In India, philosophy originated as an exploration of the mystery of life and existence. Indian Philosophy refers to a number of philosophical traditions that arose on the Indian subcontinent. Six philosophical systems have evolved to embody India’s intellectual quest for truth throughout the ages, these are Vaishesika, Nyaya, Samkhya, Yoga, Purva Mimansa, and Vedanta or Uttara Mimansa. Almost all Indian schools of thought recognized the principle of karma and reincarnation, and the goal of moksha is viewed as an escape from the cycle of births and deaths. Moksha/liberation is regarded as the greatest aim of human effort. 

Smkhya is the oldest of the orthodox philosophical schools, and it holds that everything, in reality, is derived from Purusha (self, soul, or intellect) and Prakriti (matter, creative agency, energy). In this article, we will go through the aspects of Samkhya School in-depth, which would be useful for to get more clarity about Mistry of life and purpose of life. 

In first level we study foundation  of Sankhya through Tatva – Samasa and introduction to Sankhya karika wich is considered as principal text of Sankhya. 

Tattva Samasa or "principles of truth."

“The Tattva Samasa is the foundation of Yoga —the basic text of Yoga philosophy. In it the Yoga philosophy is clearly laid out. To understand the science behind the state of highest existence, called Yoga, we must study the sutras of the Tattva Samasa. These sutras need to be explained to help the reader comprehend the text in simple contemporary language.  Thus, the reader’s mind opens to the true understanding of what Yoga is.”
