Among the many sacred mantras that echo through the paths of yoga and meditation, few are as direct and empowering as Hum Hi Hum Brahm Hum.
It is a mantra of self-remembrance — a powerful affirmation that the divine is not separate from us but lives within us as our very essence.
Chanting this mantra awakens the deep truth that we are not limited beings;
we are, at our core, one with the infinite, eternal Brahman — the absolute reality.
🕉️ The Mantra
Hum Hi Hum Brahm Hum
✨ Translation and Meaning
The mantra can be broken down and understood as:
- Hum Hi Hum — "We are we," or "I am I," affirming a full acceptance of the Self.
- Brahm Hum — "I am Brahman," the ultimate reality, pure consciousness, beyond all dualities.
Altogether, the mantra means:
"I am that I am.
I am the Infinite Consciousness.
I am one with the Divine."
It’s a mantra of realization — not a plea, not a request — but a confident statement of what is already true.
🌿 The Spiritual Essence
