The Sankhya System

The Sankhya System by Ramacharaka, Yogi is a comprehensive guide to one of the oldest and most influential philosophical systems of India. The book explores the Sankhya philosophy, which is based on the idea that the universe is made up of two fundamental elements: purusha (consciousness) and prakriti (matter). The author delves into the various aspects of this philosophy, including the concept of the self, the nature of consciousness, the relationship between purusha and prakriti, the three gunas (qualities) that make up prakriti, and the concept of karma. The book also provides a detailed analysis of the Sankhya cosmology, which includes the idea of the evolution of the universe and the role of the individual soul in this process. The author draws on a range of sources, including ancient texts and commentaries, to provide a clear and accessible introduction to this complex system of thought. The Sankhya System is an essential read for anyone interested in Indian philosophy and spirituality.THIS 34 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: Inner Teachings of Philosophies and Religions of India, by Yogi Ramacharaka.
