Brahma Vidyā is the science of spirituality or seeking knowledge about God and existence. It is a study that is aimed to realise the Ultimate Truth.
The ultimate goal of Brahma Vidyā is enlightenment or ‘Self-Realisation’, leading to liberation from the recurring rebirth cycles of the soul.
Pursuing such a long-term goal, the seeker gradually experiences spirituality, making them progressively contended and happier in their day-to-day lives.
The most prevalent Indian greeting is “Namaste”, which means “the divine in me sees the divine in you”.
In a single word, Namaste conveys the essence of Hindu spiritual culture.
Religions – as most people now follow – look for divinity outside, much beyond our reach. Spirituality, on the other hand, aims to realise God in everything around us – and just within ourselves.
It is in the nature of the human mind to create divisions – religions, sects, castes, etc. Spirituality helps to blur these differences and helps us relate better with each other.
An ancient civilisation
It is a culture that kick-started thousands of years ago when humankind shed their hunter-gatherer lifestyle and adopted a civilised living based on agriculture and farming.
It has since then constantly evolved and continuously attempted to explain the concepts of spirituality, constantly adapting to the ever-changing times and circumstances.
A melting pot of cultures
From ancient times, spirituality has helped the Indian civilisation embrace the diversity of cultures and customs followed by its people.
As a result, today the Hindu way of life is a thriving eclectic mix of colourful traditions that is unmatched in the world. It constantly reminds us of the importance of spirituality in promoting global oneness.
A spiritual path to realise divinity
From the most ancient Vedic lore, through the greatest wisdom exposition in the Upanishads, the brilliant masterworks of the Itihasas and Puranas, and the profound teachings of Buddha, Mahavira, Adi Shankara and innumerable seers over thousands of years of history, Hindu culture has been constantly evolving supporting people in their quest for enlightenment.
Being a spiritual path, Hindu culture has given its people freedom to express spirituality in their own ways as it understands that all spiritual paths eventually leads to enlightenment.
The Hindu way of life is Sanatana Dharma - a universal culture.
