Brahman: Encyclopedia - Brahman

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. This Supreme Cosmic Spirit is regarded to be eternal, genderless, omnipotent, omniscient and yet indescribable. It can be at best described as infinite Truth, infinite Consciousness and infinite Bliss. It is regarded as the source and sum of the cosmo ...

Brahman: Encyclopedia - Brahmanism Brahmanism, popularly known as Hinduism, developed its ritual, worship and philosophy from Aryan scriptures; the Vedas. Over the years this civilization, culture and tradition were trickled down to the lower caste of the social hierarchy of the Hindu society through puranas as well as Ithihasas like Ramayana and Mahabharata. Brahmanism considers Brahmin caste as hereditary creators, preservers and propagators of religion. A Brahmin (less often Brahman) is a person born in the priestly Brahmin caste. The word is related to but not to be confused with religious conception of the t ...

Brahman: Encyclopedia II - Brahman - Brahman and Atman

Philosopher mystics of the Upanishads identify Brahman, the world soul, with atman, the inner essence of the human being, or the human soul. The Ultimate Truth is expressed as Nirguna Brahman, or Godhead. While Advaita philosophy considers Brahman to be without any form, qualities, or attributes, Dvaita philosophy understands nir-guna as without material form or without bad qualities. In Dvaita, Vishnu is Brahman since the followers stress a personal God. Advaita, on the other hand, considers all personal forms of God including Vishnu and Shiva as different aspects of God in personal ...

According to the many advaitins, Saguna Brahma or Īshwara, in Hindu philosophy, is God or Supreme Consciousness with gunas (qualities or attributes). This contrasts with Nirguna Brahman, the Supreme Consciousness or Supreme Spirit, ie, Brahman beyond the attributes. However according to the Vaishnava traditions of Vedanta, the definition saguna Brahman given by adwaitins has many mistakes. The form of Lord is never saguna Brahman. It is always nirguna Brahman. Nirguna Brahman means no material attributes. But there are ...

Brahman: Encyclopedia - Brahmanical See

Brahmanical See refers to the domain of certain Hindu leaders in the Indian subcontinent. Because it is essentially an anglicized term (compare episcopal see), this nomenclature has begun to fall into disuse. Much like the former Indian principalities, which varied in scale from small estates to vast kingdoms, the brahmanical sees range from minor parishes to quasi-states. With Hinduism itself lacking any central organizing institutions, it is common for brahmanical sees to geographically overlap with one another, just as the sees of different Christia ...

Brahman: Encyclopedia II - Brahman - Enlightenment and Brahman

While Brahman lies behind the sum total of the objective universe, some human minds boggle at any attempt to explain it with only the tools provided by reason. Brahman is beyond the senses, beyond the mind, beyond intelligence, beyond imagination. Indeed, the highest idea is that Brahman is beyond both existence and non-existence, transcending and including time, causation and space, and thus can never be known in the same material sense as one t ...

city; never fear that this inner treasure of all

reality will wither and decay. This knows no

age when the body ages; this knows no dying

when the body dies. This is the real city of

Brahman; this is the Self, free from old age,

from death and grief, hunger and thirst. In the

Self all desires are fulfilled.

- Chandogya Upanishad

Brahman: Are There Cosmic Causes and Cures for All Evils?

How did evilness enter the world? According to the author SC Varma, at the start or genesis of universe, there was only one almighty God, the brahman , the cosmic soul (parmatma). After many yugs (eras) of being alone and blissful, he thought of becoming many from one and said: eko hum, bahu syami (in sanskrit it means, I am one, let me be many). And with this concept (sankalp) alone, the ball of duality and multiplicity of creation started rolling, and still is rolling on. This article gives an exciting background from the vedic viewpoint on how pain, misery, conflicts and problems originated.

Brahman: A Union of Brahman and Maya

Twenty-five kilometres south west of Thrissur in Kerala, there is an ancient Rama temple at Thriprayar. In front of the temple flows the Thriprayar river. When Vishnu incarnated as Vamana and expanded His form to pervade the whole universe, His feet touched sathyaloka, Brahma's abode. A flabbergasted Brahma, on seeing the Lord's all-encompassing form, offered argya for washing Vishnu's feet. Part of the water fell on earth to form the Thriprayar Thiru Paadayar - a river with its source in Vishnu's feet.

Brahman: Encyclopedia - Bhakti

Bhakti (Sanskrit: भक्ति; Tamil: பக்தி) is a Tamil or Sanskrit term from Hinduism that means intense devotion expressed by action (service). A person who practices bhakti is called Bhakta. The concept of devotion is more or less the same in all religions. But in Hinduism there are certain extra subtleties which make it comparatively more complicated. These are : the One Reality versus many ‘Gods’ of worship; deity worship through ‘icons’ and ‘images’; the freedom to choose one’s own ‘favo ...

Brahman: Encyclopedia - Devi Mahatmyam

The word Devi Māhātmyama means the glory and significance of Devi, the Mother Goddess'. Devi Māhātmyam is the title of a part of the Mārkandeya Purana, one of the Brahma Puranas. Devi Mahatmyam - The primeval energy. One of the unique features of Hinduism is the fact that it conceives divinity also as mother goddess. When divinity has no name or form -- which is the most important declaration of the Upanishads, the next logical step is to recognize that the supreme has no specifity in terms of g ...
