, Hinduism.

Origin of mukti¹

Borrowed into English from Sanskrit around 1775–85

That is pantheistic salvation, mukti, or deliverance from further human existences and their desires and delusions.

The highest felicity is not mukti or liberation but the eternal service of Kṛishṇa and eternal participation in his sports.

Though mukti has five connotations, yet its principal meaning is absorption in God.
