Ancient Indian Philosophy encompasses a diverse range of thoughts and ideas that emerged in the Indian subcontinent over thousands of years. It includes various schools of thought, such as Vedanta, Sankhya, and Buddhism, each offering unique perspectives on existence, knowledge, and ethics. These philosophies often explore the nature of reality, the self, and the ultimate purpose of life. Key texts like the Upanishads and the Bhagavad Gita serve as foundational sources, discussing concepts such as dharma (duty), karma (action), and moksha (liberation). Ancient Indian thinkers emphasized the importance of meditation, self-inquiry, and moral living, influencing not only Indian culture but also global philosophical discourse.
