Later school of Nyaya philosophy founded by Kanada. (Glossary for the Vahinis)

The Vaisheshika philosophy explores the world of atoms and concludes the truth about matters. Vaisheshika philosophy upholds the permanence of the individual soul, nature and matter and for this god is the Adhara. The exponent of the Vaisheshika system propounded that the universe is made of atoms, but no two atoms are the same. Vaisheshika philosophy propounded the unity and harmony and not discord. The Vaisheshika system of philosophy unravels the mysteries of the inner world and bares the secrets of creation. As the tiny seed contains a tree with all the twigs, branches, fruits and flowers in it, every atom contains in it the entire creation. The Vaisheshika philosophy explains how the macrocosm is contained in the microcosm. (SSB 1993, pp. 75-78)
