  Brahman - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Brahman is also not restricted to the usual dimensional perspectives of being, and thus enlightenment, moksha, yoga, samadhi, nirvana, etc. do not merely mean to know Brahman, but to realise one's 'brahman-hood', to actually realise that one is and always was of Brahman nature.
Brahman is considered the all pervading consciousness which is the basis of all the animate and inanimate entities and material.
God is Saguna Brahman, or Brahman with attributes.

 God - Christianity Knowledge Base   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
The question of the existence of God classically falls under the branch of philosophy known as metaphysics, but is also one of the key discussions taking place within the field of the philosophy of religion.
God is usually held to have the properties of holiness (separate from sin and incorruptible), justice (fair, right, and true in all His judgments), sovereignty (unthwartable in His will), omnipotence (all-powerful), omniscience (all-knowing), omni benevolence (all-loving), omnipresence (present everywhere at the same time), and immortality (eternal and everlasting).
In this philosophy God retains the traditional Christian role of an All loving, all forgiving Father, as portrayed in the Christian allegory of the Prodigal Son, yet God is also attributed with the qualities of complete oneness with all of mankind.

 4. The Nature of Brahman
The unchanging aspect of God is denoted by the svarupagunas while the sesa-sesin relationship between Brahman and the jivas/prakriti are clarified by the kalyanagunas and svabhavagunas of Brahman.
Brahman, on the contrary, is free of all evil and imperfections.
Brahman is the adhara, or support, of the jivas and the Universe as all finite beings are completely dependent on Him for their essential nature, continued existence in the phenomenal realm and actual functioning or activity.

 Brahman
Brahman or brahman, and similar words, have various meanings, mostly related to Hinduism.
In the Vedantic (and subsequently Yogic) schools of Hinduism, Brahman is the signifying name given to the concept of the unchanging, infinite, immanent and transcendent reality that is the Divine Ground of all being.
Hindus also regard Brahman as the all pervading consciousness which is believed to be the basis of all the animate and inanimate entities and material.

 BRAHMAN (God) in Hinduism by Dr. Subhash C. Sharma
Brahman, as Nirguna, has no attributes (is formless and unmanifested), whereas as Saguna (or Iswara) is manifested and with attributes.
Furthermore, polymorphically speaking, God may be worshipped, for example, by a farmer as Varuna (meaning the lord of water) and by a carpenter as Vishvakarma (meaning architect of the world).
In the case of Saguna Brahman, there are two types of worship -- one is of a personal God as the Immanent, and the other by using symbols.

 God Exists
Brahman or the Self or the Immanent God cannot be demonstrated as He is beyond the reach of the senses and mind but His existence can be inferred by certain empirical facts or common experiences in daily life.
Brahman envisaged thus by the individuals, as the supreme Cause and the Director of the universe, is Isvara, the Cosmic Being.
God, according to St. Thomas Aquinas, is, therefore, One, the unmoved Mover, the causeless Cause, the eternal Substance, the highest Perfection, supreme Intelligence, and the Maximum of being.

 Brahman of the Vedas
Brahman, as understood by the scriptures of Hinduism, as well as by the 'acharyas' of the Vedanta school, is a very specific conception of the Absolute.
Brahman is a necessary reality, eternal (i.e., beyond the purview of temporality), fully independent, non-contingent, and the source and ground of all things.
Brahman is both immanently present in the realm of materiality, interpenetrating the whole of reality as the sustaining essence that gives it structure, meaning and existential being, yet Brahman is simultaneously the transcendent origin of all things (thus, panentheistic).

 Brahman
The word "brahman" in Sanskrit originally meant "power" and specifically referred to the power of prayer or sacrifice to bring about material change in the world (hence the word brahmin for priest); so that Brahman seems to refer to the power that brings about and changes the physical universe.
In the Upanishads, Brahman is not only the principle and creator of all there is, but is also the sum totality of the universe and its phenomena.
Brahman is the totality of the universe as it is present outside of you;, Atman is the totality of the universe as it is present within you; Brahman is the totality of the world known objectively, Atman is the totality of the world known subjectively.

 SOPHIA : Society for Philosophy - THE MENTAL
The Hindu Trinity of three Supreme Gods (or aspects of the Supreme) known as the "Trimûrti" ("Brahmâ" or "Îshvara", "Vishnu" and "Shiva") is the ontological blueprint of creation itself ("Brahmâ"), the sustenance ("Vishnu") and the regeneration-through-destruction ("Shiva") of "samsâra", the realm of illusion ("mâyâ").
God as God is one, and can only be called "three" in a relative sense because of the activity of the Divine plan in creation and redemption.
Nevertheless, the popular personalisations of God, the "official" creation of an army of saints and recently the deification of Mary were not abrogated for reasons of their abstract theology nor were the masses educated in the truth of the matter (still reserved to the higher clergy).

 Joel Goldsmith, Ken Wilber, Dharmakaya, Brahman, God, Goddess, Maat, and godliness
Perhaps the God which is unknowable within us, which we are, should never be given any characteristics, any limitations, any definitions, or preconditions.
For that is the only way in which God is not limited, and therefore the only way in which our true selves are not limited.
It is apparent that every definition, aspect, or characteristic which we had to renounce from our idea of God, as in the last chapter, must now be applied to our own most inward self, our ‘I’, for they are the same thing, and therefore we cannot claim to know one while not knowing the other.
