	Darshana - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A darshana (or darśana) means a Hindu school of philosophy from the Shat (Astik) Darshana or Six Hindu Schools.
		Each darshana was presented by one canonical author in the form of sutras (aphorisms) which became the obligatory point of reference for further commentary and development of the viewpoint.
		Western schools of philosophy are often seen in conflict with one another – for example, Platonists and Aristotelians, rationalists and empiricists, etc. – whereas the darshanas of Hinduism, despite often presenting contrasting articulations, are inspired by an at least implicit unity.

		The Darshana scriptures are considered to be Manuals of Philosophy.
		It is interesting to note that some of these darshanas do not place belief in the existence God as the central ruler or controller or creator of the world.
		Hence tradition divided these six darshanas into three categories: the asthika (those who believe in god), the nasthika (those who do not believe in god) and dwaishtika (or those who believe in fate or destiny).

	Shad Darshana by Neria Harish Hebbar, MD
		While Agama literature is theological, the Darshana literature is philosophical and logical.
		The Ithihasa (Ramayana and Mahabharata) and Puranas are for the masses appealing to their hearts whereas the Darshanas are for the scholars appealing to their intellects.
		All six are equally valid ways of salvation and are divided into three groups of two each and are thought to be complimentary to each other.

		Chakravarti, M.A., I.E.S. (Retd.) Of all the Indian Darshanas, Jainism is the only one which has the principle of Ahimsa as its central doctrine.
		The other Darshanas also speak of Ahimsa whenever convenient but they never offer such loyalty whenever convenient but they never offer such loyalty tot he principle of Ahimsa as is found in Jainism.

		Sankhya and Yoga Darshanas (philosophies) believe in infinite souls, but according to them should named `Purush' is a steadfast substance unchangeable in the three phases of time, and hence not bearing charges of different knowledge, death, birth, bondage, deliverance etc., i.e.
		It is both knowledge incarnate itself, and a supporting substance also of knowledge; and it is different from, as well as in the form of, knowledge.
		The Jain Darshana which adopts the non-absolute but the relative (Anekant) point of view, (the relative aspect, vision) believes the soul in all these mutually alternate forms.

		The darshanas are philosophical systems meant to be complement rather than compete with each other.
		Together they form the six schools of orthodox Hindu thought that had evolved by the end of the 4th century, but only a few of them are still active in modern Hinduism, since they developed out of each other, tending to make previous darshanas somewhat obsolete.
		They are traditionally arranged in three pairs, each divided into sub-schools.

		Of all the Indian Darshanas, Jainism is the only one which has the principle of Ahimsa as its central doctrine.
		In this respect Jainism differs from other Darshanas, some of which emphasize only faith, some emphasize knowledge and some emphasize conduct.
		By repentance, by chasing away from the mind ill-begotten pleasures, by teaching others, one learns to follow the commandments and to walk the Inner Way.
