In Hindu philosophy, Sakshi (Sanskrit: साक्षी), also Sākṣī, "witness," is the 'pure awareness' that witnesses all things and events. It witnesses all thoughts, words and deeds without affecting them or being affected by them. It is beyond time and space and the triad of experiencer, experiencing and experienced. Sakshi or Shiva (consciousness), along with Shakti (will/energy/motion), represents Brahman, the totality itself in its most fundamental state, the almighty and all-pervasive, revealed in ancient Hindu philosophical texts.
