Sometimes I have seen people post on here that they are Brahman. What does that statement mean?
In simple language we are saying there is One cosmic Consciousness (Brahman) that we are all a part of. Once we liberate ourselves through love and effort from our finite individual-seeming consciousness we experience Brahman-Realization.Sometimes I have seen people post on here that they are Brahman.

The world of us mortals. We are born and die and born again and die again and we don't choose our forms.What does Maya mean?
Maya is the principle of ignorance and to me especially ignorance of our deepest nature. Some might say that maya is the illusion that the world of the senses is real.What does Maya mean?
In the Bible is said something similar (refering to God's Name) like "I Am That I Am".Sometimes I have seen people post on here that they are Brahman.

The 'I' that is being referred to here isn't the 'I' of the ego, or the personality. It is the 'I' of the being, at it's deepest depth. At the central core of all is Brahman. So as another poster has indicated, it's not an intellectual concept but a realisation, and a deep one at that. Unfortunately, some neo-Advaitins have turned it into just that.
Would it be right to say that the Biblical God is responsible for evil in the world in the sense that He created everything but the Hindu God is actually doing the evil in the world.
Oh yeah that makes total sense, lol.Would it be right to say that the Biblical God is responsible for evil in the world in the sense that He created everything but the Hindu God is actually doing the evil in the world.
Oh you know, those evil Hindus, they not like us, they bad! They practice cannibalism, murder anyone that come near, and drink the blood of bats.Doesn't sound like a Hindu belief.

Hindus don't even believe in evil, let alone our loving God being responsible. But you're free to think that. (My God good, your God bad)
Maybe not but if God is everything in Hinduism then God is doing everything.
