Raikva: The Unseen Reality

Ancient Hindu philosophy that seeks to understand the ultimate reality beyond the physical world.

About Raikva

Raikva is a lesser-known school of Hindu philosophy that emerged during the Gupta period (320-550 CE). It is also known as the "unseen reality" or "the unseen world."

  • Raikva emphasizes the importance of direct experience and intuition over scriptural authority.
  • The philosophy is based on the concept of "raikva," which refers to the ultimate reality that lies beyond the physical world.
  • Raikva is characterized by its rejection of the concept of a permanent, unchanging self (atman).
  • The philosophy emphasizes the importance of self-realization and the attainment of spiritual liberation (moksha).

Key Principles of Raikva

Raikva is based on several key principles, including:

  • The ultimate reality is beyond human comprehension.
  • The world is an illusion, and the true reality lies beyond the physical world.
  • The self is not permanent and is constantly changing.
  • Spiritual liberation is the ultimate goal of human life.
