ABSTRACT

Samkhya-yoga is the combination of metaphysics and meditation, i.e., attachment and detachment, where the first is how the matter is connected to consciousness and the second is how the matter can be separated from consciousness. In its whole process, one dimension refers to Purusha (pure consciousness) and Prakruti (pure matter), and the second dimension is Jnana- yoga (meditation). On one hand, the mutual interaction of Purusha and Prakruti is the creation of the world (Srishti) that is emphasized by the Samkhya, and on the other hand, the mutual repulsion of both Purusha and Prakruti is the liberation of life (Moksha), which is emphasized by the Patanjali-yoga. So, the beautiful concept of Samkhya-yoga has been discussed in the Bhagavad Gita through Lord Krishna. As a unique feature of being theistic is the great concept of Samkhya-yoga in the Bhagavad Gita. The objective of this study is to explore both the theoretical and practical aspects of Samkhya-yoga's philosophical paradigm as it found in the Shrimad Bhagavad Gita. Keywords: Samkhya-yoga, Jnana-yoga, Srishti, Purusha, Prakruti, Moksha
