[Advaita-l] 'I am the impeller of the samsāra tree'

[Dr. Yadu Moharir]

Namaste Subbu-Ji
Thank you for writing about my favorite quotation as a saadhaka.
I was not aware that this is recited by advatin's as a shanti mantra.
Do you have any details about who introduced this as a shanti paaTha for Advatins?

Thank you in advance

This mantra is part of the ShAnti pATha chanted by Advaitins everyday
before and after the study/teaching of the prasthanatraya.
