You may have heard about the Six Shastras but do you know what do they contain and what do they teach? Come and join our new class in-person or online (Zoom) at 11am on Saturdays. Prof Nawal Prinja will present the Darshan Shastras in simple to follow, logical manner with reference to modern scientific knowledge.
Modern mind is a critical mind. Even philosophy is expected to be supported by the signs of inquiry which is logical to follow. Such a system of thought based on reason is recognized as a Darshan. There are six Darshan shastras. Their style is to state a problem and then take logical steps to find the solution. They are written in the form of sutras (short sentences), as short as possible, without unnecessary repetition or stories. They are the output of the greatest thinkers of India. We are proud to bring that knowledge to you through our VOICE classes.
The six shastras come in three pairs. The pair of ‘Sankhya’ and ‘Yog’ give guidance on coping with whatever life throws at us. The first gives the theory and the second teaches the techniques. It will be good to start with Sankhya. It explains what this life and creation is made of and which forces are at play. We will start with the Samkhya Suktas by Rishi Kapila where he explains the worldly life through reason and logic.

The Upaniṣhads (Sanskrit: उपनिषद्) are philosophical texts of the Hindu religion. More than 200 are known, of which the first dozen or so, the oldest and most important, are variously referred to as the principal, main (mukhya) or old Upanishads. The oldest of these, the Brihadaranyaka and Chandogya Upanishads, were composed during the pre-Buddhist era of India, while the Taittiriya, Aitareya and Kausitaki, which show Buddhist influence, must have been composed after the fifth century BC, the remainder of the mukhya Upanishads are dated to the first two centuries of the common era.
The philosophy of Upanisads is explained in simple English with power point presentations.
