Indian leader of the Charvaka school of thought,
sometimes called Lokayata.

an atheistic, worldly sect of ancient India, analogous
to the Epicureans in Greece, or the "Zorba" way of
life. Said to have died out in India around 1400 CE.

tenets are basically:  this life is good, this life is
all--Brahmanism and metaphysics are just tricks used
by the priests to deceive people.

Charuvaka means "sweet words", but charvaka
means "to eat too much", used by detractors to
denigrate the sect and it's way of living.

destroyed all his writings, burned all his writings...
