{"product_id":"samkhya-karika-with-gaudapadacarya-bhasya-9781468156799","title":"Samkhya Karika: with Gaudapadacarya Bhasya","description":"The original body of the book was inspired by a series of lectures on Isvarakrsna's Samkhya Karika given by Swami Bawra. The presentation includes an English translation of the Samkhya Karika hymns and the Bhasya of Gaudapadacarya. The revised edition includes an introduction to the oral tradition of Samkhya, including the story of Kapila from a Purana and a presentation of the surviving sutras of Pancasikha's Sastitantra. This lost text was the first compilation of Samkhya and was used by Isvarakrsna in his Samkhya Karika. The unified concept of Nature and Spirit as two phases of one source is found in this early tradition, and the intimacy of Samkhya with Yoga is displayed. Samkhya teaches that Nature is real but has qualities that are different from Spirit. Spirit is sentient, infinite and unchanging. Nature is insentient, finite and exists in ever-changing forms. With proper knowledge and repeated practice, we can change our habits of thought and realize the underlying constancy of spirit.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-4267965\"\u003eBrahmrishi Vishvatma Bawra\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Createspace Independent Publishing Platform\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/28\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 138\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.43lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.02h x 5.98w x 0.30d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781468156799\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1468156799\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBISAC Categories:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-PHI\"\u003ePhilosophy\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-PHI003000\"\u003eEastern\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThis title is not returnable\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Createspace Independent Publishing Platform","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42669593166061,"sku":"9781468156799","price":24.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0550\/8097\/6621\/products\/img_fcec4ae4-b2e5-465e-97c4-096ec3b9d3d9.jpg?v=1649478601","url":"https:\/\/sureshotbooks.com\/products\/samkhya-karika-with-gaudapadacarya-bhasya-9781468156799","provider":"SureShot Books Publishing LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
