======================================================================== Friday, 23 Jun, 2023. 05:30. Ancient Rishis of Bharatham Kapila Maharishi ====================================================================== Kapila is the name given to different individuals in ancient and medieval texts, of which the best known is the founder of the Samkhya School of Hindu philosophy. Rishi Kapila of Samkhya fame is a Vedic sage, believed to have lived in the 6th or 7th century BCE.

At that time Jairam Ramesh was the minister of state for environment and forests and he had stated, ”India is losing at least 2000 patents every year on traditional formulations as the knowledge on these has never been documented.” I wondered whether the politicians, administrators and academics actually knew where their ancient tradition is documented and what it contains.
