Chaitanya is pure consciousness. As per Hinduism, it is the
essence of Brahman. It is the energy that lies at the root of all motion and
change in nature.
It is the real self or ‘I.’ It is the potency that is
present in all animate and inanimate.
It is there everywhere and yet it does not lose its identity
and unity.
Chaitanya is self illuminating and self illumined.
