The document discusses the Charvaka school of Indian philosophy. It states that Charvaka philosophy is a materialist school that believes only in perception as a valid source of knowledge. It rejects concepts like the soul, God, karma, and liberation. Charvaka's metaphysics focus on matter as the only reality and reject spiritualism in favor of establishing materialism. According to Charvaka ethics, pleasure is the ultimate goal and wealth is only valuable as a means to achieve pleasure.

Vedanta Philosophy
Chief Founder - Badarayana
Others Exponents - Sankara, Ballava, Nimbarka, Ramanuja etc.
Beginning Time - 1500 BCE
Focus - The essence of the Vedas
Type of School - Orthodox (Astika)
Source Book Badarayana’s- Vedanta Sutra
Sub schools of Vedanta- Advaita of Sankara, Visistadvaita of Ramanuja and Dvaita of Madhva and many more.
It is also known as Uttara Mimansa
Metaphysics of Vedanta
Vedata spoke of One Reality (ekam sat) which is spoken of in various ways by the sages.
It spoke of That One (tad ekam) that created the world. The Upanishads called it Brahman.
Brahman is the Reality of the reality. It is the cause of all created things
Brahman is the creator, preserver, and destroyer of the world.
All creatures spring out of Brahman. They live in Brahman and are reabsorbed in Brahman.
Brahman is the cosmic principle, atman is the psychic principle. It is the inner self in man
It implies that creation is self-expression and self communication of God to the creatures.
Creation is a moral act of willing and self-sacrifice of Brahman.
Epistemology of Vedanta
Vedanta Philosophy divided knowledge into two parts
-Apara (Temporal or practical): The knowledge of different phases of this material world and human life
-Para (spiritual): Ved, Brhmana, Aranayak And Metaphysics Of Geeta are Para knowledge.
To gain both of these knowledge Shankar has encouraged the method of
-Sharvana (Listening)
-Manan (Rumination)
-Nidhidyasana (Contemplation)
Axiology of Vedanta
Vedanta accepts the distinction made by the Kathopanishad between happiness (Preyas) and the highest good (Sreyas).
The highest Good is the realization of the eternal universal self in man. Vidya leads to self-realization.
Atman can be realized by one who does practice self-control, desirelessness, and concentration of mind.
Karma is not excluded from moral life.
Prescribed actions should be performed without any desire or motive.
Karma purifies the mind; however it is only a preliminary step to self-knowledge.

To raise up the physical to the spiritual is Brahmacharya, for by the meeting of the two the energy which starts from one and produces the other is enhanced and fulfills itself. This is the metaphysical theory. The application depends on a right understanding of the physical and psychological conformation of the human receptacle of energy.
Overview of Yoga & Naturopathy System.pptxDrSofia4
This ppt was made for the PhD students and MBBS interns of medical college. It gives a brief overview of the Traditional Indian system of medicine - Yoga and Naturopathy.
Vaisheshika darshana is one of the 6 darshanas in Indian Philosophy. It is very significant for its in depth understanding of Physical and Neuro science
Welcome to the Program Your Destiny course. In this course, we will be learning the technology of personal transformation, neuroassociative conditioning (NAC) as pioneered by Tony Robbins. NAC is used to deprogram negative neuroassociations that are causing approach avoidance and instead reprogram yourself with positive neuroassociations that lead to being approach automatic. In doing so, you change your destiny, moving towards unlocking the hypersocial self within, the true self free from fear and operating from a place of personal power and love.
2. Charvaka is that generally stands for “Materialist”.
Charvaka philosophy is a heterodox school of Indian
philosophy.
They do not believe in the authority of Vedas.
Brihaspati is also said to be the founder.
Charvaka derives its name from its philosophy of Eat, Drink &
Be merry.
Materialism accepts matter as the ultimate reality.
Charvaka philosophy focuses mainly on these three issues:-
1. Epistemology
2. Metaphysics
3. Ethics
3. According to Charvaka, perception or pratyaksha is the only
valid source of knowledge.
The simple philosophy of the school is, whatever be
perceived, exists. And that which cannot be perceived, does
not exists.
Perception is possible via Object, Contact and Five Senses
Organs:- gustatory (taste), tactual (touch), olfactory (smell),
visual (sight) and auditory (sound) organ.
Charvaka is the only school of Indian philosophy which accept
only one Pramana, that is pratyaksha (perception).
4. According to Charvaka, matter is the only reality because it
can be perceived by us. So, the World according to them is
made up of four elements- Air (Vayu), Fire (Agni), Water (Ap),
Earth (Prithvi).
Charvaka rejects the concept of conscious soul, according to
them the soul is nothing but the living body which has the
quality of consciousness. The concept is known as “chaitanya
visishta deha eva atma”.
The metaphysical concepts such as concept of Liberation,
God, Heaven-hell, Immorality of Soul, Karma, etc. are all
rejected by them because Charvaka believe that the soul is
nothing but apart from body.
5. Charvaka theory is also known as a hedonistic theory.
According to Charvaka, out of the four purushartas or the
goal of human life, Dharma, Artha, Kama and Moksha.
Only two are accepted they are: Artha or wealth, kama or
pleasure.
Only Kama or sensual pleasure is regarded as the end and
Artha or wealth is regarded as the means to realize that end.
Charvaka regards sensual pleasure as the summum bonum.
On the other hand, Dharma and Moksha are totally rejected.
Religion is the means of livelihood of the priests.
6. Charvaka’s philosophy refutes spiritualism and
establishes its materialism to give its metaphysical
theories.
The main reason of the denial of this metaphysical
issue is that ‘perception’ is the only source of valid
knowledge.
They do not believe in causality and universality.
They believe in Naturalism.
They regard that mind and consciousness are the
product of matter.
