Soham Tattva describes the journey of the seeker of transcendental knowledge. The author of the book tries to share his experience and attempts to describe the transcendental state that is almost impossible to describe with the help of human language, human feelings, and human knowledge. The inexpressible state can only be attained after overcoming the numerous obstacles scattered across the path of Yoga that leads to the knowledge of Self or Atma Jnana. This book provides a glimpse of the different stages a Yogi passes through in his/her transcendental journey and how he/she should differentiate among the different phases that are usually associated with the state of a sentient being or the embodied existence of the Jeeva and reject the unreal states until he/she attains the real state of Brahma. Soham Tattva was originally written in Bengali and was first published in 1910. This is its English Edition.
Soham Swami
Paramhangsa Soham Swami (1858-1918) was an Advaitin monk. In his pre-monastic days he was known as Shyamakanta Bandopadhyay. He was famous across the Bengal Presidency in the last two decades of the 19th century for his unusual vocation – wrestling with tigers. His goal was to instil fearlessness in the minds of people of a subjugated nation and prepare them for the war of independence. At the age of 41, abandoning wealth, family, and fame, he became an ascetic and realized the Truth of Self in Samadhi. To eradicate superstition and social, religious, and gender-based discriminations that were obstacles to the development of India, in the last 10 years of his life he wrote copiously on Advaitavad or the philosophy of non-dualism.
