Are people interested in a discussion regarding the sāṁkhya philosophy?
This sāṁkhya can be view in two ways:
sāṁkhyā - number; to reckon or count , up , sum up , enumerate , calculate:; deliberation , reasoning , reflection , reason , intellect.
Hence from this this sāṁkhya philosophy reviews 25 tattva-s i.e. prakṛiti (24) + puruṣa (1) and the nature of creation.Another view is this:
sāṁkhya meaning samyag-jñāna. Samyag-jñāna is samyag+jñāna. Samyag = samyañc. This is defined as correct , accurate , proper , true , completely , wholly , thoroughly.
And we know that jñāna is knowledge. So in this case sāṁkhya means full , complete, thorough knowledge.What would be perhaps interesting is the principles of sāṁkhya overall.
What I cannot comment on is the sāṁkhya kārikā-s that are authored by īśvaṛa-kṛṣṇa-ji. I have read this work as of yet. Perhaps some one can offer this to the conversation?
