Ahaṃkāra (अहंकार) is a Sanskrit term that is related to the ego and egoism - that is, the identifying with or attachment to one's ego. The term "ahamkara" comes from an approximately 3,000-year-old Vedic philosophy, where Ahaṃ is the "I" and kāra is "any created thing" or "to do". The term was later incorporated into Hindu philosophy, particularly Saṃkhyā philosophy. In Bhagavad Gita Lord Krishna says "Air, water, earth, fire, sky, mind, intelligence and ahankaar (ego) together constitute the nature created by me."
