Sankhya

Sankhya is an ancient Indian philosophy rooted in the teachings of the Vedas, focusing on the enumeration and categorization of reality. It seeks to understand the nature of existence through a systematic analysis of what constitutes the universe, often distinguishing between the material and spiritual realms. Sankhya posits two fundamental realities: purusha (consciousness or spirit) and prakriti (nature or matter). Its principles have influenced various schools of thought and practices, including yoga and meditation, emphasizing knowledge as a path to liberation and understanding the interconnectedness of all things.
