Concept Of God In Samkhya Philosophy

Abstract

The original Samkhya philosophy is an atheistic philosophy. It is the oldest philosophy of India, whose basic basis is considered to be Shvetashvatara Upanishad. Sankhya believes in two elements, Prakriti and Purusha, one is the root, and the second, for the origin of the conscious world, it considers Prakriti as the main reason. Only by the presence of a man, anger arises in the nature and from that the 23 elements are manifested respectively. No substance called God is accepted by Samkhya as the creator. Two differences of Sankhya have been considered. Some scholars also consider Sankhya to be theistic; But the people of old statistics give many strategies against God.
