| | Brahman - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Brahman is also not restricted to the usual dimensional perspectives of being, and thus enlightenment, moksha, yoga, samadhi, nirvana, etc. do not merely mean to know Brahman, but to realise one's 'brahman-hood', to actually realise that one is and always was of Brahman nature. | | | The brahma-pura (city within Brahman) is identified as the divine realm of Vishnu known as Vaikuntha. | | | Brahman (ब्रह्मन् in devanagari script) in the Vedantic (and subsequently Yogic) schools of Hinduism, is the signifying name given to the concept of the unchanging, infinite, immanent and transcendent reality that is the Divine Ground of all being in this universe. |

| | Brahman (Hinduism) |
| | Brahman (Hinduism), in the Vedic hymns, the cosmic power of the priestly utterance; Brahmán, the masculine form of the same noun, denotes the priest who speaks such utterances. | | | The etymology of Brahman is disputed: scholars have attempted to associate it with the Latin flamen (member of an archaic Roman priesthood); with the Sanskrit root brh ("be strong"); and with the Greek morphe ("form" or "shape"). | | | Brahman is beyond all material forms and consists of knowledge and bliss. |

| | Aspects of Brahman : Brahman is both the unmanifest and the manifest, the formless and the one with form. | | | Brahman, the Absolute God of Hindus, is a very mysterious Being. | | | Unlike the Prakriti of the Samkhya school, the Shakti that is described here is not independent of Brahman but an aspect of Him. |

| | Brahman |
| | The word "brahman" in Sanskrit originally meant "power" and specifically referred to the power of prayer or sacrifice to bring about material change in the world (hence the word brahmin for priest); so that Brahman seems to refer to the power that brings about and changes the physical universe. | | | In the later development of Hinduism, Brahman would become one aspect of a triune god and would represent the creation aspects of that god. | | | This single, unitary divinity had several aspects and names in the Upanishads, two of the most important are Atman, "Universal Spirit," and Brahman. |

| | Brahman |
| | Brahman came to denote both the creator, or Absolute, divine substance and a man, the latter being a brahman (commonly spelled brahmin in English to lessen confusion), who is of the priestly caste, which is the first social order, or varna, in Hindu society. | | | Brahman, in Hinduism, means the Supreme Realty conceived of one and undifferentiated, static and dynamic, yet above all definitions; the ultimate principle which underlies the world, the ultimate realty. | | | The term brahman meant at first prayer, hymn, magical formula, sacred knowledge (and still means sacred word in some contexts), then the power in them, and finally the Supreme Power. |

| | Spirituality, Hinduism, Universal Self (atman) and Ultimate Reality (Brahman) |
| | In this manifestation of Brahman it is worshipped as personal God and Lord (Ishwara). | | | For example, the Vedanta school of philosophy upholds the doctrine of brahman as the ground of all being. | | | But there is no agreement on the questions of the relation between the one brahman and the diversity of creation and, in particular, of the relation between the universal brahman and the individual atman. |

| | Hindu religious thought is based upon the belief in the Ultimate Reality (Brahman of the Upanishads), faith in the reality of the spirit (atman), and faith in the spiritual order of the world. | | | Nirguna Brahman has no attributes and, as such, is not an object of prayer but of meditation and knowledge. | | | Saguna Brahman cannot be limited by one form and is therefore worshipped by Hindus in both male and female forms. |

| | Dhammapada, Wisdom of the Buddha: Who is a Brahman? - Canto 26 |
| | I do not call him a Brahman merely because he is born in the caste of the noble ones, or of a Brahman mother. | | | When the haughty Brahmans and Jains came to discuss metaphysical problems with the Buddha, they often addressed him simply, "Bho, Gotama!" Therefore, the Buddhists used to designate the Brahmans by this appellation which involves a certain amount of contempt. | | | Note -- Bhovadi is a familiar form of address used by the Brahmans during the time of Buddha for equals and for inferiors. |

| | Thus he tries to show that although these divergent views on Brahman, including the Nirguna nature of Brahman, are expressed by different passages of the Upanishads, all the views may be taken to describe the same God, Narayana. | | | But this does not preclude Brahman from having divine attributes, attributes which are not results of the gunas Sattva, Rajas and Tamas. | | | Madhva's school interprets Vedantic passages speaking of the Nirguna Brahman as descriptions which only assert that Brahman is completely free of any kind of worldly attributes, which are not blemishless. |

| | What is Hinduism and what do Hindus believe? |
| | The spiritual goal of a Hindu is to become one with Brahma, thus ceasing to exist in illusory form. | | | Because Brahma is in everything, Hindus believe that ultimately they themselves are gods, and will often worship themselves as an extension of Brahma. | | | Until moksha is achieved, a Hindu believes that he/she will be repeatedly reincarnated in order that he/she may work towards self-realization of the truth (the truth being that only Brahman exists, nothing else). |
