Understanding of dravya, guna and paryay is the foundation of undertstanding how the universe works as per the Jain philosophy.
This presentation throws light on these concepts.
The Vaisheshika Darshana is one of the six orthodox schools of Hindu philosophy. It was founded by Kanada and focuses on analyzing the nature of fundamental substances that make up reality. The Vaisheshika system categorizes all objects of experience into seven categories or padarthas - substance, quality, action, generality, particularity, inherence, and non-existence. All physical things are composed of atoms which are eternally in motion due to an unseen force called adrsta. Knowledge of the padarthas leads to liberation from the cycle of rebirth.
Purva Mimamsa is an orthodox Hindu school of philosophy concerned with interpreting Vedic scriptures. It aims to ascertain the nature of dharma or ethics according to the Vedas. It accepts three pramanas or means of valid knowledge: perception, inference, and testimony of the Vedas. It believes in an eternal, omnipresent self that is distinct from the body and mind. It propounds a pluralistic theory of many individual souls. Through properly observing mandatory and occasional Vedic rituals while avoiding optional rituals, one can become liberated from rebirth through the exhaustion of karma.
Nyaya philosophy was founded by the sage Gotama around 600 BC. It is primarily concerned with epistemology and establishing valid means of obtaining knowledge. Nyaya divides reality into 16 categories or "padarthas" including the sources of knowledge (praman), objects of knowledge (prameya), doubt (samsaya), and inference (anumana). The sources of valid knowledge are direct perception, inference, comparison, and testimony, while doubt, faulty cognition, and hypothetical arguments are not reliable means of knowledge.
This Darshana was written by Kanaada. Kanaada was the son of Aulukya Maharshi of Kashyapa Gotra. Hence Kanaada was called ‘Aulukya’, so also the Vaisheshika Darshana is also known as Aulukya Darshana. Kanaada :- As Kanaada satisfied Maheshwara by eating Kanas (Paramanus/Atoms), he was popularly known as Kanaada.
The Vaisesika philosophy analyzes aspects of reality according to six categories: substance, quality, action, generality, particularity, and inherence. It describes a world composed of eternal atoms where souls undergo cycles of rebirth determined by past karma and the will of God. The goal is moksha or liberation from rebirth through cultivating virtues, restraining desires, and gaining insight into the true nature of the self and reality.
Mimamsa is an orthodox Hindu philosophy that focuses on interpreting the Vedas through a hermeneutic process called "mimamsa". It is divided into Purva Mimamsa, which focuses on the proper performance of Vedic rituals, and Uttara Mimamsa (Vedanta), which focuses on the knowledge of brahman. The goals of Mimamsa are to provide enlightenment on dharma through correct interpretation of the eternal and authoritative Vedas, as dharma can only be known through revelation and defines one's ritual duties and obligations.
The document discusses different philosophical theories of causation in Hinduism - Satkaryavada, Parinamavada, Vivartavada, and Asatkaryavada. It provides details on Parinamavada and Vivartavada. Parinamavada, propounded by Ramanuja, believes in real transformation where the cause (karana) transforms into the effect (karya). Vivartavada, propounded by Shankara, believes the perceived change from cause to effect is merely apparent or illusory, not real. The document notes how these theories are sometimes discussed in Ayurveda texts in relation to topics like disease causation and transformation, fetal development through par

The document provides an overview of the Nyaya-Vaisesika school of Indian philosophy through a PowerPoint presentation. It discusses the historical context and founders of Nyaya and Vaisesika, compares their key similarities and differences, outlines the seven categories or "padarthas" that the school uses to analyze reality, and examines some of the core philosophical issues addressed like the theory of causation. The presentation serves to give attendees a general understanding of the Nyaya-Vaisesika system within the landscape of Indian philosophy.
The document provides an overview of the Upanishads and analyzes the Isha Upanishad mantras. Some key points:
- Upanishads represent a quest for truth and contain higher spiritual knowledge revealed to sages. The Isha Upanishad discusses attaining immortality by escaping rebirth.
- The mantras describe the nature of the eternal Self or Brahman as pervading all yet distinct from the mind and senses. Seeing one's own Self in all beings ends hatred.
- Interpretations of vidya and avidya, which are referenced in mantras about worship, differ. Vidya generally means spiritual knowledge while avidya means ignorance, but opinions vary on their precise definitions.
Sankhya philosophy believes in two realities - Purusha (consciousness) and Prakriti (matter). Prakriti is considered the root cause of the universe. It is eternal, the source of all creation, composed of three gunas (qualities), and exists in an unmanifest state. Purusha represents pure consciousness and is multiple in number. It is inactive and free from attributes. The interaction between Purusha and Prakriti leads to the evolution of the universe, with the goal of providing liberation to Purusha.
Knowlegde is of two types Pratyaksha and Apratyaksha.
After Pratyaksha Pramana, Anumana Pramana has been explained.
Both the Asthika Darshana and Ayurveda Shastra has given importance to this Anumana Pramana.
Charvaka Darshana has not considered it as Pramana.
It is considered as a discrete means of knowledge.
This document discusses the concept of Abhava or non-existence according to various schools of Indian philosophy including Nyaya and Vaisheshika. It defines Abhava as that which depends on its opponent for knowledge and whose existence is negation. There are several types of Abhava including Sansargabhava (temporary non-existence), Pragabhava (non-existence prior to production), Pradhvansabhava (non-existence after destruction), Atyantabhava (absolute and eternal non-existence of one thing in another), and Anyonyabhava (mutual exclusion between two different things). Ayurveda also recognizes Abhava in terms of the absence of disease
Indian philosophy -Vaisesika School of thoughtPavithra L N
The Vaisesika school of Indian philosophy posits seven categories of existence - substance, quality, action, generality, particularity, inherence, and non-existence. It recognizes nine eternal substances - earth, water, fire, air, ether, time, space, self and mind. Vaisesika metaphysics is pluralistic realism as it believes reality consists of diversity and plurality of material and non-material entities that exist independently of perception. Consciousness is seen as a quality of the self substance, not the body.
Moksha, or liberation, can be understood as freedom from the cycle of death and rebirth as well as freedom from ignorance through self-realization. According to Ayurveda and other philosophies, moksha is achieved by reducing the influence of rajas and tamas gunas on the mind. Moksha can occur during life as jivanmukti or after death as videhamukti. Regular yoga practice can help develop siddhis or supernatural powers and aid in achieving moksha. Naishtiki chikitsa refers to treatments that reduce desires and attachments, helping one attain moksha by escaping from miseries.
The Vaisheshika system is one of the six orthodox schools of Hindu philosophy. It believes that all physical objects are composed of eternal, indivisible atoms that combine and separate. The system categorizes all objects of knowledge into seven "padarthas" or categories - substance, quality, motion, generality, particularity, inherence, and non-existence. It also believes in an omniscient, omnipotent God that directs the operation of atoms according to moral laws and karma.
Nyaya Darshana was propounded by Akshapaada Gautama.
Gautama was popularly known as ‘Gotama’ and ‘Akshapaada’.
Akshapaada means the man who has eyes in the Paada (sole).
Vyasa was the disciple of Gautama, once Gautama got anger towards Vyasa and rejected to see Vyasa with his eyes. After so many requests Gautama reduced his anger and agreed to see Vyasa. Then he created eyes in his sole and with the help of those eyes he used to see Vyasa. Hence he was popular as Aksha Paada.
The document provides an overview of Nyaya philosophy founded by the sage Gotama around 600 BC. Nyaya was primarily concerned with the conditions of correct knowledge and the means of receiving knowledge. It divided perceivable and imperceptible reality into 16 categories or "padarthas" including the sources and objects of knowledge, doubt, examples, doctrines, inference, conclusions, and debate tactics. It identified four valid sources of knowledge - direct perception, inference, comparison, and testimony, and considered doubt, faulty cognition and hypothetical arguments as invalid sources.
The Purva Mimamsa school of Indian philosophy focuses on investigating and understanding dharma based on the earliest parts of the Vedas. It believes that dharma can only be known through revelation in the infallible Vedas, not perception or reasoning. The school's goal is to provide enlightenment on dharma, understood as ritual obligations that maintain cosmic and personal harmony. It views the Vedas as eternal and authorless scripture. Perception and inference are valid means of knowledge, but the Vedas are the only source of knowledge regarding dharma. The school believes in karma, rebirth, and moksha as the cessation of pleasure and pain's cycle. While it
This document summarizes the Buddhist philosophy of Kshana Bhangura Vada, which holds that all worldly substances are destroyed in a moment and cannot exist for more than a fraction of a second. It asserts that everything in the universe is momentary, undergoing continuous production, existence, and destruction. Acharya Charaka accepted this view and based his theory of Swabhavoparama Vada on it, stating that bodies and their components are destroyed and renewed constantly through natural processes of wear and tear, without permanent entities.
The document summarizes the Sankhya philosophy's view on the evolution of the universe according to Samkhya Darshana. It discusses that Samkhya Darshana believes the universe evolved from primordial nature (Prakriti) through a series of transformations. It describes the stages of evolution starting from Prakriti to Mahat (intellect) to ego (Ahankara) to the five elements to the sixteen elements to Purusha (consciousness). It also discusses the three gunas (qualities) of Prakriti, the 25 tatwas (elements/principles), the means of understanding them through three pramanas (proofs), and the two philosophical theories of
Vedanta is one of the world's oldest spiritual philosophies based on the Vedic scriptures of Hinduism. It teaches that God is infinite existence, consciousness and bliss. It also teaches that the soul is divine and all religions teach the same basic truths. Vedanta outlines four paths or yogas to self-realization - the paths of devotion, knowledge, selfless work, and meditation. It teaches that the true self is eternal and identical with Brahman, the absolute reality, while the world is an illusion created by Maya. Liberation is achieved by cultivating virtues and discrimination to see past the illusion and realize the non-dual nature of the self and Brahman.
Pratyaksha refers to direct perception or knowledge obtained through the senses. It is one of the principal means of knowledge in Indian philosophy. Pratyaksha is considered a valid source of knowledge or pramana along with inference, comparison, and verbal testimony. There are different types of valid perception including sense perception, mental perception, self-consciousness, and super normal intuition obtained through yoga. Pratyaksha provides intuitive knowledge about objects directly perceived by the senses or the mind.
Sankhya means knowledge – It describes how the Purusha gets Moksha with the help of complete knowledge of Moola Prakruti and Paramatma. Hence it is named as Sankhya Darshana.
The Sankhya school of Hindu philosophy was founded by Kapila in the 7th-6th century BCE. It aims to distinguish between purusha (consciousness) and prakriti (matter) through reason and discrimination. It sees the world as emerging from the interaction of these two eternal principles. Purusha is passive and isolated while prakriti undergoes modification through the three gunas of sattva, rajas, and tamas to create the empirical world. The goal is for purusha to gain discriminative knowledge and become liberated from prakriti through understanding of their distinct natures.
Ayurveda defines concepts of healthy living in a holistic way. It views health as a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being, not just the absence of disease. Some key principles for healthy living in Ayurveda include living in harmony with nature's rhythms, balancing one's daily and seasonal routines, practicing moderation in diet and behaviors, and finding happiness from within by keeping one's mind and senses satisfied. Ayurveda emphasizes preventive health and living according to one's inherent individual nature for overall wellness.
This document discusses two philosophical views on the validity of knowledge - Svatah-Pramanyavad and Paratah-Pramanyavad. Svatah-Pramanyavad holds that knowledge is intrinsically valid or invalid, as the validity lies within the knowledge itself. Paratah-Pramanyavad believes validity is extrinsic, requiring external sources to validate knowledge. The Mimamsa school adheres to Svatah-Pramanyavad as they believe the Vedas have intrinsic validity, while the Nyaya school believes validity is extrinsic and proven through productive activity leading to fruitful results.
This document provides an overview of key concepts in Jain philosophy including:
1. Rebirth, the existence of the soul, and the belief that liberation is achieved through one's own actions.
2. Descriptions of common Jain practices like samayika, pratikraman, vandana, and kayotsarga and their purposes.
3. The emphasis Jain philosophy places on minimizing harm to other living beings through practices related to eating, drinking, and asceticism.
4. The author's acknowledgment that they are not an expert and may have inaccuracies, seeking forgiveness for any mistakes.

The document describes the concept of "leshyas", which are the colors or vibrations that individuals radiate based on their mental state or "culture of the mind". There are six types of leshyas - Krishna (black), Neel (blue), Kapot (brown), Tejo (red), Padma (yellow), and Shukla (white) - representing different mental cultures from most negative to most positive. The document explains each leshya in terms of the associated mental qualities and consequences. It encourages readers to practice non-violence in order to develop a positive mental culture and radiate the highest leshya of Shukla.
This document traces the development of life from its unknown origins in the early universe to present day. It describes how, millions of years ago, stardust formed the basic elements that eventually combined into the first living organisms. Over time, as environmental conditions became more favorable, single-celled life evolved into more complex multi-cellular plants and animals. Finally, humans emerged as the most advanced species. The document suggests life's progression is guided by spiritual forces like the ego, super-ego, and quest for self-realization and salvation.
Jainism centers around non-violence and reverence for all living beings. The document outlines the five main figures that Jains bow to - perfected human souls, perfected souls, head monks, teachers, and all ascetic monks and nuns. It states that bowing to these five destroys all sins and is considered the foremost auspicious prayer.
- Future research in herbal medicine should focus on research in fundamentals, clinical conditions, and drug development including enhancing plant properties, drug design, manufacturing techniques, and modern drug development.
- Plant secondary metabolites are compounds not essential for plant growth but play important ecological roles like protecting plants from herbivores. The major classes of secondary metabolites are alkaloids, terpenoids, phenolics, and polyketides.
- Recent publications show research on herbal plants and extracts having anti-inflammatory, anti-cancer, neuroprotective, anti-diabetic and other therapeutic effects. Further research includes areas like herbal drug delivery and nanotechnology applications.
Veerya refers to the potency or efficacy of a drug. There are different theories on the nature or form of veerya - whether it is the dravya (substance), guna (qualities), or karma (actions) of a drug. According to Dravyaveeryavaada, the essence or active principle of a drug is its veerya. Testing of 37 Ushna veerya and 25 Sheeta veerya drugs showed their reactions in distilled water and artificial gastric juice can help determine if a drug has heating or cooling properties and potency. The veerya of a new drug can be determined through observation and inference based on its taste, qualities, and known effects.
This document provides an overview of Jain philosophy and its relation to science according to the author. Some key points made include:
- Jain philosophy as described in ancient texts like Tatvarth Sutra contain concepts from fields like physics, chemistry, biology, and mathematics that have only been discovered or proven by modern science.
- Core concepts of Jain philosophy like the atomic theory, classification of matter/soul, principles of motion and time have parallels in modern scientific understanding.
- Operating principles of Jain philosophy like non-violence, Anekantavada and the theory of karma also relate to principles of fields like physics, biology and quantum mechanics.

1. The document discusses various methods of purifying or detoxifying Kuchala seeds (Strychnos nux-vomica seeds), including soaking in cow's urine, boiling in cow's milk, and frying in cow's ghee.
2. Studies have found that detoxification methods like these can significantly reduce the toxicity of the seeds by decreasing their total alkaloid content by up to 96.68%.
3. Toxicity testing on mice found that detoxified samples required much higher doses to cause mortality compared to unprocessed seeds, demonstrating that traditional Ayurvedic purification techniques can effectively remove toxins from poisonous plants like Kuchala.
The document discusses scientific writing and outlines the key components of a scientific paper, including the introduction, methods, results, and discussion sections. It emphasizes that scientific writing must be clear, reproducible, and follow standard conventions so that other scientists can assess the research and potentially repeat the experiments. The document also cautions against misconduct and promotes ethical scientific practices.
1. Ayurveda defines obesity as excessive malformed fat deposits due to depletion of fat-metabolizing enzymes in the body.
2. Obesity can be caused by genetic factors, lifestyle habits like overeating and lack of exercise, or diseases of the digestive system and hypothalamus.
3. Ayurveda treats obesity through lifestyle modifications like controlled nutrition and exercise, as well as medicinal therapies to liquefy fat deposits and promote elimination of fat from the body.

The document discusses the key doctrines of Jainism. It states that according to Jain science, the universe is comprised of six universal substances - soul, matter, space, time, dynamic medium, and stationary medium.

Jainism is an ancient Indian religion founded in the 6th century BC by Vardhaman Mahavira. It is based on the principles of nonviolence and austerity. The religion is divided into two major sects, Digambar and Shwetambar. Central to Jain beliefs are the five great vows of nonviolence, truthfulness, non-stealing, chastity, and non-attachment. Jains believe in an eternal and everlasting universe governed by the principles of karma and reincarnation. The goal of Jain philosophy and practice is to achieve liberation from the cycle of rebirth through following the path of right conduct.
Rupa is one of the four ultimate realities in Buddhism and one of the five aggregates that make up a being. It refers to material form or phenomena. There are 28 types of rupa which can be divided into two categories - the four essential rupas which are earth, water, fire, and air elements, and 24 derivative rupas which depend on the essential rupas. Rupa arises from four causes and ceases after 17 moments, emphasizing its impermanent nature. It comprises characteristics of both matter and energy.

The document discusses the ultimate goal of all living beings as seeking bliss. It provides arguments that God is the source of infinite bliss, and explains that while souls eternally seek bliss, they have not yet attained it because they do not understand what true bliss is, where it can be found, or how to find it. God exists, it argues, and this can be inferred from the existence of order and laws in creation that require an intelligent designer. Attaining God and His grace is presented as the only way for the soul to achieve eternal bliss.

This document discusses Ayurvedic and Yogic perspectives on the nature of self. It describes the self as having three parts - the visible self, invisible self, and soul. The invisible self is composed of the five pranas, five senses, five organs of action, mind, intellect, ego and soul. It is linked to the universal macrocosm through energy channels called nadis. When the link between the invisible and visible self disintegrates at death, the soul is liberated. The document aims to answer the question "Who am I?" by exploring the relationship between the individual self and the universal whole according to ancient Indian philosophy.
This document discusses the physical human body and its relationship to the divine. It makes several key points:
1) The human body is the temple in which the Supreme resides. It is a gift from God and should be cared for and enjoyed, not deprived of natural desires and functions.
2) The senses are there to experience God's love and should be satisfied, not suppressed. Desires and passions came with the body and must be given to.
3) Male and female distinctions are just part of God's divine play or leela. Ultimately we are all the same, with God residing within each person.
4) Nature and the physical world are God's creation and should be fully participated
This document discusses the contributions of Jain religion and philosophy to science. It notes that Jain scriptures such as Tatvarth Sutra contain discussions of concepts in physics, including atoms, subatomic particles, integration and disintegration of matter. Applied concepts in areas like atomic charge and time as a substance are also mentioned. Biology topics such as classification of living beings and plant sentience find parallels in Jain philosophy. Mathematics and astronomy in ancient Jain texts are briefly outlined. Overall, the document argues that many principles of science are embedded in Jain religious doctrines, showing science and religion as complementary rather than conflicting domains of knowledge.
We are not our material bodies but eternal spirit souls. The presence of the soul can be seen through consciousness, which a computer lacks, and through phenomena like near-death experiences. The soul is eternal, individual, and smaller than the tip of a hair. It inhabits the heart and leaves one body for another at death, driven by karma from past lives. Ultimate knowledge comes from understanding our true identity as spirit souls, parts of God, not as temporary material bodies.

The document discusses several key features of Eastern religions including Hinduism, Buddhism, and Jainism. Some common features are the concepts of karma, samsara (cycle of rebirth), and moksha (liberation). Hinduism focuses on dharma (duties) and the caste system, and emphasizes paths of devotion, knowledge and action. Buddhism teaches the Four Noble Truths and Eightfold Path to end suffering through enlightenment and nirvana. Jainism believes the soul can become liberated through right faith, knowledge and conduct like nonviolence.

It seems that current missionary work requires spending a lot of money, preparing a lot of materials, and traveling to far away places, so that it feels like missionary work. But what was the result they brought back? It's just a lot of photos of activities, fun eating, drinking and some playing games. And then we have to do the same thing next year, never ending. The church once mentioned that a certain missionary would go to the field where she used to work before the end of his life. It seemed that if she had not gone, no one would be willing to go. The reason why these missionary work is so difficult is that no one obeys God’s words, and the Bible is not the main content during missionary work, because in the eyes of those who do not obey God’s words, the Bible is just words and cannot be connected with life, so Reading out God's words is boring because it doesn't have any life experience, so it cannot be connected with human life. I will give a few examples in the hope that this situation can be changed. A375
