Abstract

In this modern age, our lives are fully dominated by science and technology. Whatever is proved by science or discovered by science is fully accepted by all the people. They modified their lives according to innovative ideas of science and technology. But very few people are interested in philosophical innovations and like to implement them in their lives. Many people think that Indian philosophical views are outdated and useless for them. In a real sense, people are not aware of the essence of Indian philosophy. Ancient philosophers tried to make our lives better by exploring many philosophical principles, concepts, theories, and ideas concerning the origin of the universe, ultimate truth, and humanity. Classical and medieval philosophers went further deep into the same concepts and found out the correct means of getting valid knowledge. Modern philosophers witnessed many evil practices in Indian cultures and tried to weed them out of society. This study analyzes and synthesizes all the features of Indian philosophy and concludes the adaptive nature of Indian philosophy according to time and need. This will help people understand the purpose of life and modify their activities to achieve the goal of life.
