Traditional Indian Personality Concepts and the Unrealised Potential for Paradigm Shift

Radha Krishna Naidu

Centre of Advanced Study in Psychology, University of Allahabad, Allahabad

A brief description of the Samkhya view of buman personality is presented to bighlight the power and flexibility of this transpersonal approacb to accountfor a very wide range of psychological phenomena. It is pointed out that the non-emergence of this "wide- band"transpersonal approacb in modern Indian psychology is a bistorical enigma and the likely reasons for this paradox are discussed. Finally the dual epistemic status (descriptions and inferences) of the traditional Indian transpersonal statements is pointed out.
