Brahmavidya is a generic word, which is a combination of two words, Brahma + Vidya. Brahma is the term used in ancient Sanskrit philosophical literature to denote the Supreme Being, which is commonly called as God, Ishwar, Bhagwan. Hence Brahmavidya is a teaching telling us about Brahma – God, God’s way, God’s Order. This is the philosophical or theoretical part elaborating upon reality of life, the truth of existence.

With above definition, all scriptures of various religions, telling us about God and God’s order is Brahmavidya. All 18 chapters of the Geeta is Brahmavidya. At the end of every chapter of Geeta the name of the Yoga technique of that chapter is mentioned.

Each chapter teaches a different Yoga to realise the truths propounded in that chapter. In the 18 chapters of Geeta, Lord Krishna teaches 18 different Yogas or methods. Thus, Yoga is the practical part of the teaching which will lead us to the realisation of truths propounded in the theoretical part.

Brahmavidya teaches us about God’s Order - the Universal Order and the Order of Human life. Man is an exact replica of the Universe. Hence, he has to follow the Universal Order in his own life to reach the pinnacle of his growth.

God has expressed his Universal Order in Seven Kingdoms viz. Ethereal Kingdom, Sidereal Kingdom, Mineral Kingdom, Vegetable Kingdom, Animal Kingdom, Human kingdom and Celestial Kingdom.

Corresponding to these seven kingdoms there is the Noble Eight-Fold Path for bringing Universal Order in human life. Brahmavidya teaches us this Path and other important Spiritual Laws of Human Life.

Brahmavidya is the Science of Living. Modern science tells us about the laws of material universe. Whereas Brahmavidya tells us about deeper truths of human life. All truth is hidden and if we limit our observation only to the appearance, we can never comprehend the truth.

Every scientific discovery is a proof that Appearances Are Deceptive. e.g., the earth appears to be quite flat but actually it is round. Similarly, we appear to be merely Human, but WE ARE NOT.

Happiness is the urge of life. Really, what more does one want in life? Everybody wants to be happy, though the idea of happiness is different for every person. However, we may say that for all people Health and Success is the formula for happiness. Health, Success and Happiness appear different from one another. Brahmavidya helps us to achieve all these. All the three depend upon following the order of life. The laws of life are precise and when we follow these laws our life becomes orderly i.e., Healthy, Successful and Happy.
