Abstract
The attitude towards the existence of God varies within the Hindu religious tradition.1 This may not be entirely unexpected given the tolerance for doctrinal diversity for which the tradition is known. Thus of the six orthodox systems of Hindu philosophy only three address the question in some detail. These are the schools of thought known as Nyāya, Yoga and the theistic forms of Vedānta. Among these however the theistic forms of Vedānta assert the existence of God primarily on the basis of scriptural authority2 so that from a philosophical point of view it is the proofs for the existence of God as adduced in Nyāya and Yoga which assume primary importance.KeywordsMoral ArgumentIndian PhilosophyUltimate RealityOntological ArgumentTeleological ArgumentThese keywords were added by machine and not by the authors.
