Knower of the Creator's secrets/Knower of the Creator Explanation: Brahma is the God of Creation in Hindu mythology. Brahma is also (the ever changing--hence "hidden"/"mysterious"/"unknown"/"secret"/"illusion") creation/this world/(and, by extension, also) this universe--all nature, space, time, life, society as well as thought. And by the force of logic, also all the relations natural or human. Brahma refers to the Brahma explained above and Gyani means the one upon whom the special knowledge of this Brahma (i.e. Creator, creation, illusion, hidden, secret...) has dawned upon. It is purely Hindu religious concept and terminology, and Buddhism and mysticism also recognise it. |

knower of the Brahman Explanation: Actually brahmagyani is a technical term of Sikhism and other Indian religions. It can be used as such. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 8 घंटे (2010-07-08 16:06:19 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Dear Alka, The problem is, this is a technical term specific to Hindu/Sikh religion. Equivalent terms in other languages not from the culture of these religions, such as English, is difficult to come by. In such cases, the best option would be to use the term as it is and explain the meaning as a footnote or glossary or within brackets. For example, you could say, Brahmagyani so-and-so Singh, or Brahmagyani (knower of the Brahman) so-and-so Singh, or Brahmagyani so-and-so Singh (the term brahmagyani means knower of the Brahman, i.e., the creator) |
