" Moksha in Indian Philosophy and IGBO Philosophy "

Abstract

A key idea in Indian philosophy, moksha represents the ultimate purpose of life, which is to break free from the cycle if birth and death. Moksha applicability and relevance in the quickly changing modern world have attracted a lot of attention. Identity crises, existential quandaries, and social pressures are some of the issues that modern civilization must deal with. These issues make it unclear how the desire for Moksha fits into modern society. People are looking for personal fulfillment, meaning, and purpose as technology develops and society standards change. This research explores the idea of Moksha or its meanings with the intention of being a useful tool for people looking for health, growth, and interaction with the outside world.In IGBO society, Moksha is comparable to the idea of Chii, signifying a person personal deity or spiritual mentor. Achieving Chi balance is a prerequisite for spiritual development and fulfillment. This study demonstrates the ways in which IGBO cultural traditions, traditional artistic expressions, and spiritual beliefs support the community knowledge of and pursuit of Moksha-like emancipation. The artwork examines how spiritual advancement and cultural identity merge in IGBO culture by fusing futuristic elements with cosmic images. Ethereal colors and luminous highlights, along with dynamic shapes and patterns affected by IGBO fabrics or ceramics, represent the sublime condition of spiritual emancipation.This fusion highlights a chance of Moksha-like ideas in IGBO culture to promote transformation on both individual and community levels, encouraging reflection on the plethora of opportunities for freedom and self-discovery. These cultural practices; effects on social cohesiveness, spiritual fulfillment, and individual well-being highlight the eternal value of these ideas in a contemporary setting. The concept of Moksha, a profound and timeless notion within Indian philosophy, has been revered for centuries as the ultimate goal of human existence, symbolizing liberation from the cycle of birth and death (Radhakrishnan, 1996). In our rapidly evolving modern world, the contemporary relevance and applicability of Moksha have sparked increasing interest and inquiry. Contemporary society presents individuals with challenges such as identity crises, existential dilemmas, and societal pressures, igniting curiosity about how the pursuit of Moksha aligns with the intricacies of modern life (Olivelle, 1998). As societal norms rapidly change and technology advances, individuals grapple with questions of meaning, purpose, and personal fulfillment (Radhakrishnan, 1953). This study explores the concept of Moksha and its potential implications in order to provide a valuable resource for people seeking wellness, enrichment, and engagement with the world. It also pursues to integrate insights from classical Indian texts and contemporary perspectives on human psychology and well- being to explore the multifaceted nature of Moksha. The synthesis of traditional wisdom with modern understanding will provide valuable insights into the enduring relevance of Moksha and its potential to enrich the human experience (Smith, 2005).
