Soham or Sohum (सो ऽहम् so'ham[1]) is a Hindu mantra, meaning "I am" in Sanskrit.[2][3]
This article contains Indic text. Without proper rendering support, you may see question marks or boxes, misplaced vowels or missing conjuncts instead of Indic text.
In Vedic philosophy it means identifying Brahman with the universe or ultimate Brahman.[2]
The mantra is also inverted from so 'ham (the sandhi of saḥ + aham) to ham + sa. The combination of so 'haṃ haṃsaḥ has also been interpreted as "I am Swan", where the swan symbolizes the Atman.[4]
