    Mahavakyas Pallavi

    Uploaded by

    Michal Ičo
    The four Mahavakyas are the most important statements from the Upanishads, which are foundational texts of Vedanta philosophy. The four Mahavakyas come from different Vedas but all express the core idea of the Upanishads - the unity of the individual self (Atman) and the universal self (Brahman). They are Prajnanam Brahma, Tat Twam Asi, Ayam Atma Brahma, and Aham Brahmasmi.

    THE 4 MAHAVAKYAS

    The Mahavakyas are "The Great


    Statements" of the Upanishads, the
    foundational texts of Vedanta. Though
    there are many Mahavakyas, four of
    them, each from one of the four Vedas,
    are mentioned often as "the
    Mahavakyas". The subject matter and
    the essence of all Upanishads being the
    same, all the Mahavakyas essentially
    say the same in a concise form. The
    four statements indicate the ultimate
    unity of the individual (Atman) with
    God (Brahman)

    Statement Veda Upanishad Type Meaning Philosophy


    Prajnanam Rig Aitareya Declarative Brahman is Dvaita
    Brahma (Lakshana Vakya) Intelligence
    Tat Twam Asi Sama Chandogya Instructive That thou art Visistadvaita
