Nitya-samsarins

Nitya-samsarins or nitya-samsaris is a concept in Hindu philosophy, referring to an individual who believes that their self is eternally bound in the cycle of rebirth called samsara. The existence of nitya-samsari is used to offer credibility to the concept of the periodical creation and the dissolution of the universe.

Philosophy

The philosopher Madhva divides souls into three classes: one class of souls that qualifies for moksha, another as subject to samsara, and a third class that is eventually condemned to the hell named Andhatamisra.

In the philosophy of Vishishtadvaita, a nitya-samsari is an individual who is described to be bound to their karma at all times.
