Samkhya Darshan/Yogic Perspective on Theories of Realism Review: Essential Reading - Samkhya is one of the most influential philosophical systems in human history, lying at the root of both Hinduism and Buddhism. Darshan--usually translated "philosophy"--literally means "way of seeing things," i.e., a perspective on the nature of reality. Samkhya, in a word play typical of Sanskrit, means both "enumeration" (Samkhya delineates the stages of cosmic and personal manifestation) and/or "undisturbed state of consciousness," toward which the understanding of these stages leads. It flabbergasts me that Samkhya isn't better known in the West. It's a phenomenally sophisticated analysis of our experience of the cosmos, in some ways eerily reminiscent of quantum mechanics, delineating how consciousness shapes matter/energy into a coherent universe. These days meditation students learn the basic principles of Samkhya at their yoga centers. You'd think this thought provoking system would be taught at universities throughout the Western world. This book is a fine introduction to an important topic. Review: Great buildup of Sankhya philosophy - I like the metaphysics proposed by Sankhya philosophy and recently have been reading more about it for an Ayurveda course that I am taking. When I wanted some material a bit more deep than the textbook, I turned to Swami Niranjan's rather small, but exceptional, book. I was already a fairly big fan of SwaN's other books, so I expected quite a bit out of this book. It is short, but I felt that it really built up the Sankhya philosophy well. This is a book that I will probably read again - not because it was confusing, but because it was so well-done. In fact, I've recommended the book to my Ayurveda teacher. This is another good book from the Yoga Publication Trust, which came as little surprise. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | 8186336591 | | Best Sellers Rank | #209,396 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 4.8 out of 5 stars (242) | | Edition | First Edition | | ISBN-10 | 9788186336595 | | ISBN-13 | 978-8186336595 | | Item Weight | 6.4 ounces | | Language | English | | Print length | 126 pages | | Publication date | August 19, 2008 | | Publisher | Yoga Publications Trust/Munger/India | ## Images ![Samkhya Darshan/Yogic Perspective on Theories of Realism - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51UzNRpXH0L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Essential Reading *by L***N on November 13, 2015* Samkhya is one of the most influential philosophical systems in human history, lying at the root of both Hinduism and Buddhism.

When I wanted some material a bit more deep than the textbook, I turned to Swami Niranjan's rather small, but exceptional, book.

This is another good book from the Yoga Publication Trust, which came as little surprise. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Terrific and Potent Exposition of Samkhya Thought *by V***V on August 27, 2015* I bought this book many years ago, and am just now going through this list of purchases I made on Amazon over the years, and reviewing a few noteworthy books. I have now read this book about 5 times, cover to cover, as it is short, yet potent. The author dissects the Samkhya darshan with such precision, yet in a conversational way. There are not many people I have met that are into studying Samkhya philosophy, and that's a shame, as it underpins classical Yoga thought, and is useful in understanding the "engineering" of this manifestation. This book has also been a great reference in general as well. ## Frequently Bought Together - Samkhya Darshan: Yogic perspective theories of realism - The Bhagavad Gita: 1 (Easwaran's Classics of Indian Spirituality) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.kw/products/10610052-samkhya-darshan-yogic-perspective-on-theories-of-realism](https://www.desertcart.com.kw/products/10610052-samkhya-darshan-yogic-perspective-on-theories-of-realism) --- *Product available on Desertcart Kuwait* *Store origin: KW* *Last updated: 2026-05-16*
