	Carvaka - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Carvaka, also frequently transliterated as Charvaka, and also known as Lokayata, is a thoroughly materialist and atheist school of thought with ancient roots in India.
		In the Hindu epic Mahabharata, Charvaka, who was a friend of Duryodhana, was burned alive.
		This Charvaka was one of the few descendants of the then ancient Charvakas as per Krishna, the avatar of the Hindu god of preservation, Vishnu.

	Athiesm in ancient India (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
		The Charvaka system of thought believed neither in God nor in the after life of man. Their doctrines are traced to an ancient scripture called the Charvaka Dharma probably written by an author of the name of Charvaka.
		Reference to the Charvakas or the Lokayatas was found in some ancient Hindu and Buddhist Scriptures such as the Prabhodha Chandrodaya, an allegorical play in which a character sums up the beliefs of this school, and also the epics, the Ramayana and the Mahabharata.
		Probably the Charvakas were good orators and their words were instantly appealing to the audience as they appealed to the senses directly and required no blind faith to sustain themselves.

	An exposition and A Refutation Of The Charvaka, The Buddhistic And Jain Faiths All Of Which Are Atheistic. Chapter 12 ...
		Charvakas, Buddhists, Jainees and Abhanakas - all these four orders of atheists hold the same view with regard to Cosmogony, i.e., there is no author of the universe.
		What a pity that the Charvakas, the Abhanakas, the Budhists and the Jainees never cared to study the four Vedaas in original with a learned man. This was the reason why their intellectual vision was blurred and distorted and they began to revile the Vedas in a foolish and nonsensical fashion.
		The Charvakas believe that the soul comes into being simultaneously with the body and ceases to exist as soon as the body is dissolved.

	Charvaka
		A Rakshasa, and friend of Duryodhana, who disguised himself as a Brahman and reproached Yudhishthira for his crimes, when he entered Hastinapura in triumph after the great battle.
		The Brahmans discovered the imposture and reduced Charvaka to ashes with the fire of their eyes.
		He probably lived before the composition of the Ramayana, and is perhaps identical with the Charvaka of the Mahabharata.

		Charvakas denied to accept the existence of after-life, rebirth, heaven, hell, soul or god/goddess as those cannot be pursued through direct (perceivable) knowledge.
		Charvakas rejected the existence of soul and logically concluded that offering of obsequial or funeral cake to the deceased soul was simply unnecessary as 'soul' did not have any stomach to digest it.
		Charvakas also argued that if funeral rites could gratify the dead person, then it would also be possible to kindle a extinguished lamp just pouring oil into it.

		This may be termed the Charvaka Philosophy for which modern evidence has recently come to light from Mohenjo-daro and Harappa.
		In this sense, the Charvaka school of thought is aastik rather than naastik.
		The Chaarvaaka's thought is characterised by an insistence on joyful living, in a word "materialism" (sometimes termed "hedonism") often used in a derogatory sense, whereas Buddhism and Jainism are known to emphasise, in a word, pity and penance respectively.

	Spirit of Indian Philosophy by Neria Harish Hebbar, MD
		The six systems of Hinduism (Darshanas) and their sub-systems, Buddhism, Jainism and the materialistic system of the Charvaka are all evidence of the divergent of views of Indian philosophy.
		Accordingly, it is difficult to cite any specific doctrines as the dominant influence in the Indian thought process that developed over four millennia.
		Except in the Charvaka system, all the other systems of philosophy and religion are intimately related and the philosophy is regarded as a spiritual adventure.

		Sudarshan said the Charvaka philosophy, discarded by our people, was being sold back to China, Japan and India.

		MahAkavi shrIharSha does cite the chArvAkas and the mAdhyamikas in his KhanDanakhaNDakhAdya but as the shAnkarI commentary thereon by Shankara Mishra shows, the chArvAkas accept perception and no other means to valid knowledge (pramANa).
		But if you ask a chArvAka, " do you accept perception as a valid means of knowledge", ie.
		The chArvaka treats and believes that things perceived are real, the world is real, there is no after-world, etc. But then he is unwilling to justify his position using reasoning/inference.

		The Charvaka belief denied everything which had been thought so far and also everything which will be thought in India.
		At their time, the Charvaka had quite some adherents.
		However, the Charvaka is important because it allowed critics and non-conservative ideas: it was followed by Jaina and Buddhism teachings.

		I realize this kind of query may reflect an appalling degree of ignorance on my part!
