Namaste and hello,
I asked this on another forum, and got some great answers, but I figured I would ask here as well. I bet some members here are also members on the other forum.
1.) Is it Samhkya non-theistic? Or is it more Pantheistic? What are it's metaphysics?
2.) Branching from #1, if it is non-theistic, where do the Devas fit into it? If at all? A POV I had heard is that there is no absolute supreme God, but the Devas can still be recognized.
3.) If the devas are a part of it, where does Bhakti fit in? If at all?
4.) If Bhakti isn't a part of Samkhya, what other margas are? Raja? Jnana? Karma? Something else?
5.) If Samhkya is non-theistic, and to be an Orthodox Hindu philosophy means to accept the authority of the Vedas, and the Vedas are overwhelmingly theistic in nature, then how can Samhkya be "orthodox"?
