Abstract

This chapter provides the text of Indian psychology focusing on the concepts of modern psychology. Due to insufficient scientific studies on Indian psychology, there is a strong need to find out unanimous concepts in psychology to break the cultural and individual differences, uncertainty, and instability. This chapter is a small attempt to identify the concepts of modern psychology found in Indian psychology and philosophy. First, the chapter explores the subject of Indian psychology and its short history and then it explores the concepts of modern psychology which are found in the traditional Indian system or Indian psychology. For this, texts such as the Mahabharata, the Bhagvad Gita, Yoga, Veda, Atharva Veda, Ayurveda, Charaka, Shushruta, Upanishads, Jyotisha, Vastu Shastra, Samudrik Shastra, Kaam Shastra and the work of Indian scholars such as Sri Mahesh Yogi, and Aurbindo were explored and discussed. This chapter concludes that there is enough material of modern psychology in traditional Indian texts/ studies/psychology/philosophy to explore and to produce new scientific concepts and to develop a new paradigm.
