User:Charvak

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Charvak was a great sage in hindu mythology who started the philosphy which is similar to hedonism. He is famous for the following shloka

Yada jivam sukham jivait

Rrinam kritva ghritam pivait.


I chose the name because Charvak was the first known atheist(at least in Indian history). Althouth his philosphy was seriously flawed but I like his courage to be an atheist in a society which was deeply religious.
