Brahman
From Hindupedia, the Hindu Encyclopedia
By Jit Majumdar
- enormous; stupendously big; infinite; expansive
- the Absolute and Primordial Principle that is beyond all relative phenomena like name, form and magnitude, dimension and description, and is the substratum of existence, and is the sum-total of all that is and becomes, from which all planes and degrees of existence come forth and to which again all existence is absorbed back. This Principle is beyond language, or imagination, or comparison, since it is eternal and infinite and is not by itself the result of any phenomena but the original root of all phenomena, and is beyond time, space and causation, and therefore is eternal, constant, perfect, unchangeable, and cannot be diminished or destroyed.
