Nyaya epistemology based on four fundamental aspects which are :    1 . Pratakahya (perception) ,2 . Anumana( inference)   ,3 . Upamana( comparison and analogy) and sabda( Testimony)                                                                                                          These are called " pramanas " which is typically translates as " valid source of knowledge". Nyay mostly emphasis more on the notion of  veridical inferential cognition  which means inferences which are deducted should be veridical( rightful, verifiable ) in nature . In Nyay philosophy anything which is not rightful or sensible should be discarded. they do not support mystery mongering and ritualism ,they solely op...

            Brihaspati ( founder of charvaka                      philosophy) talking with  a king   Charvaka is a crude , rudimentary form of philosophy. The charvaka philosophy mostly based on the notion of perception and experience being the only source of veridical knowledge. Charvakas believe that  anything which beyond experience is not acceptable as a source of knowledge. They refutes metaphysical aspects of  existence and refutes the presence of Brahman ( God) and Aatman( essence of One's individual soul).  They only relie upon the five senses,and reality to them is just a projection of those senses. Hence, in a way  Charvakas are Empiricists  of ancient school of Philosophy. This Charvaka philosophy originated in India in 600 BCE ,though the name of the founder of this philosophy is disputable. Some say ,the founder is Brihaspati who has  also writte...

 "Brahman" is the fundamental and primordial reality of existence of the Universe. Brahman is the "efficient cause" of this Universe. It is  the unchanging ,pure "cosmic consciousness "which holds everything together . Brahman is the cause  of all causes .Brahman is the "unfiltered " reality , and the reason why it is unfiltered is because  reality can not be perceived using "relative frame" of mind .         We can not filter   true nature of reality in order to  perceive it  and even if we do it ,the reality itself becomes filtered . Hence, by   using "relative consciousness" we   can only  achieve empirical reality but not reality itself . The only way to attain to this reality is to merge with that  "unfiltered  reality "which is Brahman.   Advaita Vedanta describes Brahman as being only reality , and everything else apart from this reality is just a mere illusion ,which is calle...

Advaita vedanta describes Aatman in detail and Its true nature . According to Advaita Vedanta we are Aatman and not  the body and mind ,but not realized or attained to this truth .                                                                  The sole purpose of Advaita vedanta is to make us realize the True nature of our existence which is Brahman . On surface level we can think that Aatman and Brahman are two different realities ,but when we dive deep in spirituality we understand that the appearance of duality  is just a illusion. Now let's talk about the Nature of Aatman .  Aatman has three qualities which are : knowledge , bliss and existence . Aatman is true nature of individual ,Aatman is pure Consciousness, it is inwardly Sculpted , introspective, inclined for transfiguration and holds spiritual dis...

Advaita Vedanta explains Aatman and Brahman in detail and describe the true nature of reality of existence. The word "Advaita" it self projects the idea that reality is non dual and only oneness is there in the existence.  Advaita vedanta Emphasis on the notion that ,everything we see and feel and think being  different and separated is just  Empirical projection of mind and  is just a mere illusion which our own senses projects which is called Maya  and  the underlying cause behind this is the veil of ignorance. Ignorance is the fundamental cause which creates this illusion that everything is different and separated from each other and there is a God who is separated from you who lives somewhere else, in the existence and you have to attend him by doing penance or by following some " Religious Dogma", are some  belief systems which have been propagated by people since eons.  So , Advaita vedanta came in to picture with the  help of  Adi...
