'''Ahaṃkāra''' (devanāgarī: अहंकार) is a [[Sanskrit]] term derived from ''aham'' ("ego", "I") and ''kara'' ("maker", "doer", from the verbal root ''kri'', "to do"). It is the sense of “I-am-ness” the individual ego, which feels itself to be a distinct, separate entity. It provides identity to our functioning, but ahamkāra also creates our feelings of separatness. Ahaṃkāra is one of the four parts of the [[antahkarana]] (the "inner organ"), other three parts being [[buddhi]] (the intellect), [[citta]] (the memory) and [[manas]] (the mind).
