śrī mahānyāsam - 5.1. haṃsa gāyatrī

The Hamsa Gayatri is an esoteric component of the Mahanayasa, a foundational text belonging to the Krishna Yajurveda tradition. It centers on the meditation of the Paramhamsa, representing the Supreme Self or Ultimate Consciousness that resides within all beings. This stotra involves intricate nyasas—the ritual placement of mantras on the body—to purify the practitioner and align their energy centers. Chanting this mantra is believed to dissolve ignorance, bestow profound spiritual clarity, and facilitate the realization of the non-dualistic nature of the soul, ultimately guiding the seeker toward liberation and eternal divine wisdom.
