Samkhya is one of the earliest schools of Indian philosophy and most systems,including yoga,have been drawn from or influenced by it.Samkhya is a dualisitic philosphy and postulates two eternal realities:Purusha,the witnessing consciousness,and Prakriti,the root cause of creation,composed of three gunas. This text highlights the unique contribution of Samkhya philospohy in man's quest to understand his true nature.It discusses the pratical theories of causation,manifestation,bondage and liberation.For the spiritual aspirant,Samkhya is the metaphysics of self-realization and yoga is the sadhana or means to achieve it. Samkhya Darshan contains the full Sanskrit text of Ishvara Krishna's Samkhya Karika as well as tranasliteration and translation.

Great buildup of Sankhya philosophy I like the metaphysics proposed by Sankhya philosophy and recently have been reading more about it for an Ayurveda course that I am taking. When I wanted some material a bit more deep than the textbook, I turned to Swami Niranjan's rather small, but exceptional, book. I was already a fairly big fan of SwaN's other books, so I ex. "Terrific and Potent Exposition of Samkhya Thought" according to Vik V. I bought this book many years ago, and am just now going through this list of purchases I made on Amazon over the years, and reviewing a few noteworthy books. I have now read this book about 5 times, cover to cover, as it is short, yet potent. The author dissects the Samkhya darshan with such precision, yet in a conversational w
