Pronunciation

Hear It Spoken

Full Translation

Also called the Siri Gaitri Mantra, this is an eight-sound healing mantra. Each syllable carries a meaning: Ra (the sun), Ma (the moon), Da (the earth), Sa (infinity), Sa Say (the totality of infinity), So (a personal sense of merger), and Hung (the infinite, vibrating reality). Together "So Hung" affirms "I am Thou" — the union of the individual with the infinite.

Spiritual Significance

It is considered the most important healing meditation in Kundalini Yoga: chanted to channel healing energy to oneself or others, balancing the elements of sun and moon, earth and infinity within the practitioner.

Cultural Context & History

The mantra comes from the Kundalini Yoga tradition brought to the West by Yogi Bhajan. Snatam Kaur's rendition on her 2004 album "Grace" made it one of the most recognized healing chants in the global yoga community.
