Mind or Manas is one of the important components discussed in the Darśanas. It is considered as the organ playing an important role in the generation of knowledge, desire, potency, emotions, etc. Almost all Darśanas declare that in the pursuit of liberation or Mokṣa, the mind has to be either controlled or channelised. There are methods prescribed to control the mind. The Consciousness or Caitanyam is also one of the prominent components discussed in the Darśanas. In Vedanta, it is the central theme and in Sānkhyayoga and Nyāya darśanas, the nature of consciousness is discussed at a great length. in this course the students would be introduced to these concepts that are discussed in the Darśanas namely Nyāya, Sāṅkhya, Yoga and Vedānta. Even though other Darśanas also dealt with these concepts they will not be part of this course because of the time constraints.
