WHAT DOES SANKHYA MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Samkhya

Samkhya, also Sankhya, Sāṃkhya, or Sāṅkhya, is one of the six schools of Hindu philosophy and classical Indian philosophy. Samkhya philosophy is attributed to Sage Kapila. At a much later date, Sage Kapila described the 24 material elements in his Samkhya treatise. Samkhya and Yoga is often known as contemporary paths, in which Samkhya, the path of pure understanding is attributed to Kapila and Yoga the path of meditation and effort is attributed to Patanjali Sage Kapila is traditionally credited as a founder of the Samkhya school. It is regarded as one of the oldest philosophical systems in India. Sāmkhya is an enumerationist philosophy that is strongly dualist. Sāmkhya philosophy regards the universe as consisting of two realities; Puruṣa and prakriti. Jiva is that state in which puruṣa is bonded to prakriti through the glue of desire, and the end of this bondage is moksha. Sāṃkhya denies the final cause of Ishvara. Samkhya does not describe what happens after moksha and does not mention anything about Ishwara or God.
