ABSTRACT | ||
The
concept of evolution occupies a central yet distinct place in Indian
philosophical traditions, particularly in Sāṅkhya,
Viśiṣṭādvaita Vedānta,
and the integral philosophy of Sri Aurobindo. In Sāṅkhya,
evolution (pariṇāma) is understood as a systematic unfolding of
Prakṛti, driven by the proximity of Puruṣa,
resulting in a hierarchical manifestation from subtle to gross elements. Viśiṣṭādvaita
Vedānta reinterprets evolution as a real
transformation of Brahman, where the universe and individual souls are modes
(prakāra) of a personal, qualified Absolute,
emphasizing divine immanence and teleology. Sri Aurobindo, drawing from both
classical and modern insights, advances a dynamic and spiritualized vision of
evolution, wherein consciousness progressively manifests from matter to life,
mind, and ultimately to the supramental realization. While Sāṅkhya
presents a dualistic and mechanical model, Viśiṣṭādvaita
integrates evolution within a theistic and purposive framework, and Sri
Aurobindo offers a synthesis that is both evolutionary and transcendental. This
comparative study highlights the continuity and transformation of evolutionary
thought within Indian philosophy, revealing a movement from metaphysical
analysis to spiritual teleology and integral realization. | ||
