Om Tat Sat
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Om Tat Sat is a mantra in Sanskrit that is translated to mean the 'Supreme Absolute Truth' - literally 'all that is'.
- Om refers to the Supreme Infinite Spirit/Person Brahman.
- Tat refers to 'that', or 'all that is'.
- Sat refers to 'truth', that which is not evanescent or ephemeral, the underlying basis, which is most fundamental and universal.
Sometimes Hari Om Tat Sat (Hari, the Lord, is infine spirit - that is the truth) is also spoken as a variation, especially amongst followers of the bhakti paths.
[edit] Scriptural References
- "From the beginning of creation, the three words om tat sat were used to indicate the Supreme Absolute Truth. These three symbolic representations were used by brahmanas while chanting the hymns of the Vedas and during sacrifices for the satisfaction of the Supreme." (Bhagavad Gita Chapter 17, Text 23)
