Indian Philosophy
Origin of Indian philosophy is in the form of Sutra. Formerlly the scriptures were not written, After some time, the scriptures were made in the form of Sutras.
Metaphysics is science of reality. We can get through Pratkshya, Anuman. Shabda, Upman Earthapathi, Anauplabdi. There are nine drashans mainly Astik and Nastik. (Orthodox and Heterodox.) They are Uttar Mimansia (Vedant), Purva Mimansia (Jaimini), Sankhya, Naiyayik, Yoga, Vaishishka, Jain, Bauddh and Charvak.
The Indian Philosophy believes in existence of Soul. The knowledge is shared by enlightened Guru through his experience and was spread orally. Later it was written in Sutra form.
Uttar Mimansia (Vedant):
Vedanta is scripture in Upnishad. Upnishad means to sit near Guru and get knowledge. Vedanta is last part of Veda being quintessence of Veda (sar of the Veda). It teaches relation of Jiva-Sansar- Ishwar. Upnishad was given in sutra form by Badrayan or Vyas, called as Brmhasutra. Upnishad, Bramhasutra, bhagwatgeeta together are called Prasthantraya.
Three Basic Concepts of Veda are 1) Material is for getting pleasure, 2) Physical is to express sorrow and Joy 3) Spiritual to get Moksha or Liberation. Understanding of this concept, taking action accordingly is Religion. (Dharma)
