Detailed explanation-1: -Brahman is all that is eternal, unchanging and that which truly exists. This view is stated in this school in many different forms, such as “Ekam sat” ("Truth is one"), and all is Brahman. The universe does not simply come from Brahman, it is Brahman.
Detailed explanation-2: -Many Hindus believe that there is a part of Brahman within each person, which forms an individual’s soul and is known as the atman. Brahman is believed to be the foundation of all life and is composed of three main forms known as the Trimurti-Brahma (the creator), Vishnu (the preserver) and Shiva (the destroyer).
Detailed explanation-3: -In the Vedic-and post-Vedic Indian subcontinent, Brahmins were designated as the priestly class, serving as priests (purohit, pandit, or pujari) and spiritual teachers (guru or acharya). The other three varnas are the Kshatriya, Vaishya, and Shudra.
Detailed explanation-4: -Hindus believe that there are four goals in human life: kama, the pursuit of pleasure; artha, the pursuit of material success; dharma, leading a just and good life; and moksha, enlightenment, which frees a person from suffering and unites the individual soul with Brahman.
