The Self (Atman) · I am That

हंसः सोऽहम्

Hamsah So'ham

Meaning

Hamsah — the swan that migrates between shores. So'ham — "I am That." Every breath already whispers it.

Why chant this

Ajapa japa — the mantra that repeats itself with breath. Sa on inhale, Ham on exhale. 21,600 times a day, effortlessly. Deepen it consciously and awareness stabilises.

Pronunciation

Do not chant aloud. Simply listen — Sooo (in), Hummm (out).
