Prakriti is the fundamental principle of the universe in Samkhya philosophy, representing the material cause of all existence.

Purusha is the observer, the active principle, the conscious principle, while Prakriti is the observed, the passive principle, and the unconscious principle.

The three gunas of Prakriti are Sattva (goodness, purity, light), Rajas (passion, activity, energy), and Tamas (darkness, inertia, ignorance).

Prakriti evolves into the universe through a process of evolution, in which the three gunas interact and combine to form the various elements and objects of the world.

The goal of Samkhya philosophy is to achieve liberation from the cycle of rebirth, to understand the nature of reality, and to attain spiritual enlightenment.

Kapila is considered the founder of Samkhya philosophy.

The Samkhya Karika is the main text of Samkhya philosophy.

Samkhya philosophy and Yoga philosophy are two different aspects of the same philosophy.
