Let Yoga lead the way
By Sonali Dash
Why does life seem unfair at times? Why do some people have to go through much more pain than others? Why does opulence come to only a chosen few? Amidst all the vagaries of life, when one starts wondering and looking for answers, one is considered to embark on his spiritual journey. In the language of Yoga, he is called a Sadhaka. While trading this path, it makes sense to understand what this life is all about. While everyone’s life purpose might seem different when we look at it from outside, the objective as per Yoga is the same for all, which is purification of mind.
YOGA & SAMKHYA DARSHANAS Indian philosophies are not mere intellectual discussions. Instead they contain the knowledge that our sages have realised through their own experiences in deep states of meditation. These teachings being more existential in nature, are called Darshanas, which means something that has been seen. There are six major Darshanas - Vedanta, Mimansa, Nyaya, Vaisheshika, Samkhya & Yoga. For the purpose of this article, we will stick to Samkhya and Yoga.
