So-Hum Mantra

 So hum so hum hamsa so hum
So hum so hum hamsa so hum
So hum hamsa so hum
So hum hamsa so hum

Hamsa/Sohum is the sound of the perennial mantra of inhalation and exhalation. It is consciousness Herself, carried on the wings of the breath, repeating Her own mantra through us as we listen. This mantra may be chanted or repeated silently within as an object of concentration and meditation.


Hamsa SoHum

The Great Healing Mantra, dedicated to Baba Hari Dass, on the day of his transformation into Formlessness. So much love, and so much gratitude.
