The concept of Moksha is an essential part of Hinduism, representing the ultimate goal of human life - liberation from the cycle of birth, death and rebirth (Samsara). It is often described as the state of enlightenment, where an individual achieves union with the supreme consciousness or Brahman.
Ancient India (circa 500 BCE to 500 CE)
Moksha is also associated with the concept of Nirvana in Buddhism. Both concepts indicate the ultimate spiritual goal of attaining peace, freedom from suffering and the end of the cycle of rebirth. However, while Hinduism emphasizes the union with the supreme consciousness (Brahman), Buddhism focuses on the elimination of desire and attachment.
