Ancient Indian philosophy
Ancient Indian philosophy encompasses diverse spiritual and intellectual traditions that explore the nature of reality, consciousness, and ethics. Key ideas include the belief in a universal spirit (Brahman), the interconnectedness of all living beings, and the pursuit of spiritual liberation (moksha) through self-realization and ethical conduct. Schools like Vedanta, Yoga, and Buddhism offer different paths for understanding and transcending the material world. These philosophies emphasize inner growth, mindfulness, and harmony, shaping India's cultural and spiritual landscape and influencing global thought on life, purpose, and the nature of existence.
