Detailed explanation-1: –Nirguna Brahman is a state of being of nonduality, which is also known as the Para Brahman as of the tradition of Advaita Vedanta philosophy. For example, Surya is considered as Saguna Brahman by Saura, a denomination of Hinduism and Shiva is regarded as Para Brahman in Shaivism.
Detailed explanation-2: -The term Nirguna Brahman refers to the concept that Brahman is beyond time and space. It is the idea that Brahman has no particular form and is present within all living beings and everywhere.
Detailed explanation-3: -The Hindu scriptures have two ways of thinking that help with this understanding. The first of these is nirguna, which means ‘without form’ and ‘without qualities’. The second way of thinking of Brahman is saguna, which means ‘with form’ and ‘with qualities’.
Detailed explanation-4: -The term Advaita (literally “non-secondness", but usually rendered as “nondualism", and often equated with monism) refers to the idea that Brahman alone is ultimately real, while the transient phenomenal world is an illusory appearance (maya) of Brahman.
