Abstract

This article aims to study philosophy of Brahmanism-Hinduism. The three important scriptures are the Vedic period, the Rigveda, the Samveda, the Yajurveda, the Atharvaveda, the Brahmana, the Aranyaka and the Upanishad. In the Itihasa period there were two scriptures, the Ramayana and the Mahabharata. The Purana period is the most important for Hinduism. The Purana is divided into the Maha Purana and the Upa Purana. There are 18 scriptures in the Maha Purana: Vishnu Purana, Shiva Purana, Matsaya Purana, Bhakvata Purana, Garuda Purana, Skandha Purana, Brahmantha Purana, Brahma Vai Vora Purana, Bhavisya Purana, Marakande Purana, Akni Purana and Vayu Purana. Padma Purana, Kuram Purana, Brahma Purana, Linga Purana, Varaha Purana, and Vana Purana. The Brahmin-Hindu philosophical system finds six elements characteristic of Hinduism, although these six schools, having different origins and purposes, are united in one system. All of the six viewpoints are divided into two groups: Nyaya Vaisekika, Sangkha, Yoga, and Meemansa Vedanta.
