Darsana means ‘sight’. Darsana promotes the sight or experience of the Truth. The Darsanas are well known. They have been propounded by vision-blessed sages. Samkhya Darsana was established by Kapila. The Nyaya Darsana was authored by Gautama; the Vaisheshika by Kanaada, the Purva Mimamsa by Jaimini and the Uttar Mimamsa by Veda Vyasa. Among these, Kapila and Vyasa are believed by the sages to be partial embodiments of Vishnu Himself. The Brahma sutra of Veda Vyasa is the text that has confirmed and consolidated the Uttara Mimamsa.
