Brahmanical tradition

The Brahmanical tradition, rooted in ancient India, centers around the worship of Brahman—an ultimate, unchanging reality or cosmic spirit believed to pervade everything. It emphasizes Vedic scriptures, rituals, and ethical duties (dharma) to connect with this divine source. This tradition has shaped Hindu practices, philosophy, and social structures, highlighting spiritual knowledge, moral conduct, and the pursuit of liberation (moksha). While it historically included priestly practices and societal roles, it also evolved to encompass diverse beliefs and approaches to understanding the divine and human purpose within a complex cultural framework.
