Question

What is tatwamasi? nyan tanne anno ne tatwamasi

Answer 1

Answer:

Tat Tvam Asi (Sanskrit: तत् त्वम् असि or तत्त्वमसि) is a Sanskrit mantra from the Advaita tradition, typically translated as “I am that” or “Thou Art That”. It is one of the four principle Mahavakyas, or "Great Sayings" from the ancient Hindu text, The Upanishads. Tat Tvam Asi is used within Hindu and yoga philosophy to refer to the unity of Atman (the individual self or soul) with Brahman (universal consciousness or the Absolute).

The direct translation of this term stems from three Sanskrit roots:

Tat meaning "that".

Tvam meaning "you".

Asi meaning "you were".

Tat Tvam Asi may be chanted in repetitions or recited silently as part of a meditation practice
