The Sankhya Philosophy of Sage Kapila - Sukhbir Singh

About The Product:

This book offers a detailed account of Sage Kapila's Sankhya philosophy in a Question-Answer form. Kapila propounded the Sankhya doctrine in the 8 or 7 century B.C.E. with a view to providing a permanent panacea for the persistent pain and suffering of people in their mundane life. The desire arose in view of the permanence of suffering and impermanence of the available Vedic remedies. True to Kapila's credo, Sankhya has provided a lasting solace to the suffering humanity right from its inception. It is therefore considered as the most influential doctrine of the post-Vedic period. The evidence lies in the fact that the dominant Hindu scriptures such as the Svetasvatara Upanishad, Mahabharata, Bhagavatpurana, and Bhagavadgita show a keen interest in the Sankhya philosophy and devote sizable space to its discussion in their respective narratives. Besides, the chief Sankhya tenets pervade Buddhism, Jainism, Shaivism, and Shaktism (Tantrism) etc.Sukhbir Singh
