Definitions of Brahman

Brahman – the ultimate reality – is revealed through two types of definitions; namely, svarūpa-lakṣaṇam and taṭastha-lakṣaṇam. While the second one emphasizes the presence of Brahman as the source of the universe with all its diversities, the first definition presents the innate nature of Brahman as the non-dual substance. The talks are aimed at understanding the logic underpinning the definitions and unfolding their significance in conveying the vision of Advaita.
