Guest guest Posted March 19, 2002 Report Share Posted March 19, 2002 Hi Bobby, here they are: tat tvam asi - thou art that, aham brahmasmi - I am Brahma, prajnanam brahma - the ultimate truth is Brahma, and ayamatma brahma - the extension of the Self is Brahma. This seems to be the standard tradition. By extension, some people also call Sri Krishna's "so ham" ("I am He") from the Gita a mahavakya.
