Om is a very powerful word.Meaning of Om is everything - this entire universe – because Om sustains everything. The entire universe means not only the physical universe, but also the experience within.
Om is an intonation, which, like music, transcends the barriers of age, race, culture. It is made up of three letters, aa, au and ma which, when combined together, make the sound Aum or Om. It is believed to be the basic sound of the world and to contain all other sounds. It is a mantra or prayer in itself.
"If repeated with the correct intonation, it can resonate throughout the body so that the sound penetrates the soul."
"According to the Mandukya Upanishad, "Om is the one eternal syllable of which all that exists is but the development. The past, the present, and the future are all included in this one sound, and all that exists beyond the three forms of time is also implied in it".
It is believed that "OM" is the mother of all languages. Repetition of "OM" enables us to maintain mental and emotional calmness, overcome obstacles and enable understanding.
