About This Quote

This is a Sanskrit verse explaining the meaning of the word Nishtha. We have already seen that Nishtha means 'faith' and Brahma is derived from the word Brahman which means self/consciousness. It is also interesting to note that the word Nishtha has been used as a synonym of Vishnu. In other words, as one who believes in Vishnu as the real Self, he is known as Nishtha-Vishnu. In this way, it can be said that Brahma-nishtha refers to a person who believes in Vishnu as the real Self and has faith in God.
