Soham (Sanskrit)
Soham or Sohum (Sanskrit: सो ऽहम्; so'ham) is a Hindu mantra literally meaning "That (is) I" in Sanskrit, implying "I am that". The mantra is a sandhi of saḥ + aham that can be inverted as ham + sa and is printed variously in the English language as So’ham, So Ham, So-aham, So Hum, Saham, Sa'ham, Sau-ha, Sah-karena, and Sahkara, with the latter two forms meaning "the sound of Sa." In Vedic philosophy, Soham means identifying oneself with Brahman, and the combination of so 'haṃ haṃsaḥ has also been interpreted as "I am Swan," where the swan symbolizes the Atman.
