Brahman (
Devanāgarī:
ब्रह्मन् bráhman) is the
eternal,
unchanging,
infinite,
immanent, and
transcendent reality which is the Divine Ground of all
matter,
energy,
time,
space,
being, and everything beyond in this
Universe.
[1] The nature of Brahman is described as
transpersonal,
personal and
impersonal by different philosophical schools. In the
Rig Veda, Brahman gives rise to the primordial being
Hiranyagarbha that is equated with the creator God
Brahmā. The
trimurti can thus be considered a personification of Brahman as the active principle behind the phenomena of the universe।
The word "Brahman" is traditionally derived from the verb ((brh)) (Sanskrit: to grow), and connotes greatness and infinity. The Mundaka Upanishad says:
Om- That supreme Brahman is infinite, and this conditioned Brahman is infinite। The infinite proceeds from infinite। Then through knowledge, realizing the infinitude of the infinite, it remains as infinite alone।
