Philosophy:Brahmgiani
Brahmgiani (Punjabi: ਬ੍ਰਹਮਗਿਆਨੀ (Gurmukhi)) in Sikhism is a highly enlightened individual being who is one with Waheguru. In Sikhism, such a person has also been named a Gurmukh, Sadhu or Sant. Other derivations of Brahmgiani have come from one possessing the knowledge of Brahman.[1]
Concept
Usage
Brahmgiani is explained in poetry from Guru Arjan and Guru Nanak in the Sukhmani.[2][3][4] It is also mentioned in the Guru Granth Sahib, specifically in pages 1289 and 1290[5].
Traits
The Brahmgiani in the Sikh worldview represents the spiritually perfected person who transcends ego and worldly attachment[6][7]. Hence, a person that attains the state of Brahmgiani represents the complete embodiment of Godly traits such as kindness and humility embodied within the person[8].
