Today’s Mantra – Soham
Soham meditation is also known as Hamsa, Hansa, and So Hum. Soham is a Sanskrit word, which means identifying oneself with the universe or ultimate reality. In terms of meditation, it can be broken down into two parts-Sooo, which is the sound of inhalation, and Hum, which is the sound of exhalation.
