Ancient Indian Philosophy Carvaka (Charvak) beliefs

Sensory perception and subjective experience is the only reliable source of knowledge, Will not accept speculations, inference, intuition, testimony, scriptural ...etc
No life after death
No Hell and Heaven
There is no supreme being or god
A soul separate from the body doesn't exist. The body itself is the soul.
Natural Elements and Events came from nature, not from god
Rejection of Holy scriptures (including vedas)
Rejection of Religious rites and rituals
Rejection of Dharma and Moksha
Rejection of Caste system
Rejection of ritualistic animal sacrifice
Enjoyment and pleasure are the sole purpose of life. Seeking pleasure is only natural to Human beings. Pleasure be sought and Pain be avoided
Death is inescapable reality everyone has to face
