Oh...well, I've already read the article. Just wanted your insights.

Buddhist? Well, I don't really have anything to ask about them.

Mind giving an overview of Brahman?

Brahman is the embodiment of the creator in the overall "god" (I think it's referred to as "Ishvara").

Brahman = Creator
Vishnu = Maintainer
Shiva = Destroyer

These are the three main gods in this form of pantheism.

All the other gods represent different forms of the "ultimate god"



Edit: The idea is an overall "oneness" within all existence and reality
