Sankhya Karika

Book •
The Samkhyakarika is an important and influential text in the Samkhya school of Indian philosophy.

It systematically presents the core principles and concepts of Samkhya, which is one of the oldest philosophical systems in India.

The text outlines the dualistic metaphysics of Samkhya, distinguishing between Purusha (consciousness) and Prakriti (matter).

It explains the evolution of the universe from Prakriti through the interaction of its three gunas (qualities).

The Samkhyakarika also delves into the nature of perception, knowledge, and liberation, providing a comprehensive framework for understanding reality and the path to self-realization.

This text has been fundamental in shaping the understanding and study of Samkhya philosophy.
