Vaisheshika or Vaiśeṣika (Sanskrit: वैशेषिक) is one of the [[Shad Darshanas|Shad Darsanas]] or the Veda Upangas which exist traditionally since ancient times in India. The Vaiseshika system takes its name from Visesha, or particularity which is the characteristic differential of things. Rishi Kanada is credited as the founder of the Vaiseshika system of philosophy. He is also known by the names, Aulukya and Kasyapa. The aphorisms of Kanada contain the essence of the Vaiseshika philosophy. The principal subject treated therein is Visesha, one of the six Padarthas or categories enumerated by the founder.<ref name=":0">Swami Sivananda, All About HInduism, Page 196-202</ref>
