Aitareya Upanishad, Verse 3.1.3 · Traditional (Upanishadic) · Vedic / Upanishadic

The third chapter of the Aitareya Upanishad asks: 'Who is this Self that we worship? By what does one see, hear, smell, speak and discern?' The seer answers that it is consciousness (prajnana) which presides over all the faculties and over the whole of creation — gods, sages, men, animals and the elements alike are guided by it and rest upon it. Summing up this enquiry, the Upanishad declares 'Prajnanam Brahma — Consciousness is Brahman,' establishing pure awareness as the supreme Reality.

The Upanishad concludes that the sage who knows the Self as consciousness and departs this world by it 'attains all desires in the world of light and becomes immortal' — the awakening to 'Consciousness is Brahman' being itself the crossing beyond death.

प्रज्ञानं ब्रह्म পাঠের উপকারিতা

One of the four Mahavakyas (great sayings) of the Upanishads, revealing Brahman as pure consciousness.

Turns the seeker's attention from outer objects to the inner light of awareness that knows them.

Used in meditation to recognize one's own consciousness as the infinite, self-luminous Reality.

Bestows Self-knowledge (Atma-jnana) and liberation when contemplated by a prepared mind.

Grants steady inner peace by anchoring the mind in changeless awareness rather than shifting thoughts.

A cornerstone of Advaita Vedanta study and a powerful pointer for non-dual contemplation.

দিকEast or North

This is a mantra for contemplative insight. Sit quietly and recite 'Prajnanam Brahma', then gently inquire: 'What is the awareness in which all my thoughts, perceptions and feelings appear?' Recognize that this ever-present, knowing consciousness is itself Brahman — not produced by the mind but the very light that reveals the mind. Rest the attention in that awareness, returning to it whenever the mind wanders.

এই পাতায় সম্পূর্ণ प्रज्ञानं ब्रह्म বাংলা লিপিতে দেওয়া আছে — সেই একই মূল শ্লোক, অক্ষরে-অক্ষরে লিপ্যন্তরিত, যাতে আপনি স্বচ্ছন্দে পড়তে ও জপ করতে পারেন। যেকোনো পঙ্‌ক্তি (বা ▶ বোতাম) ছুঁয়ে তার পাঠ শুনুন।
হ্যাঁ — শুধু লিপি বদলায়; শব্দ ও তার অর্থ মূলই থাকে। এই পাতার শ্লোকে-শ্লোকে অর্থ, উপকারিতা ও পাঠের নিয়ম একইভাবে প্রযোজ্য।
Prajnanam Brahma means 'Consciousness is Brahman'. It teaches that pure awareness — the knowing presence by which we perceive and live — is itself the supreme Reality, Brahman.
It is from the Aitareya Upanishad (3.1.3), which belongs to the Rig Veda. It is the Mahavakya, or 'great saying', associated with the Rig Veda.
Both are Mahavakyas pointing to the same non-dual truth. Prajnanam Brahma defines the nature of Brahman as consciousness, while Aham Brahmasmi is the seeker's direct realization, 'I am Brahman'. Together with Tat Tvam Asi and Ayam Atma Brahma they form the four great sayings.
Reflect that whatever you experience appears within awareness, and that this awareness is not an object but your own being. Recognize it as self-luminous and limitless, and identify with it rather than with the changing body and mind. This is the contemplation that leads to liberation.
