Brahmagyan

 Brahmagyan (ब्रह्मज्ञान) means the knowledge of Brahman—the ultimate, absolute reality in Indian philosophy, especially in Vedanta.

Here’s a clear breakdown:

What it means

• Brahman: The supreme, infinite, unchanging reality that is the source of everything.
• Gyan (Jnana): Knowledge or realization.

So, Brahmagyan is not just intellectual knowledge, but direct realization of the truth that:

Ātman (the self) and Brahman (the ultimate reality) are one.

In Advaita Vedanta

• Brahmagyan leads to Moksha (liberation).
• Ignorance (Avidya) causes the illusion of separation.
• When Brahmagyan arises, the sense of “I am separate” dissolves.

A classic Mahavakya expressing Brahmagyan:

• “Aham Brahmasmi” — I am Brahman
• “Tat Tvam Asi” — That Thou Art

How it is attained

Traditionally through:

1. Shravana – Listening to the teachings of the Upanishads
2. Manana – Deep reflection
3. Nididhyasana – Meditation and direct contemplation

Often under the guidance of a Guru.

Result of Brahmagyan

• Freedom from fear, sorrow, and ego-identification
• Steady inner peace (Shanti)
• Living in the world but not bound by it

If you’d like, I can explain Brahmagyan vs Atmagyan, its place in the Upanishads, or how different traditions (Bhakti, Yoga, Sikhism) understand it.
