LOKAYAT
http://lokayatpune.wordpress.com/
Lokayat is actually a thought process that has existed in India since Vedic times. Lokayat is a vision of life that rejects fatalism, is uncompromisingly rationalist, realist. Life must be lived to the full, in the best possible way. All problems are man-made; one should face them, and not run away from them. This is the inspiration that Lokayati thought gives us. We accept this tradition. Hence the name of this forum, Lokayat.
