Ātman (Hinduism)

Ōtman (pronounced "aht-mahn") is an important concept in Hinduism, which is an ancient religion in India. It is often translated to mean “self” or “soul.” It is the part of a person that is spiritual and eternal - something that is always part of them and never changes. In Hinduism, Ōtman teaches us to find the spiritual aspect of our being, to understand the importance of wisdom and inner peace, and to let go of our attachments and desires so that we can experience true happiness.
