SANKHYA, The Philosophy of Lord Kapila

This book discusses our existence in this material world, the "fall" of the jiva, as well as intricate details about the process of devotional service that are not explored in other passages.

Feb 23, 2025

The explanation of the Sankhya philosophy in the Srimad Bhagavatam encompasses eight of the final chapters of the third canto. In these chapters, Lord Kapila offers an incredibly detailed explanation about the universe, the goal of life, and the process of devotional service, the very means to achieve this goal.

Lord Kapila explains our existence in this material world, as well as details about the process of devotional service that are not explored in other passages. Following the deepness of the teachings, Srila Prabhupada gives some of his most memorable purports, revealing even more details. Apart from the deepness of the knowledge discussed, another striking characteristic of these teachings is the logical way they are transmitted. The topics are discussed with very intricate logic, which makes the explanations incredibly attractive, especially for inquisitive persons who are after answers. However, the fact that so much knowledge is discussed in such a concise way makes most of us go through it merely scratching the surface or licking the bottle without opening it.
