A term
from Hebrew that translates to, “I Will Be What I Will Be.” “I AM” is also
derived from the Sanskrit Om (pronounced: A-U-M), whose three letters signify
the three aspects of God as beginning, duration, and dissolution – Brahma,
Vishnu, and Shiva. The AUM syllable is known as the
omkara
and translates to “I AM Existence,” the name for God. “Soham,”
is yet another mystical Sanskrit name for God, which means “It is I,” or “He is
I.” In Vedic philosophy, it is claimed that when a child cries, “Who am I?” the
universe replies, “Soham – you are the same as I AM.” The I AM teachings also
use the name “Soham” in place of “I AM.”
