"THE PRINCIPLES OF SAMKHYA INCLUDE THE PRACTICE OF YOGA, MEDITATION, TOLERANCE, REASON AND LOGIC. HERE NO ONE IS AN OUTCASTE, NO ONE A CHRIST KILLER, NO ONE A SATAN.
"WE BELIEVE IN THE FRATERNITY AND EQUALITY OF ALL OF HUMANKIND, AND LIBERTY FOR EACH ONE OF US PROVIDED THE SAME IS NOT OF HARM TO ANOTHER. WE ACCEPT MEMBERS OF ALL RELIGIONS.
"WE STATE THAT THERE ARE TWO ETERNAL CONSTITUENTS OF ALL THAT IS. WE STATE THAT THERE IS ONE GOD, AND HE IS THE OMNISCIENT SEER PRESENT IN ALL OF US. THAT ONE IS ONE OF THE ETERNAL CONSTITUENTS. WE STATE THAT THE UNIVERSE AND LIFE ITSELF IS AN ATTEMPT BY THE INANIMATE GUNAS(OR PSYCHO SPIRITUAL HUMOURS) TO UNDERSTAND GOD, AND IN SO DOING SO PROVIDING A PLATFORM FOR THE SEER TO OBSERVE, THROUGH LIFE. WE STATE THAT ONLY THE UNIVERSE ITSELF IS WORTHY OF WORSHIP, AS MOTHER, NATURE, PRAKRITI, DEVI. WE ARE ALL CARRYING THE ETERNAL SEER WITHIN US, WHICH WE CALL GOD. GOD IS THE TRUTH, WITHOUT END, OR BEGINNING, BEYOND TIME, CAUSATION, AND DEATH."
Prasenjit Medhi, "Mitra"

If you've ever been shunned by society, 'Chandala's Way' is an argument for still struggling and trying to play an useful role. If you want to be be near perfect in all three areas of life, Kaama, Artha and Dharma: 'Chandala's Way for the Individual', has it all neatly down for you. And how is it that Society can be perfected? 'Chandala's Way for Society', has some handy pointers. All three are linked and are available for free downloads on this site.
NOTE:
The views included in Chandala's Way are the views of Chandala, a fictional outcaste who lives through the ages, from the dawn of Indic civilization all the way through to the modern era, and he sees much of what is good with the Hindu world view, and much which may be improved upon. He suggests changes, in this world view. The views expressed in Chandala's Way are not necessarily the views of the author. As the reader may note, the author chooses to call himself Mitra, or friend to all.

Now the founder of the Samkhya Samaj, or an organization and Society in which the guiding principles are Samkhya Philosophy and Reason and Compassion is a certain Mr. Prasenjit Medhi. He is a thoroughly ordinary guy, but he needs other people to join and to help out bring about a society consisting of people who just like helping other people out, and who interested in being perfect. What exactly is being perfect? It means being happy regardless of one's material position and being concerned primarily for the welfare of others, to put it simply. Thats just the way we are wired, at the Samkhya Samaj. Yep, we are losers. We like it this way!
There seems to be a shortage of people who are genuinely philanthropic in their world view. Or at least that eventually we all get ground down and become part of the global capitalist machine. Now capitalism is not a bad thing. It allows economies to make goods and services at the lowest possible price, great! All we want to do at the Samkhya Samaj is to give up on the best and the brightest bits of what capitalism can produce for us, instead saving up to help other people, by investing our time and money in the Samkhya Samaj, an NGO which consists of people trying to perfect their daily lives and to mold society in a more caring direction.
We want to provide a platform so that those of us who are just happy being 'losers' can devote their time and effort to helping others. If it werent for us 'losers', the 'winners' wouldnt win. Let the so-called winners enjoy their shiny new consumer goods. You can get far more out of being a 'loser'. And what does loser get? Well, happiness, true knowledge and maybe a little bit of respect, from those we help 'win'. And you might just get enlightened along the way. Now you've got to admit that, thats priceless! No promises though regarding the enlightenment bit though! That is something you will have to discover by yourselves! Now, to be honest, making yourself near perfect and on the way to becoming enlightened and helping society along is pretty complicated. So do read the books to find out more ..
Lets get to it!
