I am constantly saying - my and mine, but who am I? Am I the body or the mind? What is consciousness - the awareness of my existence that creates the feeling that ＂I exist＂. From where did my consciousness arise? Is it a property of my body or mind? Or, is it beyond my body and mind? What is my relationship with this world? From where did I come, and where will I depart after death? What are the need for religion, God, scripture, temples, idols, worship, and the different modes of spiritual pursuits? Can they unravel my reality? Why do I suffer? How can I find bliss? Soham Gita answers these questions and more in a simple language in the light of Advaitavada, the universal wisdom of non-duality. It dispels superstitions and challenges religious orthodoxy and fanaticism. Soham Gita is the first written work of Soham Swami. It was written in verses in Bengali, the native tongue of the author. The English prose translation of the book is now available for interested readers.
