Yoga’s Foundational Philosophies: Samkhya, Advaita Vedanta, Tantra
Yoga’s foundational philosophies offer a diverse exploration of spiritual and metaphysical concepts. Samkhya distinguishes between consciousness (Purusha) and material reality (Prakriti). Advaita Vedanta emphasizes non-dualism, asserting the unity of the individual soul (Atman) with the ultimate reality (Brahman). Tantra focuses on energy, transformation, and the integration of body and spirit. Together, these philosophies provide a comprehensive framework for understanding the nature of existence and the path to spiritual enlightenment.
