Abstract
The nexus between cognition and emotion shapes human experiences, influencing perceptions, decisions, and responses. This research delves into the distinctive viewpoint offered by Indian philosophical and psychological traditions regarding this dance of thought and feeling. Infusing ancient Indian psychology with age-old wisdom provides a transformative exploration of the interplay between cognition and emotion. Indian thought emphasises the inseparability of cognition and emotion within a unified whole. The study is based on ancient Indian perspectives, combining cognition and emotion, which have practical applications for emotional regulation, self-awareness, and overall well-being. Empirical validation and ancient Indian testing are necessary, as well as investigating cognitive and neural mechanisms and ethical considerations. Longitudinal studies are needed to understand lasting effects. By bridging ancient sagacity with contemporary discernment, this study enriches understanding of the intricate choreography that guides human behaviour and psychology.
