Help needed

[Guest guest]

Dear All,

 

Could someone tell me, the complete shloka of SOHAM (I am He) and the textual

source of it.

 

Also, kindly inform about the right shloka of Shankara's 'Ekam Brahma Dwayam

Naasti)...I think this is not the right one. Again would be glad to also know

the exact source of the text. Or any other Shloka by Shankara that captures the

essence of Advaita.

 

Thanks and Regards,

Vinayak Lohani

Namaste,

 

Another well-known line:

 

ekamevaadvayaM brahma neha naanaasti kiJN{}chana ..

 

is the refrain for verses 464-470 in Vivekachudamani.
