Indian philosophy is divided into seven systems, which attempts to answer the most basic philosophical inquiries.
These important questions are:
1. Who am I? From where have I come and why have I come? What is my relationship with the manifold universe and other human beings?
2. What is the essential nature of my being, what is the essential nature of the manifested world and its causes?
3. What is the relationship of the center of consciousness and the objects of the world?
4. What is the nature of the forms and names of the objects of the world and how do they serve the essential nature of man or universal consciousness?
5. What are the guidelines for action as long as we live in the natural body? Do we live after death?
6. What is truth and how do we arrive at rational conclusions on questions of truth?
The seven systems of Indian philosophy which addresses themselves to these issues are Vedanta, Yoga, Sankhya, Vaisheshika, Mimamsa, Nyaya and Buddhism.
