The word “Brahman” in English translates to “பிரம்மம்” (Brahmam) in Tamil. In Hindu philosophy, Brahman refers to the ultimate reality, the supreme cosmic power, or the universal spirit that is the source of all that exists. It represents the concept of the absolute, unchanging reality amidst and beyond the world, which cannot be exactly defined but is understood as the ultimate cause and principle of the universe.
