1. darsana

   Darsana, also spelled as Darśana, is a term originating in classical Indian philosophy referring to a discipline or viewpoint concerning ultimate truth and reality. The term is derived from the Sanskrit root 'drś', meaning 'to see'. In broad terms, it can refer to philosophical perspectives, teachings, or religions. There are traditionally six major darsanas in Hindu philosophy: Nyaya, Vaisheshika, Sankhya, Yoga, Mimamsa and Vedanta. Each offers a specific viewpoint regarding matters related to truth, knowledge, consciousness, and the nature of existence.

1. Darśana

   Darśan or Darshan is a Sanskrit term meaning "sight", vision, apparition, or glimpse. It is most commonly used for "visions of the divine" in Hindu worship, e.g. of a deity, or a very holy person or artifact. One could "receive" darshana or blessing of the deity, or from a great saintly person, such as a great guru. In the sense "to see with reverence and devotion," the term translates to hierophany, and could refer either to a vision of the divine or to being in the presence of a highly revered person. In this sense it may assume a meaning closer to audience. "By doing darshan properly a devotee develops affection for God, and God develops affection for that devotee." Darshan is ultimately difficult to define, since it is an event in consciousness—an interaction in presence between devotee and God/guru; or between devotee and image or sculpture, which focuses and calls out the consciousness of the devotee. In either event, a heightening of consciousness or spirituality is the intended effect.
