Awareness gathers the power of the Divine and through Impeccable Devotion is engulfed by Eternity.

What is the concept of atman? Is Atman the mind?

Hello Guys! and welcome to the Ancient wisdom modern mind podcast and today I would like to discuss about what is atman and true self spirituality.

Atman, one of the most basic concepts in Hinduism, the universal self, identical with the eternal core or soul which if one attains gives release from the bonds of human existence. While in the early Vedas it occurred mostly as a reflexive pronoun meaning “oneself,” in the later Upanishads it comes more and more to the fore as a philosophical topic.

The Vedas define the Atman as the eternal core of our being, the Soul, or Primordial Self. This is One, Infinite and Eternal Breathe that transcends the lower self or ego and is the True-self awakened being.

The soul or Atman is a constant nagging voice, a connecting link between the world of self and the divine.

In the yogic tradition awakening Atman is a precondition to attaining Moksha, and so in certain schools of thought Atman has been incorrectly identified with Brahman, this confusion with Brahman relates to the similarity between Atman and Paramatman which is a part of Brahman, and with which the Atman can commune.
