The Sankhya Aphorisms Of Kapila (1865) - Paperback

by Vijnana Bhikshu (Author), James Robert Ballantyne (Translator)

The Sankhya Aphorisms of Kapila, translated by Bhikshu Vijnana, is a comprehensive text that delves into the ancient Indian philosophy of Sankhya. The book is a translation of the original Sanskrit text, written by the legendary sage Kapila, who is considered to be the founder of the Sankhya school of philosophy. The Sankhya philosophy is based on the idea that the universe is composed of two fundamental principles: Purusha (consciousness) and Prakriti (matter). The book provides a detailed analysis of these principles and their interplay, as well as the nature of the soul, the mind, and the senses. The text also explores the concept of rebirth and the ways in which one can attain liberation from the cycle of birth and death. The Sankhya Aphorisms of Kapila is a valuable resource for anyone interested in Indian philosophy and spirituality, and provides a deep understanding of the nature of existence and consciousness.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
