Brahmvaad

What is Brahmvaad ?
Well, let's start from the scratch. Brahmvaad = Brahm + Vaad. Brahm means that which is omnipresent, a term used in the Indian scriptures to describe the summum bonum of everthing or the Supreme Entity or God, and vaad means a doctrene. So, Brahmvaad in nutshell is the doctrene describing everything to be God. The basis of this is Upnishads (which are the later portions of Vedas) where it is said "Sarvam khalu idam Brahmam" etc. Thus whatever is there is nothing but the God. God has manifested in everything that is there - the santient beings, the insantient objects, the spirit, the matter, the divinity, the dreadedness and all.

Echoing your original -
Bhrahmavada - Brahman, the source and cause of all that is in the Universe, IS the universe. Purest form of monism anywhere, in any religion. Uniquely, this is the only philosophy that states, categorically, that everything, absolutely everything, is perfect just the way it is. Everything is imbibed with the sprite of the Lord and as the Lord is eternally perfect, everything is perfect !
