Vaisheshika – Exploring Existence & Liberation

Vaisheshika, founded by Maharṣi Kanāḍa, is one of the six major Vedic philosophies that delves into the nature of existence. Unlike other schools, it emphasizes understanding the universe's elements, body, and mind as key to finding happiness in the present world. The ultimate goal is liberation (mokṣa) from mental suffering and achieving lasting bliss (ānanda).
