Talk:Nāstika (‘atheist’)
From Hindupedia, the Hindu Encyclopedia
By Swami Harshananda
A nāstika is one who says ‘It does not exist!’ (na = not, asti = exist). He does not believe in the existence of God, the soul, after-life, heaven and hell—in fact all that cannot be experienced by the five sense-organs.
