The Nordic generalized nickname is applied to the human groups settled in the most inhabited areas of Scandinavia, generally in the center and the south and mainly in coastal zones during the period between the end of the VIII century until the XI century. They had abundant settlements and small kingdoms in the areas that currently cover part of the Faroe Islands, England, Scotland, Wales, Iceland, Finland, Ireland, Russia, Sicily, Canada, Greenland, France, Ukraine, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland and Germany. In the 8th century the sudden and constant irruption of the Vikings could already be felt throughout the territory of Pictia. They were pagan Vikings of the wildest, most ruthless and ruthless profile composed of Finn-Gall or Norwegians, and Dubh-Gall or Danish.

The Vikings shared the same Nordic term at least during the early Middle Ages, especially in relation to monastic attacks and looting in England and Ireland. The nickname Northern Men became popular for the famous prayer A furore normannorum libera dominates us ("From the fury of the northern men deliver us Lord"), no doubt attributable to the monks of the monasteries plundered by Viking raids over the centuries VIII and IX.

atman means 'eternal self'. the atman refers to the real self beyond ego or false self. it is often referred to as 'spirit' or 'soul' and indicates our true self or essence which underlies our existence.

there are many interesting perspectives on the self in hinduism ranging from the self as eternal servant of god to the self as being identified with god. the understanding of the self as eternal supports the idea of reincarnation in that the same eternal being can inhabit temporary bodies.

the idea of atman entails the idea of the self as a spiritual rather than material being and thus there is a strong dimension of hinduism which emphasises detachment from the material world and promotes practices such as asceticism. thus it could be said that in this world, a spiritual being, the atman, has a human experience rather than a human being having a spiritual experience.
