What are Maha Vaakyas?

Categories: Ancient Wisdom, Global Vedic Wisdom and Meditation

In the Vedic texts, we have what are called “Maha Vaakya”. Maha means great and Vaakya means statement. So, literally it means great statement. What they hold are simple phrases which have great wisdom within them.

These "Maha Vaakyas" hold true since time immemorial. If we were to consider this from a more modern perspective, then we could think of them as aphorisms which have amazing wisdom- that are expressed in a few simple words.

These Maha Vaakyas s are considered so powerful and potent that it is said that one could merely meditate on the wisdom of these sentences and attain deeper spiritual understanding on the inner workings of oneself and ultimately understand the workings of the entire universe- the cosmos!!

There are many such Maha Vaakyas, one such famous one being- Aham Brahmasmi. This concept of Maha Vaakyas is not limited to the Vedic era- there are many modern-day aphorisms which have deeper meaning such as “As above, So below”.
​ 
Any spiritual aspirant should really endeavor to meditate and reflect on these powerful statements. This will allow them a deeper understanding of the mysteries of life and the ways of the Divine.
