Samkhya the basic of all eastern religions and philosophies

Sankhya was one of the six orthodox systems (astika, those systems that recognize vedic authority) of Hindu philosophy. The major text of this Vedic school is the extant Samkhya Karika, written by Ishvara Krishna, circa 200 AD. This text (in karika 70) identifies Sankhya as a Tantra[2] and its philosophy was one of the main influences both on the rise of the Tantras as a body of literature, as well as Tantra sadhana[3]. There are no purely Sankhya schools existing today in Hinduism, but its influence is felt in the Yoga and Vedanta schools. Srila Prabupada (founder of the worldwide "Hare Krishna movement") believes that the original theistic Sankhya philosophy was propounded by sage Kapila in the Srimad Bhagavatam long before another atheistic form of Samkhya-yoga was enunciated by what he alleged to be an imposter posing as Kapila,[4] but his view is not supported by any text.

I think this Prabhupada was a exceptional scholar and think He must have had some proof about this imposter Kapila, dont think He would have said it otherwise. This video is great, I just left a forum battling it out with impersonalists which where unable to explain how illusion comes out of the unmanifested formless attributeless and featureless brahman, so this is a refreshing video, finally someone who understands the individual self the soul. Great thanks

Thank for this ! Although I became a Taoist,in my twenties I got to learn a bit about Samkhya and still to this day I respect and love it !

[jaidheeraj]

there is a soul, which is living substance

[gujjucheap]

there is no such thing as a soul, atman only means 'the self' which is not imortal and indestructive. brahman is literally the energy of the universe of which matter arises out of slow vibrations!!!
