I found four lectures/videos of this Professor in the internet. They are all excellent. We will all benefit if she makes many more videos on Indian Philosophy as a complete course and starts her own channel.
The presenter is so beautiful and her presentation of word voice and with pitch up and down make people to listen this full lecture with concentration.
Excellent..presentation is very effective..just listen and one is very much clear about the lesson....please upload some videos on Jaun paul satre and his book Nausea..
It’s quite complicated to follow Indian philosophy when we put stories that has zero physical reality (demons , Mahabharata, Ramayana). To me it feels after watching this that all those stories were made in later period by people who like them or dislike them.
@@osculocentric ya, formulas are there to judge the aurhenciry of scriptures, commentaries, etc but thay are sidelined. Cooked stories are taken as proof instead of official sutras. If you're interested links are given in this thread. Do listen.
Those epics are just like the Iliad and the Odyssey, part of the mythological/gods part of the culture. I don't see what it has to do with Indian philosophy.
In which way sir do you think it is good..how can be perception only source to gather knowledge..you cannot see or feel Uv rays but you are exposed to them and you are greatly affected..our senses are imperfect how can we depend on our senses..absolutely absurd philosophy it is like of a guy who just wants to enjoy life in each and every way he desires and doesn't cares for others..and in modern languages such a person is called criminal not a philosopher
@@devshivhare6103 "you cannot see or feel Uv rays but you are exposed to them and you are greatly affected" There are different imaging systems that help see them and observe their effects. Whats being talked about in charvaka is that we should test a theory thru all evidences and experience it for oursleves before believing its the truth. "it is like of a guy who just wants to enjoy life in each and every way he desires and doesn't cares for others" > Charvaka doesnt say to steal from others. Its talks about an overall wellbeing of individual. Thats why their slogans say we need to consume ghee and not alcohol as alcohol might give temporary pleasures but in long run its harmful to body. Charvakas also advocated ethics, with fair and honest trading practices. Like if one person is trading food items with other person, they said the items should be unadulterated and of good quality so our actions dont harm others in any way and even they in return be fair and honest. Over the time their real teachings got distorted as their original works were burnt and destroyed by other people of other philosophy. The only means we know them is by the criticism of their work, which ofcourse would be biased and half truth as the original works no longer exist Charvaka philosophy was suppressed by early priests and brahmands and spread bad rumours about them, they destroyed the original works of charvaka so people dont start question and asking questions and continue paying money to priests for carrying our rituals so they keep getting rich.
@@kartik9892 They take senses as the only way of getting knowledge and we all know our senses are not perfect. You are affected by Uv rays but still you cannot fell the affect they cause to yor cells. And Uv rays being detected by some appliances is an evidence of my statement being true that our senses are not perfect. You cannot rely on just your senses. 1. You Don't even know how many senses you possess in your body the ignorance of mind intelligence and ego as senses is absurd they are a part of our subtle body ignoring them would hinder your spiritual growth..being materialistic only suggest that you are not being spiritual and the major factors affecting the world are not materialistic even the scientists accept this today..you are just in deep ignorance if you consider materials whole and sole of the world. 2. There are two types of people who learn from experience and others who learn from other's experiences and the ones who learns from other experiences is smarter in your age of 70 to 80 you cannot rely on hit and trial method to live your life you need to learn from others experience you can't rely on just your experiences. 3. Role of Guru is very essential in our life one cannot be liberated without a bona-fide guru even if you leave this scriptural fact then too everybody's knows the value of being taught in various fields you cannot even pass 1st standard without a teacher..the fact that the charvaka are smart enough(as they think) is because they have been taught of the basics from the people surrounding them and then they came up with a revolting philosophy..if all were left just to observe by themselves everything in thier life the society would reduce it speed of growth somethings are already known then we are able to keep up further exploration. 3. Athiesm is illogical you are just in ignorance if you are an athiest. If there is a creation there has to be a creator also the process of creation is clearly and flawlessly scripted in the ancient texts but since they are supralogical for our senses and appliances that we currently possess they seem impossible.
@@devshivhare6103 "we all know our senses are not perfect" > Ofcourse they arent, we cant see bacteria virus with our naked eye. But we can under microscope. We also have observed the effect of UV rays on living cell under microscope. And and a charvak today would accept the existence of bacteria, cells, virus, bcoz they can be perceived under a microscope. "Uv rays being detected by some appliances is an evidence of my statement being true that our senses are not perfect." > Not when thousands of scientists around the world reach the same conclusion that UV ray exists. Yes its true senses of some can be distorted and can lead to false results, but not when everyone reaches the same result. It was our senses that were able to understand how nature works and build things like the phone, laptop, internet etc. If you say we cant trust our sense at all, i would disagree. We have reached this far in our civilization bcoz of our ability to perceive thru our sense. If ancient people kept thinking we cant trust our senses we would still be living in jungles without electricity or technology or medicines. "you are just in deep ignorance if you consider materials whole and sole of the world." > No scientist till date has found evidence for existence of a soul. "Athiesm is illogical you are just in ignorance if you are an athiest." > I would say believing in a supernatural god who hasnt revealed itself to people is illogical and blind faith and ignorance of theists. "If there is a creation there has to be a creator" > And who created god if he created this universe?
@@kartik9892 4. scientists also don't know from where did the "singularity" came I the big bang hypothesis..and God is the one who created everything thing if someone or something created GOD than that person or thing is GOD so no one can create GOD. Understand the meaning of word GOD. 3. People are in ignorance HE has revealed HIMSELF time and again..."Yada Yada hi Dharmasya Glanir Bhavti Bhartah Abhudyanam Adharamsya Tadatmanam Srijameham" HE comes time and after..He will not come to your house personally to say hello or telecast a live show..."The fools take me for an ordinary men". HE already said that..and if you say that all this is a myth then read about SHREE CHAITANYA MAHAPRABHU HE I even know in our history books..and His appearance is already spoken off in Many Puranas and other scriptures if all scriptures are myth then how come they are true. 2. No soul proven...everyone has a ego can you perceive it through your senses is it material. No isn't but it exists that means there are things beyond material and thousands of scientists coming on a result is talked about then majority of scientists are not athiest. Ego Mind and Intelligence is our subtle body and they are not gross material but they exist...anything is first made in the mind than in reality as a painter first makes the painting in his mind than on the paper..all this not material..I didn't said that we cannot depend on our senses also..Charvaks are the one who say we should depend only on the senses..you yourself said that senses are not perfect why would you depend "only" on something which is imperfect.Yoi try to fit everything in your logical boundaries that is why for your GOD is illogical..in ancient times talking to someone at a distance of 1000kms was illogical.Your logic depends only on the limited amount of knowledge you have you cannot say that's something you can't comprehend need not to be. ***You just need to know and experience you'll realise HE is there...For me to believe in many things was very difficult and I just thought they were just stories but if you aspire and try you'll experience the same unbelievable experiences..KRISHNA has even played with the devotees...Sakshi GOPAL walked with his devotee to act as witness everyone knows that his Vigrah went to the south India which is difficult to believe but all this has happened...Science is way behind I many things yes we have laptops telephones etc in 2000 years knowledge(materialistic) has increased immensely but Bliss has gone down and tensions and frustrations has increased suicides divorces growing requirements of psychiatrist are all known but people are in ignorance and they think we have become progressive. The function of knowledge is to provide bliss but since there is no bliss that means this knowledge lacks something and that is Spirituality knowledge of Purusa Prakriti Jeeva Kaal Karm is lacking.. We call this environment nature..wander whose nature..nature is someone's nature nature canot be found independent..anger is not independent it is 'someone's' nature..
30:40 Akasa or Ether is not an element. Earth, Water, Fire, Air can be mixed / combined to create something. Ether is not an element hence it can't be used to create any object. What can be created with ether? Space is just the distance between 2 or more elements of the 4 elements. If Ether/Akasha/Space is an element then Time is also an element, which vedic people do not consider as an element. Both Time and Space can't be used to create any object. Time is just duration of change of A->B and Space is the distance between A->B.
If you are trying to debate scientifically, just investigate, the structure of an atom, the base of all materialistic existence, what is its composition, the electron, proton and the neutron are bounded by what exactly for they are not the 100% composition of an atom. Ether/Space is what they are surrounded with, its the intelligence that define which atom does what.

Inference that includes experiences of a seperate entity is not allowed because its not reality to other, observing the very reality is the core point of Charvakas so if the perception is proven wrong with proofs then new knowledge filled with evidences are percieved as Perception
Good preview of the school of thought. However the views of the professor are completely swayed with the idealistic presumptions. Taking the texts of the opponent philosophers such as Sarvadarsana Samgraha to explain Charvaka philosophy will be wrong. Debiprasad Chathopadhyaya in his famous book Lokayata has abundantly trashed the outlook put by Madhava. It will be highly wrong to assume that charvakas believed in on two of the four purusharthas is a joke as they have already trashed the philosophical schemes of Brahmins as a whole. Further they have never completely denied the validity of anumana whereas they believed in causation coming out of perceptible material world. Ramakrishna Bhattacharya will be a better reference.

Could someone please me enlighten what words Dr. Prabhakar says at these times: 5:42 "The Brahmins, on regaining the stability of their mind, told Yudhishthira that he should get distraught or upset by the words of a [?] a demon in disguise." 6:05 "The battle of Kurukshetra was not fought for any personal gains and that the Kauravas and others were killed because they were on the side of [?] Thank you.

Few sutras are there directly or in codified way in the authentic upanishads. Books are there but people like cooked stories more.

So, basically Carvaka philosophy advocates hedonism? 'A small element of spirituality was introduced in it just to give it a clean image', she says - strange, if true!
Well, that's not really true. Chaarvaaks have been strawmanned for the last more than 2500 years. There is no evidence for the claim that they were Hedonists. The original teachings of the Chaarvaaks are not available. We only have secondary sources, written by their opponents. That's why, they are not trustworthy ...

I don't have read too much of charvaka. Someday I'll be back with much information. But as far as I've read, they vary even amongst fellow charvak. Some charvaks were like rin leke ghee piyo paise mat do. Some had very good view points on ethics. Speaking of metaphysics. There is instance where rishi jabal discards shraddha system, lok parlok infront of Ram. He deconstructs the concept of shraddha and stuff. So they were essentially nastik and atheistic both. Neither did they believe in vedic terminologies. But ethic part varied from person to person, charvak has some messed up ethical standards too. Most of asuri philosophy seems to mirror charvak, live and enjoy the present , consume everything and when you die give no cares.
Im not into any philosophy,but i disagree how she know human consciousness is rational one but animals consciousness is not.So on what basis without having the body of specific animal,knows what they think rationalise etc or not,have u experience what they are experiencing,how u know ur thought process greater than them n vice versa...again it just based on your own fallacy.Why the need of charvaka,a,b,c,d,e...brand the thought or to get identified with?That implies that even i have the right to reject this philosophy,that also leads to another one to reject what i perceived and it goes.... So......?You also can reject everything even your ownself whatever body soul no soul words philosophy etc...

@@AkshayChaitanya sorry i have done so much of studies,i know the philosophical spectrum of all traditions,even u need to know the most ancient tradition in south india in the name of Ajivika-Aseevaham.As long as there is brutal manipulation of voiceless living beings on the earth,no peace will be attained.Where gone the empathy?Mankind just another selfish being without knowing the true nature,for the record straight even other voiceless living beings way compassionate than human.All these word-juggling of one who had perceived something,is useless without knowing the real nature of this existence.Im good.dont worry about me,rather im educating others now,and ill educate u too..since u still far off.
@@empathycompassion6157 true, Akshay always welcome healthy discussion. The sutras of established schools of Indian philosophy were scattered in authentic Vedic literature and later separated for studies. All are alive within and outside the body. The consciousness is experienced with or without attributes following a chronological inner growth. Study, reasoning and experience is the formula. Word game concept goes both ways. Schools never forces or tries to overpower others. Followers vision is another issue. To support or reject body level one needs a body. And Indian philosophy or Darshan teaches balanced approach between behavior and spiritualism. The attitude towards other creatures falls in domain of rituals, rites, customs in short commercialized karma Kanda and economics. Sudy of Darshan for livelihood, rejecting or moving towards truth - depends on case to case.
Actually according to bori critical edition the most authentic version of the Mahabharata available the scholars said that guy was not charvaka actually charvaka also has other definitions in Sanskrit charvaka also meant beautiful according to the Sanskrit scholars at bharkandar institute
Great citations. Balanced summary. Charvakas irreverance to established order of the day needn't be construed as crude. Charvaka rebuttals remind me of mulla nasruddin quips!
very biased against charvakas. you shouldn't see or judge charvakas from opponent sources. Its like learning about indias in Kashmir dispute in Pakistans madarasa school.
Freud, Marx , new ingenuity of science can be answer for carvaka's weakness! Then Carvaka will be redefined! Like emotions can be explained in terms hormonal activities & electric surge!
Cooked stories aren't the parameter for any Darshan. Decoded sutras of #charvakaphilosophy are more valuable than the stories.

5:42 "The Brahmins, on regaining the stability of their mind, told Yudhishthira that he should get distraught or upset by the words of a [?] a demon in disguise."
6:05 "The battle of Kurukshetra was not fought for any personal gains and that the Kauravas and others were killed because they were on the side of [?]
Thank you.
she didnt say "should get". she said clearly "should not get"
I agree- my typo. But I was wondering what word the Professor uses to refer to the demon. Thx
@Harveer sandhu Thanks for your most helpful reply.
@@martinmorgan7808 i would request u to check "neelakesi'' book in classical Tamil language, written some 2K to 1K year before... Here the jain monkess Neelakesi debates with multiple school of thoughts and finally debates with lokayata monk who is called "pisasagan'' meaning demon or Satan... Infact sathanar or Satan is a common name for these atheists philosophers in Tamil... !!
Hope now u understand why in Abrahamic religion Satan is the person who is depicted evil force who drives people away from faith!!
@@aivukoodam Thank you. I definitely will.
Charvaak philosophy is to be Top.
Followed by Buddha
followed by Vedanta
Dr Carl Sagan please listen
Where can I find books on this topic in Delhi?
Dr. Monica, I would like to invite you to my podcast on the similarities and differences between Charvaka philosophy and Communist philosophy today. I do not know any other means to communicate with you.
Superb lecture
Thanks
IT SHOWS CHARVAAKA WAS NOT ONLY KILLED EVEN THE TREATISE LIKE BRIHASPATYA SUTRA OR LOKAYATA SASTRA ARE DESTROYED
Few sutras are there directly or in codified way in the authentic upanishads. Books are there but people like cooked stories more. Charvaka philosophy

Good .
Her voice is ethereal and seductive
So, basically Carvaka philosophy advocates hedonism? 'A small element of spirituality was introduced in it just to give it a clean image', she says - strange, if true!
Well, that's not really true. Chaarvaaks have been strawmanned for the last more than 2500 years. There is no evidence for the claim that they were Hedonists. The original teachings of the Chaarvaaks are not available. We only have secondary sources, written by their opponents. That's why, they are not trustworthy ...
@@DipayanPyne94 yes. Infact a lot of what krishna says in geeta is kinda charvaak in essence. Sankhya and stuff too but majority charvak.
Excellent......you almost converted me to a Carvaka
LoL man chill
You dont have to fall into any brand,it just my thought your thought thing...
Nice very helpful
Bahut bahut abaar mam....

Can someone please provide me answer of the following question..

First you must be familiar with the decoded official sutras of #charvakaphilosophy. Charvaka philosophy

Your Q is addressed in short in the playlist and briefly in the books.
I don't have read too much of charvaka. Someday I'll be back with much information. But as far as I've read, they vary even amongst fellow charvak. Some charvaks were like rin leke ghee piyo paise mat do. Some had very good view points on ethics. Speaking of metaphysics. There is instance where rishi jabal discards shraddha system, lok parlok infront of Ram. He deconstructs the concept of shraddha and stuff. So they were essentially nastik and atheistic both. Neither did they believe in vedic terminologies. But ethic part varied from person to person, charvak has some messed up ethical standards too. Most of asuri philosophy seems to mirror charvak, live and enjoy the present , consume everything and when you die give no cares.
I've done my assignment on this topic but I forgot everything
Im not into any philosophy,but i disagree how she know human consciousness is rational one but animals consciousness is not.So on what basis without having the body of specific animal,knows what they think rationalise etc or not,have u experience what they are experiencing,how u know ur thought process greater than them n vice versa...again it just based on your own fallacy.Why the need of charvaka,a,b,c,d,e...brand the thought or to get identified with?That implies that even i have the right to reject this philosophy,that also leads to another one to reject what i perceived and it goes....
So......?You also can reject everything even your ownself whatever body soul no soul words philosophy etc...
Charvaka took body as soul. आत्मा परमात्मा

The way it is presented it seems rejecting game.
@@AkshayChaitanya sorry i have done so much of studies,i know the philosophical spectrum of all traditions,even u need to know the most ancient tradition in south india in the name of Ajivika-Aseevaham.As long as there is brutal manipulation of voiceless living beings on the earth,no peace will be attained.Where gone the empathy?Mankind just another selfish being without knowing the true nature,for the record straight even other voiceless living beings way compassionate than human.All these word-juggling of one who had perceived something,is useless without knowing the real nature of this existence.Im good.dont worry about me,rather im educating others now,and ill educate u too..since u still far off.
@@empathycompassion6157 true, Akshay always welcome healthy discussion. The sutras of established schools of Indian philosophy were scattered in authentic Vedic literature and later separated for studies. All are alive within and outside the body. The consciousness is experienced with or without attributes following a chronological inner growth. Study, reasoning and experience is the formula. Word game concept goes both ways. Schools never forces or tries to overpower others. Followers vision is another issue. To support or reject body level one needs a body. And Indian philosophy or Darshan teaches balanced approach between behavior and spiritualism. The attitude towards other creatures falls in domain of rituals, rites, customs in short commercialized karma Kanda and economics.
Sudy of Darshan for livelihood, rejecting or moving towards truth - depends on case to case.
@@AkshayChaitanya we need to see see and treat all living beings equally,man just another species...
@@empathycompassion6157kudos for saying that. Will wait for your lesson (as you said you educate) in the channel named akshay chaitanya.
👍👌
I think Pandvas were wrog to kill Charvaka and were not democratic and your value judgement on Mahabharat war is questionable. We need charvaka.
Actually according to bori critical edition the most authentic version of the Mahabharata available the scholars said that guy was not charvaka actually charvaka also has other definitions in Sanskrit charvaka also meant beautiful according to the Sanskrit scholars at bharkandar institute
Great citations. Balanced summary. Charvakas irreverance to established order of the day needn't be construed as crude. Charvaka rebuttals remind me of mulla nasruddin quips!
very biased against charvakas. you shouldn't see or judge charvakas from opponent sources. Its like learning about indias in Kashmir dispute in Pakistans madarasa school.
I always considered myself Carvaka
What is the authenticity of your lecture.
Freud, Marx , new ingenuity of science can be answer for carvaka's weakness!
Then Carvaka will be redefined!
Like emotions can be explained in terms hormonal activities & electric surge!
Madam, you started off interestingly but very soon went into your own judgements based on religious texts and myths, even as given truth. Pity.
Trying to justify her own beliefs.
@@osculocentric right.
Cooked stories aren't the parameter for any Darshan. Decoded sutras of #charvakaphilosophy are more valuable than the stories.

Just trying to complete the syllabus is one thing and expertise is another.
Thoda speed badhao yaar...
Watch this in 2 speed
please adopt some good way to explain communicate instead just reading a good book , which actually it seems after watching vedio.

Madam looks charvaka of food.
