Modern day Hinduism has hundreds of books, but the original Hindu faith is called Sanatana Dharma. It is not a religion, it is a way of life. The books of Sanatana Dharma are known as the Vedas. The Vedas are complex. The summary of the Vedas is called Vedanta, Vedanta is referred to as the Upanishads. The Upanishads are lengthy and many. The main Upanishads are eleven, but even they are difficult to understand. All the spiritual books of the original Hindu faith can be summarized into what is known as the four statements or the four Mahavakyas. The four principal statements are: Tat Twam Asi, Ayam Atma Brahma, Prajnanam Brahma, Aham Brahmasmi . The essence of these four statements is - we are not the body, we are not the mind, we are the Divine Soul. The core of the original Hindu faith can be summarized in these four statements.
