Vijnanabhiksu

[3][4] His scholarship stated that there is a unity between Vedānta, Yoga, and Samkhya philosophies,[5][6] and he is considered a significant influence on Neo-Vedanta movement of the modern era.

[7] Vijnanabhiksu wrote commentaries in the 15th century on three different schools of Indian philosophy: Vedānta, Sāṃkhya, and Yoga.

He explained the universe's creation through maya as an evolute of the eternally real prakrti, asserting that the world is not illusory.

[7] According to Nicholson, already between the twelfth and the sixteenth century, ... certain thinkers began to treat as a single whole the diverse philosophical teachings of the Upanishads, epics, Puranas, and the schools known retrospectively as the "six systems" (saddarsana) of mainstream Hindu philosophy.

[16] Both the Indian and the European thinkers who developed the term "Hinduism" in the 19th century were influenced by these philosophers.
