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).
