 | | Alongside the Carvakas existed a philosophy propounded by Makkahali Gosala believed by many to be a Renegade disciple of the Jaina saint Mahavira. | | | The Carvakas did not believe in the authority of the Vedas or any other scripture. | | | The astika or orthodox schools which believe in the sanctity of the Vedas are six in number; Samkhya, Yoga, Nyaya, Vaisesika, Vedanta and Mimamsa. |

| | Ralph Dumain: "The Autodidact Project": Debiprasad Chattopadhyaya: Lokayata |
| | Carvaka, being only a demon in disguise was of course the typical myth with which people were sought to be scared of the materialistic philosophy. | | | But then the other Brahmins regained their senses and told the king that this Carvaka, was only a demon in disguise. | | | Their contention rather is that the text represents the view of one branch of the Carvaka school which deviated from the 'orthodox' materialism of the Carvakas and developed the tattvopaplava‑vada. |

| | Carvaka -- Britannica Concise Encyclopedia - The online encyclopedia you can trust! |
| | Although Carvaka doctrine had disappeared by the end of the medieval period, its onetime importance is confirmed by the lengthy attempts to refute it found in both Buddhist and orthodox Hindu philosophical texts, which also constitute the main sources for knowledge of the doctrine. | | | On the whole, Materialism is contrary to the spirit of both Indian and traditional Chinese philosophy, though the Carvaka school of Materialists flourished from the 6th century BC until medieval times in India. | | | Of the recognized means of knowledge (praman), the Carvaka recognized only direct perception (anubhava). |

| | There are three heterodox schools, which opposed the classic Vedic texts: Buddhism, Jainism, and Carvaka (a form of Hindu materialism). | | | The remaining six systems are the orthodox schools, which did not contest the ancient teachings of the Vedas, although some, such as Yoga, invented new means to the accepted ends. | | | Both Buddhism and Jainism tend toward religious systems, and we have few primary works from Carvaka. |

| | Indian Philosophy |
| | The Carvaka school, a classical school of materialism and skepticism, is known for its attacks on religious practices, and, from a Western perspective, provides evidence that not all classical Indian philosophy is religiously or mystically oriented. | | | Indian classical philosophers weave numerous variations on such views into their overall stances, including Buddhist, Vedantic, Logic, and Carvaka views. | | | There is comparatively little original philosophy still being written in Sanskrit. |

| | Jainism and Buddhism, along with a school of materialists called Carvaka, were regarded as the unorthodox darsanas, because they taught that the Vedas and Upanisads, and hence the brahman caste, had no authority. | | | Their schools of thought, since they respected the authority of the Vedas and Upanisads, were known as orthodox darsanas (which means literally, ‘views’). |

| | Barring the Carvaka's materialistic school, every other school has concentrated not just on "the spiritual way of life in the here-and-now", but on the "eventual spiritual salvation of man in relation to the universe". | | | However, notwithstanding the centrality of its spiritual concerns, Indian philosophy has not altogether glossed over materialism; rather "it has known it, overcome it, and has accepted idealism as the only tenable view" - whatever specific form that idealism might take: mythological, popular or technical. |

| | Ethics of Hindu Philosophy by Sanderson Beck |
| | Even in India, where spiritual ideas dominate the culture, there were some who were skeptical of those ideals and held to a materialist view of the world; they were called Carvaka, and their doctrine that this world is all that exists is called Lokayata. | | | The materialists did not believe in an afterlife and found sense perception to be the only source of knowledge, denying the validity of inference or general concepts. | | | Those who did not recognize this authority were the Jains, Buddhists, and materialists. |

| | The Buddhists, who are called nihilists because they do not admit the existence of anything permanent, much less of a permanent self, have still to engage themselves in finding out the nature of consciousness, which they ultimately consider to be of a fleeting nature. | | | In India it was known as the Atmavidya, the supreme science or knowledge as distinguished from Aparavidya, which was concerned with the knowledge of other material things. | | | But we forget that even the Carvaka, who are known as materialists, are engaged in explaining the fact of the consciousness and this they do in terms of the material body. |

| | Going back to my first point: let's say I read in a Carvaka book (not that I would ever waste my time on such things) that Sankara allowed his disciples to engage in extramarital sexual affairs without restriction. | | | So, I am saying that others should give the same respect to Ramanuja. | | | The burden of proof should be on the Carvaka, and I certainly would not accept stray English translations of verses allegedly attributed to Sankara when no verse numbers or other references were provided. |
