Ātma hṛdaye

Ātma hṛdaye

 

Hṛdayam mayi

Aham amṛte

Amṛtam anāndam brahmāni
 

My true nature is the heart.
The heart is my true nature.
I am the bliss of the heart.
The Heart that I am
is the unending bliss of Oneness.

Ātma hŗdaye is a chant from the heart, to the heart. Chanting this mantra with full heartedness we shift into the knowing of its message, "The heart that I am is the unending bliss of Oneness".

This chant is an amended form of the Laghunyasah mantra from the Taittiriya Brahmana (10.3.8) and might date to the first century BCE.
