Paramhamsa

It's not possible to attain Paramhamsa state without doing KarmaYoga or Kriya Yoga. We humans do 'japa' (general meaning - counting and chanting on beads) of the mantra "Ham-Sa" on an average of 21600 times a day, by breathing in and out. By doing Atma Karma (Kriya) the state when the breathing gets absolute stillness or stops, is known as 'Paramhamsa' state. This state is our coveted ultimate calmness or salvation which means a state ahead of "Hamsa" ('Parabastha') (extreme condition where Hamsa is no more there - a perfect stillness). By doing Kriya whoever achieves this state is 'Paramhamsa'. Paramhamsa is not a mere title or salutation.
