Power, often as the horrible Dark Lady, Kl).
