AHM BRAHMASMI

 

The Mahavakyas (sing.: महावाक्यम्; plural:  महावाक्यानि)

are "The Great Sayings" of the Upanishads, as characterized by the Advaita school of Vedanta. Most commonly, Mahavakyas are considered four in number,

 

 

1.     Prajnanam Brahma (प्रज्ञानम् ब्रह्म) - "Insight is Brahman," or "Brahman is insight" (Aitareya Upanishad 3.3 of the Rig Veda)

 

 

2.    Ayam Atma Brahma (अयम् आत्मा ब्रह्म) - "This Self (Atman) is Brahman" (Mandukya Upanishad 1.2 of the Atharva Veda)

 

 

3.    Tat Tvam Asi (तत् त्वम् असि) - "That essence (tat, referring to sat, "the Existent") are you" (Chandogya Upanishad 6.8.7 of the Sama Veda)

 

 

4.  Aham Brahmasmi (अहम् ब्रह्मास्मि) - "I am (part of) Brahman" मैं ब्रह्स्वरुप हूँ (Brihadaranyaka Upanishad 1.4.10 of the Yajur Veda)
