Vaisheshika (Kanada): The basis of the school's philosophy is that all objects in the physical universe are reducible to a finite number of atoms and Brahman is regarded as the fundamental force that causes consciousness in these atoms.
Vaisheshika system is considered as the realistic and objective philosophy of universe.
The reality according to this philosophy has many bases or categories which are substance, attribute, action, genus, distinct quality and inherence.
Vaisheshika thinkers believe that all objects of the universe are composed of five elements–earth, water, air, fire and ether.
They believe that God is the guiding principle. The living beings were rewarded or punished according to the law of karma, based on actions of merit and demerit.
The Vaisheshika and Nyaya schools eventually merged because of their closely related metaphysical theories (Vaisheshika only accepted perception and inference as sources of valid knowledge).
