BHARTIYA DARSAN.....( DIFFERENT SCHOOLS OF INDIAN PHILOSOPHY)

 


Indian philosophy is not only just a theoretical knowledge but a practical one. Without wasting much time let's get directly started the various schools of Indian philosophy.

  First of all I want to pay my heartly homage to those greats sadhus, Rishis of this holy land ( india i.e Bharat) for their great knowledge and wisdom which are the eternal gifts towards the mankind.

  As I mentioned in the previous post that Brahman (ultimate reality) is the central theme of the philosophy and on that basis all the philosophical ideas gradually developed. on that basis Bhartiya darsan is also divided mainly into two parts,1. Orthodox ( astika)

                   2. Heterodox (Nastika)

The astika again divided into six  sub branches and on the contrary the nastika has three sub branches.

The Astika (orthodox) includes the philosophical schools of SANKHYA,NYAYA, VAISHESHIKA,YOGA,MIMANSA (PURVA MIMANSA), and VEDANTA (UTTAR MIMANSA).

The Nastika (Heterodox) includes the philosophical schools of CHARVAKA, THE BUDDHIST, THE JAINS.

(N.B- in the previous post the Buddhist and the Jains ideas were posted and in the coming post will contain the CHARVAKA)


1. SANKHYA------

-Propounded by kapila. 

- provided the materialistic ways for Nyaya and Vaisheshika.

- it is generally believed to be dualistic in nature as it has two entities i.e, purush (spirit) and prakriti (nature).

2. NYAYA-------

- propounded by- Gautama

- It states that nothing is acceptable unless it is in accordance with reason and experience ( scientific approach).

- completely based on pramanas (witness)i.e, PRATYAKSH PRAMAN (the knowledge obtained through five senses).

3. VAISHESHIKA-----

- Propounded by- KANADA

- it regards as the physics of the ancient times.

- it is a realistic and objective philosophy of the universe.

-As physics is the part of science but most fundamental of all sciences like that Vaisheshika is the part of Nyaya first but later it became a separate one which is regarded as the fundamental of all philosophies.

4. YOGA------

- Propounded by- Patanjali

- literally means the addition ( of Atman with paramatman)

- most practical one among others.

- it has the following types , HATHA YOGA,RAJA YOGA,KARMA YOGA, BHAKTI YOGA,JNANA YOGA etc. ( Discussed on each in coming post)

5. MIMANSA (PURVA MIMANSA)-----

- Propounded by- JAIMINI

- mimansa means to understand and analyse thoroughly.

- it provides the base of the karma- kanda rituals.

- lays emphasis on the performs of the YAGYA for attaining various spiritual and worldly benefits.

6. VEDANTA ( UTTAR MIMANSA)-----

- Propounded by- VED VYAS

- The central theme is Brahman fully ( defining God).

- it lays emphasis on Brahmagyan, hence relies on the Upanishads part of the Vedas.

- Vedanta has it's roots in Sankhya philosophy and has three sub branches i.e, 

        i.adwittiya of Shankaracharya

        ii.vishistha adwitiya of Ramanuja

        iii. Dwittya of Madhavacharya

 ( We have to read it with some interest to know something more attitude and just forget about philosophy as a specific subject . I think everyone has their own philosophy of their life ,so read in that ways . )

FEAR:who are you?

  Fear is a kind of phycological reaction caused by any misconduct or dangerous action happens or going to happening in near future. It is just an unwanted situation of mind and accelerates the conflict of interest between mind and the consciousness. In reality it is just an illusion of mind and doesn't exist practically. In the situation of fear if one's strength of inner consciousness is more than the level of fear then this unwanted situation could be avoided easily. Nothing wrong about fear . It's a situation which happens with everyone while an individual begins with the first stage of anything like singing, writing, stage performance and so on. On this basis this Fear can be categorised as Fear of failure, Fear of confession etc. But after continuously practicing through the inner motivation and positive brain feeding the Fear fades away.  It's a negetive energy and creates other unwanted situation like Depression, Unhappiness, sadness etc. In the war of Mahabhara...
