	Samkhya - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Its philosophy regards the universe as consisting of two eternal realities: purusha and prakrti ; it is therefore a strongly dualist and enumerationist philosophy, characterized by a worldview that sees the universe as an evolving mixture of distinct dualities (light/dark, male/female, etc).
		They are the silent spectators of prakrti (matter or nature), which is composed of three gunas (dispositions): satva, rajas and tamas (steadiness, activity and dullness).
		This disturbance is due to the proximity of Purusha and prakrti.

	Prakrti (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Prakrti in mythology is personified as a goddess or cosmic energy, Shakti, the female counterpart of every god.
		In Vedanta, prakrti is synonymous with cosmic manifestation, hence as appearance,
		As such, prakrti is composed of three gunas (Sanskrit, "strands") or constituent modes that, not in equilibrium, combine to generate all other material principles ( tattva), intellect ( buddhi), ego (ahamkara), mind ( manas), the five sense capacities, the five action capacities, the five subtle elements, and the five gross elements.

	Samkhya Theory of Matter
		Prakrti is one, not only in the formal sense of being the all-inclusive set of all jada things, but also in the sense that it is one causal system.
		Every phenomenon in Prakrti is an admixture of all the three kinds of gunas, and the proportions in which they are blended in it determine its character.
		Prakrti in its original state exists as an entity which was totally devoid of any specific character.

		When Prakrti is dormant in cosmic consciousness, no indriyas (sense or motor organs) exist, for cosmic consciousness is infinite or ananta and there is nothing beyond or outside It for which the indriyas are required.
		When the a'tman is influenced by Prakrti it becomes vikrta or distorted, and the eight forms become sixteen in number, called sodas'a vikrti: the Citta (antahkaran'a vahihkanan'a), the ten indriyas, and the five tanmantras.
		It is created by Prakrti and is thus under the influence of Prakrti; yet it tries to escape from the influence of Prakrti, not knowing that Prakrti is its creator, and escaping Her influence would mean destroying Prakrti and also itself with Her.

	Spirtitual Philosophy of Shrii Anandamurtijii
		Prakrti here is said to be anucchu'nya', and Brahma here is objectless, because there is no question of subjectivation (feeling of Doer "I") or objectivation (feeling of done "I"), and therefore Brahma is called nirgun'a, "beyond all the attributes" of Prakrti.
		Prakrti is called Kaos'ikii because She is the cause of origin of different kos'as which are formed later on in the process of evolution.
		Prakrti is active from ka'mabiija to the kala' and is called Bhaeravii in the na'da stage, and Purus'a is termed Bhaerava.

	Amazon.ca: Books: Prakrti in Samkhya-Yoga: Material Principle, Religious Experience, Ethical Implications (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Prakrti is one of the central metaphysical principles in the religious traditions of Hinduism, especially in the very influential Samkhya and Yoga traditions.
		Prakrti in the Samkhya and Yoga systems is the ultimate material principle and thus the substratum (dharmin) from which manifest, in the presence of the self (purusa), the gross and subtle bodies including the mental organs of all living beings from the leaf of grass to the powerful gods.
		This book investigates a religious experience called 'merging with prakrti' (prakrtilaya), which has been neglected in previous studies, but is described in the Samkhya and Yoga texts and constitutes an important aspect of the religious understanding of the material principle.

		Prakrti or Operative Principle, not being all-pervading, is sheltered in Purusa.
		It is now abundantly clear that even though Prakrti is free to make honest use of her acquired power, the attainment or non-attainment of this power depends on Purusa or Citi-Shakti (Consciousness) and so we have to say, Prakrti is but the characteristic of Purusa Himself--Shakti sa shivasya shaktih.
		And so the fact of Prakrti being the causal entity of the stream of action and thought will be recognised only when She completely identifies herself with objectivity.

	Primer
		Prakrti affects the metamorphosis of Purus'a into form through the agency of the three gun'as - or binding principles, or operative forces - of which she is composed.
		Within Sagun'a Brahma, Prakrti is continuously creating forms from the field of consciousness which has come within the sphere of her influence due to having been encompassed within a triangular matrix of the gun'as, or within the progenitrix of Creation.
		Due to the continued clash and cohesion in the tension between Prakrti and Purus'a in prati-saincara, a portion of physical substance is subtlified beyond the five fundamental factors to become ectoplasm, or mind-stuff.

		Prakrti is considered to be in a state of dormancy when its three attributes are in perfect equilibrium.
		But the stability of Prakrti like any other object or any society means that the forces inherent in it are in a state of equilibrium, none becoming dominant over the others, all being equally active and the activities of each force being harmonious with the activities of the others.
		Prakrti is truly the inherent nature of the Supreme Being with the drive to become the world and also to return to the Supreme Being.

		Prakrti is inert and is wholly devoid of consciousness.
		The distinctive quality of Prakrti is that she is active, although she has neither consciousness nor knowledge.
		It is because of the dynamic, active nature of Prakrti.

		The binding principles of prakrti continue to transform the consciousness and the development of animate beings is accomplished in this process.

		Prakrti is better conceived of as force or power rather than a specific material object.
		In the primal Prakrti these three forces are in perfect equilibrium, each perfectly balancing the others, and the two principles of Purusha and Prakrti are distinct, separate and alone.
		Although for the Samkhyas prakrti undergoes real transformations, the primary problem is epistemological, that is, how one comes to know things, rather than ontological, or rooted in the nature of things themselves.

	The Hare Krsnas - The Philosophy - Absolute Truth - Prakrti, the Material Nature
		Prakrti is the mother, and the Supreme Personality of Godhead is the father.
		Brahma was generated from rajo-guna of prakrti, or the mode of passion in nature, and Visnu became the Lord of the mode of goodness.
		By such illusory action of prakrti, even dead matter is caused to move by the cooperation of living energy of the Lord, and the material world appears like a dramatic performance to the ignorant eyes.

	CREATION AND DISSOLUTION
		Purusa and Prakrti are subject and object in that the light of Purusa effects the transformational change on Prakrti.
		This pluripotential Prakrti consists of gunas: Sattva, Rajas, and Tamas which are inseparable and form a complex (Sattva-Rajas-Tamas complex), which is inert, if it is in a state of equilibrium.
		The twenty-four principles derived from Prakrti, the Maya, the Karman (action) and the three gunas (Sattva, Rajas, and Tamas) are the noose and the fetters of Pasupati, who only can liberate the Pasus from fetters, which are ignorance, egotism, desire, aversion, attachment to mundane existence (Avidya, Asmita, Raga, Dvesa, Abhinivesa).

	Spiritual Structure
		This is the first stage in the crystalization process, in which Prakrti is encircling Purusa with her forces, but although Purusa is no longer unaffected by the gunas, he still controls them.
		These forces of Prakrti struggle always for dominance, until at some point there is an imbalance in the equilibrium of the triangluar matrix and a resultant force erupts from one of the vertices.
		Prakrti acts through three forces, the gunas, which serve to bind Saguna Brahma and to produce the manifest universe.

		The most significant difference is that the Yoga school not only incorporates the concept of Ishvara (a personal God) into its metaphysical worldview, which the Samkhya does not, but also upholds Ishvara as the ideal upon which to meditate.
		This is because Ishvara is the only purusha that has never become entangled with prakrti.
		The Yoga system lays down elaborate prescriptions for gradually gaining physical and mental control and mastery over the personal self, until one's consciousness has intensified sufficiently to allow awareness of one's real Self (as distinct from one's feelings, thoughts and actions).

		The cosmos is contained in 24 "tattvas" ["thatnesses" or principles or categories] of which Prakrti is one- Prakrti is indeed the first of these and it has the name of"pradhana".
		Similarly, though Purusa is by himself, Prakrti is activated as a consequence of its vitality.
		Similarly, Prakrti which has no jnana carries Purusa who is full of jnana, but Prkrti without jnana is behind all affairs of the world.

		Once the prakRti is formed, it cannot be changed throughout the life.
		While Ayurveda gives a lot of importance to the determination of prakRti, it also asserts that prakRti is only of the diagnostic factors that the physician should use to understand the state of health or ill-health of an individual.
		Basing an assessment of prakRti on just a few factors can misguide the individual and hence it is important to always go by the assessment of the physician who may at times, decide not to reveal your prakRti to you.
