Samkhya the basic of all eastern religions and philosophies

For similar videos go to Hinduwebsite a profile on you tube Sankhya was one of the six orthodox systems (astika, those systems that recognize vedic authority) of Hindu philosophy. The major text of this Vedic school is the extant Samkhya Karika, written by Ishvara Krishna, circa 200 AD. This text (in karika 70) identifies Sankhya as a Tantra[2] and its philosophy was one of the main influences both on the rise of the Tantras as a body of literature, as well as Tantra sadhana[3]. There are no purely Sankhya schools existing today in Hinduism, but its influence is felt in the Yoga and Vedanta schools. Srila Prabupada (founder of the worldwide "Hare Krishna movement") believes that the original theistic Sankhya philosophy was propounded by sage Kapila in the Srimad Bhagavatam long before another atheistic form of Samkhya-yoga was enunciated by what he alleged to be an imposter posing as Kapila,[4] but his view is not supported by any text. more can be found on wikipedia en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samkhya
