In Indian philosophy and religions, '''''''' (, ) is "knowledge".
The idea of jñāna centers on a cognitive event which is recognized when experienced. It is knowledge inseparable from the total experience of reality, especially the total or divine reality (Brahman). There are also some categorised terms like physical Jñāna, spiritual Jñāna and ultimate Jñāna of Self-Realisation.
