| Resumo: | Salvation (moksha) and liberation (mukti) are often 'conceived as the goals of religious yearning and philosophical search of the humans. While the former stresses the eschatological end, the latter looks into the existential situation from which one is to be liberated.

The Scholars who have an ethnocentric atitude think that the Sanskrit religious tradition is the great tradition because it is 'intellectual, mystical, classical and 'higher' philosophy, and the oral as the little tradition. |
