  • Lectures on the Cārvāka/Lokāyata (Part I) :
    An Overview of the Cārvāka/Lokāyata Materialism

    CHARVAKA DESK

    This lecture provides an overview of philosophical materialism, examining its foundational tenets and unique emergence within ancient India. It traces the development of Cārvāka/Lokāyata as a systematized, indigenous school, contrasting its empirical epistemology, materialist ontology, and anti-ascetic ethics with Presocratic Greek thought, pre-Cārvāka proto-materialism, and various regional folk-tradition cults.

  • Of Rebirth and Quackery

    NARENDRA NAYAK

    This comprehensive essay refutes rebirth and past life regression therapy as unscientific quackery exploited by media TRP ratings and uncredentialed practitioners. The author exposes biological absurdities, child exploitation cases like Shambhavi, and how reincarnation dogma serves as a deceptive tool to justify social inequalities, caste oppression, and personal misdeeds.
