While life is yours, live joyously; None can escape Death's searching eye: When once this frame of ours they burn, How shall it e'er again return? Materialism is a Nastika system based on materialistic and atheist school of thought and was founded in approximately 500BC. It is also known as Lokāyata. It is named after its founder, Charvaka, author of the Bārhaspatya-sūtras. we do not find any systematic work on materialism, nor any organised school of followers as the other philosophical schools possess. Our knowledge of Indian materialism or Charvaka philosophy is fragmentary, and is based largely on criticism of the ideas by other schools.
