Overview

Sāṅkhya is one of the world's most valued and ancient spiritual philosophies. It is pure spirituality, free of religion, and remains as relevant today as it was 5,000 years ago when Kapila first taught it. Sāṅkhya is the spiritual foundation of Yoga. The original and ultimate purpose of Yoga is that it is a path that leads to a powerful realization of the highest Truth of who or what we essentially are, knowledge of which enables us to transcend suffering and, as a result, realize spiritual freedom. Suraj Sarode teaches Sāṅkhya philosophy in its original form in this book, covering each principle in exquisite detail while providing pointers to practical understanding and reflective meditation techniques. Learn Sāṅkhya's enumerated model of 25 principles, followed by understanding the essential difference between Nature (Prakṛti) and Spirit (Puruṣa). Sāṅkhya provides the student or teacher of Yoga with an information package of transcendent wisdom, whereas Yoga forms the practice and potential for the experiential revelation of Sāṅkhya philosophy. The aim is Self-realization and spiritual Liberation.

Author Information

Suraj Santosh Sarode (Āśutoṣa) left home in Maharashtra as a teenager traveling to Alandi to pursue a life as a spiritual renunciate studying and living on alms. After a few years, he made his way to Varanasi, one of the world's oldest continuously inhabited cities, located on the banks of the Ganges in the heart of the Gangetic plain. For millennia, Varanasi has been a center for spiritual study, and it was here that Suraj began Sanskrit studies in earnest while training as a priest and temple cook. Suraj's interests later led him to Haridwar, another center of spirituality and gateway to the Himalayas. At Haridwar, Suraj continued in service again as a priest for a time before entering into formal study of Sanskrit, Logic, and Vedanta. Ultimately, his calling led him to Arsha Vidya Institute for Sanskrit and Vedanta (commonly known as Dayananda Ashram), where he lived and studied full-time as a resident student-initiate for several years. Suraj's 14-year initiatic process was rigorous and comprehensive, and he still refers to himself as a 'student of Vedānta'. He is an inner-renunciate (āntara saṃnyāsin; आन्तर संन्यािसन्) who lives a quiet life of study, nonviolence, detachment, and clarity amid a society and a world that is anything but. Navkant Juyal grew up in a small high-mountain village in the heart of the Indian Himālayas. It was there that he felt drawn to Yoga. Having chosen a scholar's path, he began his studies in the Himalayan village of Rishikesh at Govt. P.G. College, and eventually earned a master's degree in Yogic studies (MSc. Yoga) from Dev Sanskriti Vivshwavidyalaya (DSVV) in Haridwar. Currently, Navkant is living and studying in Varanasi while pursuing his PhD. Navkant teaches traditional Yoga and Yoga Philosophy to both Westerners and Indians alike. Navkant is a living expression of what Yoga has to offer. Silvia is an internationally qualified full-time Yoga teacher and head instructor at Shambhala Yoga School located on Koh Tao island in Thailand. Silvia has a passion for life and for sharing the benefits of yoga as a path of Self--enquiry and expression.
