The document provides an overview of the key concepts and principles of the Samkhya school of Indian philosophy. Some of the main points covered include:
- Samkhya believes in a dualism of purusha (consciousness) and prakriti (matter).
- Prakriti evolves and manifests the material world, while purusha remains unaffected.
- Bondage is caused by ignorance that leads to a failure to discriminate between purusha and prakriti.
- Liberation is attained when this discrimination is achieved through knowledge, reflection, and discipline.
- Samkhya accepts three means of valid knowledge - perception, inference, and verbal testimony
Advaita Vedanta is a school of Hindu philosophy that believes Brahman, the ultimate reality, is one without a second. It posits that Atman, the soul within, is identical to Brahman. The key concepts of Advaita Vedanta include maya, the illusion of separateness, and mithya, the world as having no existence apart from Brahman. Advaita Vedanta advocates for self-realization through knowledge and discrimination between the permanent self and impermanent world. The path of knowledge involves virtues like detachment and enduring hardships to directly experience existence, consciousness and bliss of the true nature of the self.
Ayurveda and yoga have common origins in ancient Vedic knowledge and share philosophical foundations. Both aim to achieve health and longevity to enable spiritual realization and liberation from cycles of rebirth. They view the body and mind as composed of the same fundamental elements and qualities. Ayurveda focuses on balancing the doshas for health while yoga uses techniques like asana, pranayama and meditation to purify the mind and transcend identification with the body to realize the eternal self. Their individualized approaches can be integrated to treat each kosha or sheath of the person.

The Upanishads form an integral part of the Vedic literature and discuss themes like the universal soul (Brahman), the individual self, and their union. They were transmitted orally for over 1500 years. The number of Upanishads is disputed but Sankara commented on ten principal Upanishads. According to the Upanishads, a teacher is a self-realized person who imparts the wisdom of the Vedas and removes the bonds from students' eyes. The highest aim of Upanishadic education was liberation through spiritual enlightenment and realization of the self as all-embracing love.
The Samkhya Darshan philosophy is a dualist system that enumerates and explains 25 fundamental principles or "tattvas" that make up reality. The two ultimate principles are Purusha (consciousness) and Prakriti (nature). Prakriti is the productive and unevolved primordial source of all material creation. It consists of the three gunas (qualities): sattva, rajas, and tamas. From Prakriti evolves Buddhi, then ahamkara, then the five subtle elements or tanmatras, which give rise to the five gross elements and ten senses. The evolution process is driven by the interplay of the gunas. The philosophy aims
Certain things or events, happens, that gets ingrained in the memory of not one person but of the whole race or population and then that information is passed on from one generation to the other thus becoming a legend. One such event was the great flood which got ingrained in the memory of humanity in a large scale as is evident from various legends not only from India but also from different parts of the world. The legend of the flood is one such memory of the humanity that is there in the legends of many tribes and civilizations, present and past, from Celtic in the north to India and also mentioned in the old testament. The mention of the great flood in also there in the Vedas
The document summarizes Samkhya philosophy and Yoga philosophy as described in ancient Indian texts. Samkhya posits two fundamental principles - Purusha (consciousness) and Prakriti (nature). Prakriti has three gunas or qualities (sattva, rajas, tamas) that combine to manifest the world. Yoga, according to Patanjali, aims to still the mind through ethical restraints, postures, breathing exercises, concentration, meditation and ultimately samadhi or transcendent consciousness. The eight limbs of yoga provide a systematic method for achieving higher states of awareness.

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.
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.

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
4. The metaphysical and theological
ideas in the Upanishads
The Upanishads are the end portion of
the Vedas and it is difficult to separate
the metaphysical ideas in the Vedas from
those of the Upanishads. However, the
Upanishads are the place where the
metaphysical inquiry really begins and
ends in a fully grown Hindu philosophy
(Max Muller, 1892)[1]. Aurobindo
(1998:5)[2] notes, ‘the Upanishads…….
[could be] conceived as a revolt of the
philosophical and speculative minds
against the ritualistic materialism of the
Vedas’.
5.
6. Different names of the same Brahman
The Upanishads addressed metaphysical
questions such as what is the Reality? What
is that by knowing which everything can be
known? What is Brahman? What is Atman?
The Upanishads, however, use the words
Brahman, Atman, Being or Supreme Being
alternately to mean the same Absolute or
Pure consciousness or the Principle. An
important development from metaphysical
perspective is the focus of the Upanishads on
the Self rather than on the Vedic gods. The
Brihadaranyaka Upanishad (1.4.10) contains
one of the brahmavakyas: Ahum Brahmsi (I
am the Brahma). ‘If a man knows. ‘I am
Brahman’ in this way, he becomes this whole
world….So when venerates another deity,
thinking, ‘He Is one and I am another’, he
does not understand’ (Olivelle, 1996:15)
7. Panchkosha
The Real Self is covered by five koshas or
sheaths (De Long, 2016:164-165)[4]. As per
the Taittariya Upanishad, these are the anna-
maya-kosha (physical body), prana-maya-
kosha (vital energy or breath), mano-maya-
kosha (mind), vijnana-maya-kosha (intellect)
and anand-maya-kosha (bliss) notes
Ramakrishnaaiyar (2016)[5].
8. Goal of life
According to the Upanishad, realisation
of the Self (atmanjnana) is the highest of
all knowledges. ‘The method of self-
realisation lies through the control of the
lower Self, its deep-rooted interests and
impulses and through the study,
reasoning and repeated
meditation (sravana, manana and
nididhyasana) till the forces of the past
habits and thoughts are completely
overcome by a firm belief in the truth
learnt’ (Chatterjee and Datta,
1984:357). The Upanishads also exhort
us to choose sreyas (good or beneficial)
instead of preyas (pleasurable).

10. Epistemology in the Shrutis
The six systems of Vedic philosophy show a great
concern for the nature, source and valid ways of
acquiring knowledge. A systematic treatise on the
Vedanta epistemology is the one by Dharmaraja.
Consisting of eight chapters, six of these are
devoted to methods of knowing while the seventh
discusses ‘tat’ and ‘tvam’ while the last discusses
‘moksha’ (Rambachan, 1984:[10]). Similar to
present day research methods,
novelty (anadhigatatva) and non-
contradictedness (abädhitatva) are considered to
be the essential conditions for valid knowledge –
the latter test is considered to be the crucial test
for knowing the truth according to Advait Vedanta.
‘It is held to be valid until it is falsified by a
superior pramäna (Rambachan, 1984)[11].
Similarly, the Advait Vedanta borrows the
epistemological theory of swatah-pamanya-
vada (intrinsic and self-evident validity of
knowledge) from poorva mimansa.
