 Vedanta, Sankhya, Lokayata - Hindu Philosophical Schools   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
The Sankhya system of ideas is thus not entirely theistic as it assumes the existence of both matter and motive power to begin with.
But the Sankhya doctrine displays a dual character which arises from the attempts made to reconcile materialistic logic with the gaps in knowledge (perception)about the nature of the universe.
In this sense the Sankhya doctrine proves inadequate as an intellectual doctrine as compared to another philosophical tradition or doctrine which was known as Lokayata (Derived from "Loka" meaning lay people) and which was thoroughly materialistic.

Philosophically, Sankhya is dualistic in its discernment of the Self (purusha) from the non-self (prakriti).
Even though later Sankhya freely drew from the Vedic-Upanishadic storehouse of wisdom which intimates a rich variety of philosophical views, its earliest concern does not appear to have been philosophical in the sense of delineating a comprehensive conceptual scheme which describes and explains reality.
Whereas Sankhya is one of the most self- sufficient or closed systems, Yoga retains, as a term and in its philosophy, a conspicuously open texture which characterizes all Indian thought at its best.

In some texts, Sankhya denies the existence of a personal supreme deity, and in any case, any concept of deity is regarded as superfluous and potentially self-contradictory, since the working of karma governs man's affairs up to that point where he himself can determine that he should seek liberation.
The four goals of Sankhya are similar to those of Buddhism: to know suffering, from which man must liberate himself; to bring about the cessation of suffering; to perceive the cause of suffering (the failure to discriminate between soul and matter); and to learn the means of liberation, namely, discriminating knowledge.
Like other schools, Sankhya teaches the karmic principle: rebirth is a consequence of one's actions, and salvation is escape from the cycle of rebirths.

The atheist sankhya philosophy as has been stated earlier is a dialectical argument but here in Bhagavad-Gita it is being explained in its original theistic ontology as a dialectical method.

 The end of Sankhya Vahini
AFTER being in a state of suspended animation for nearly two years, Sankhya Vahini, the much-touted communication project to provide a high-speed data transmission backbone over a 10,000 km of optical fibre network, was pronounced dead on November 5.
The project was to be executed by an Indian company Sankhya Vahini India Ltd (SVIL), in which the equity of the CMU and that of the government were both limited to 49 per cent.
While there were some elements of concern in the Sankhya Vahini proposal, all of which could have been addressed had the government been sincere about it, its termination may indeed mean that IT and software industry in India will have to run many times faster just to remain in the spot on the world map.

 Lecture II: The basis of knowledge of the Gita, the Veda, Sankhya, Yoga.
Thus Sankhya philosophy relates as follows: in so far as the soul lives in this differentiation principle, it is attached to the existence of the external world and develops a thirst for this existence.
Thus in the Sankhya philosophy we have a complete presentation of the constitution of man, of how man, as soul, envelopes himself in the past, present and future, in the substantial external nature-principle, whereby not only the external visible is to be understood, but all stages of nature, up to the most invisible.
Yoga is distinguished from Sankhya in that the latter is a real science, a science of external forms, which really only grasps these forms and the different relations of the human soul to these forms.
