Om is a vibrational energy field

•         Consciousness is a function of the natural frequency and the vibrational energy field which is a function of AUM that changes the vibration of an entity, which is always nearing each other creating destroying, and maintaining a universe from a quantum state.
•         Vedic physics states that time is subtle energy or force which is manifested before the cosmic manifestation. Time moves the unmanifest material energy and controls the movements in the universe. Without the manifestation of time, the unmanifest material energy cannot become active and take form.
•         Here lies the clue after the time fluctuations agitate; for the frequency; f, which is 1/(T ) a function of time. In simple terms is called vibration              ( periodic back-and-forth motion of the particles)
•         Hence you may have noted that there are many uses of the symbol AUM. It is not to propagate religion but would like you to get connected with consciousness with the vibrational energy field.
•         Note; Vibrating Field is pure energy that vibrates a field around it, and then this vibrating field of energy which is attracted like a magnet attaches to the energy of the same vibrating frequency. In our argument, it is the OM vibrations. The more vibrating energy that is compressed into this field of energy, the more intense the vibration gets within that field. Eventually, the energy field manifests into matter: particle-by-particle. As the father of Quantum Physics, Max Planck, once said, “All the physical matters are composed of vibration.”

·        NO difference between chanting OM or AUM

·        In Sanskrit, the sound "O" is spelled as a diphthong "AU". Hence, there is no difference between AUM and OM as both are transliterations of the same Sanskrit word.

·        The moment I see the OM symbol anywhere the cosmic vibration gets me connected and mentally I start chanting.

·        Trust the vibes you get, energy doesn’t lie

 Sri Chakra

• When the sound AUM is fed through a device called TONOSCOPE, it is found to have developed a pattern on the screen and the pattern resembled Sri chakra which is a microscopic representation of the body and the universe.
•         Consciousness can communicate and commune with Reality at the highest level through sound and vibrations. Realizing this Sanatan Dharma has used the tri-syllable AUM to create the vibration of singularity, which originated in the Human Body, and used the Shree Yantra to create a resonance of the vibration of OM
•         Yantra means 'instrument' or 'machine' in Sanskrit.  The three main types of Chakra are plane, pyramidal, and spherical.
•         The Chakra is formed by nine interlocking triangles that radiate from the center. It represents the goddess in the form of Tripura Sundari.
•         The yantra represents the union of the masculine and feminine divinity.

 If one makes the sound of OM in front of a drop of liquid, it will transform itself into a Sri Yantra which is a very specific visual form that is symmetrical and also holographic. This Sri Yantra was revealed to Maharishis with 12-strand DNA and king-sized pineal glands more than 8000 BC. Sanskrit Mantras have a precise golden ratio of 1.618 sound harmonics (Fibonacci/ Sri Yantra ) in digital mathematical and geometrical precision and Sri Yantra is based on that ratio. The cymatics of OM is the Sri Yantra whose angle was used to construct the Egyptian Pyramids.

 “Om” pattern with the help of Tonoscope

•          “Tonoscope”….. It's a device invented by Dr. Hans Jenny, basically, tonoscope is a device that makes sound visible by displaying vibrations or Tonoscope is a general term for a mechanical device that produces a visual form of an audible sound.
•         “Om” pattern with the help of tonoscope= SHRI YANTRA'S PATTERN
•         Or the AUMMM is found to have developed a pattern on the screen when fed through tonoscope . The pattern so developed resembles the core structure of Sri Chakra which is a microcosmic representation of the universe as well as the human body. Many such experiments and research can be found on the net.

 Ohm evolved from the Tamil language

• Technically we cannot create OhM by chanting, we only imitate a vibration sympathetic to the vibration that is already there.
• It is not a chant made by us, created by us, or initiated by us. Rather, we establish a connection between ourselves and the Supreme Reality, which manifests itself as sound vibration in the form of Ohm.
• Sometimes, if you even sit very quietly, you will hear the sound of Ohm, like a distant cosmic hum. Listen within you; it’s not outside you, it is you.
• When your mind is quiet and you listen, you will hear a divine humming”.

Note;

Further to add, you need to understand some terminologies available in Tamil - related to various sounds. Our ancestors classified all the sounds created by nature with suitable names as ReenkAram (ரீங்காரம்).rīṅkāram ….ReengAram, AangAram, VoongAram, OngAram, etc,.

• ✔The continuous low noise was called as ReenkAram (ரீங்காரம்).rīṅkāram - Humming, as of bees & other insects. (வண்டு, தேனீ, பூச்சிகளின் ஒலி).
• ✔The loud & deep roaring sound of the sea was called as AangAram (ஆங்காரம்).
• ✔OongAram (ஊங்காரம்) is to utter or emit a full loud prolonged sound - like a horrifying hurricane sound. (ஊழிக்காற்று) and finally,
• ✔OngAram(ஓங்காரம்) /OhM... the loudest of all sounds; it is the sound of the Universe, the Cosmic hum which is present everywhere.

Why all mantras must have AUM?

•         'A' and 'U' are the parents of all vowels in Sanskrit. Letter 'M' is a consonant that produces powerful vibrations by the movement of the mandible, lips, and teeth.
•         Normally, each line in Hindi ends with a nasal consonant. AUM is formed by combining a vowel ('O' or 'AU') and a nasal consonant (M) every sound that begins with a vowel and ends with a consonant gives some kind of mental peace to the mind. This is why no mantra is complete without a vowel or a nasal consonant. Sounds producing a vowel sound are very natural for the body
•         Chanting of vowels produces a chemical interleukin-2 that relaxes the body by removing the strain from the body. Chanting AUM stimulates delta activity in the brain to produce EEG waves that tranquilize the mind.
•         Since AUM facilitates a peaceful and calm mind, AUM is repeated multiple times in all Hindu mantras.   
•     Mantras provide us with the power to attain our goals and lift ourselves from the ordinary to a higher level of consciousness. Chanting mantras brings many positive effects on the mind and body.

AUM with Yoga

• If you've attended a yoga class before, you've probably been led through a round or two of "Om" chanting at the beginning or end. Unless you practice Sanatan Dharma, that might be your only experience with Om, but it's actually a sacred symbol and syllable. And yes — its significance extends far beyond any boutique yoga class.
• The benefits of chanting AUM and yoga is well backed by medical science. Since the beginning of this universe, AUM has been used as the first aid to cure diseases. If you are a believer of science and think that there is no way AUM sound can do anything to the soul and body, then think once again.
• Infrasound and ultrasound are used in the cure of many diseases. Ultrasound frequencies above 20 kHz are used to cure kidney stones and tumors. It is chanted as the daily dose for a peaceful mind and body by spiritual aspirants. "Brahmvarchas Shodh Sansthan" is the leading research center on spiritual science that has carried out several experiments to study the healing of diseases by chanting mantras.

How to practice AUM meditation

• Sit in a comfortable meditation posture with dignity and ease.
• Take 3 deep breaths to interiorize your awareness.
• On your next exhale (out-breath), chant AUM slowly.  Pronounce each syllable ‘A’, ‘U’, and ‘M’, with a gradual transition from one to another. Read more on the pronunciation guide here.
• Notice the silence and lingering vibration in your body during the inhale between two repetitions of AUM chanting.
• While chanting you can focus on the vibrations created by your voice or on the space between your eyebrows or at your heart center.
• Try to be completely aware of the sound of AUM. Feel as though your whole body and mind is resonating in harmony with the sound.
• You can chant aloud for 12, 24, 36,…or 108, then transition to mentally chant AUM while bringing all your attention to the space between your eyebrows.
• When you feel a pulse-like sensation at the eyebrow center synchronize it with the mental sound of AUM.
• Continue in this manner for as long as you have time.
• End practice by chanting AUM loudly 3 times.

Aum chanting Sadhana is very simple. You need to chant Aum 21 or 108 times (or for a longer period for intense Sadhana) with closed eyes and keep the focus on the inner vibration. It is critical that we chant it in the right manner.

Brahmi Sript- AUM and Swastika

·        Om symbol is described in Devanagri Script in our times.

·        The concept of Om is far older than certain historians are willing to believe as they exclude the fact that the word and more likely the symbology goes back to the Brahmi Script of Ancient India.

·        In fact the Swastika symbol of Ancient India shows resemblance to a combined lettering in Brahmi Script which would mean Aum.

·        It would make logical sense for this to be the case as “Swast” and “Tika” are words from Indian Sanskrit and mean when combined, “Symbol of Good, or Good Fortune”. Thus, the Aum when written in Devanagari Script is doing much the same on a morphological level.

·        After about 200 A.D. the symbol Aum began to resemble its current form. It has sacred properties both in written form and spoken form which is even older.

Eternal Symbol OM

·        AUM interested the first humans with an activated intelligence to investigate and understand the approaching vibrations from the beginning of time. The inspired yogis deciphered it with meditation and called it the hum of the universe. Later known as AUM, the tri-syllabic word.

·        It was regarded as a vibration that stimulated all that exist, so to be in harmony with it, the Vedic thinkers and Maha Rishis created a ritual to propagate its importance. Today after thousands of years we still continue the ritual of repeating and synchronizing our vibrations with that of the universe. In the misty past, many salient features were forgotten but we just know their importance.

·        Om symbol gave us the freedom to describe the image of Aum in our own representations. When the image of Aum is seen by a devotee he or she would recite the mantra Aum mentally in a state of meditative consciousness. Therefore the visual image of AUM is important to a Hindu and where necessary it would be used by the observer to meditate on AUM.

The symbol is one of peace, tranquillity, and unity and reminds people to understand the divinity all over as described today;

·        AUM-The most sacred sound of the universe

·        AUM- the primordial sound that creates this universe

·        How chanting AUM or mantra changes your DNA

·        How to change body forms by chanting AUM or mantra

·        Aum-The sacred syllable and sound of God

Om also Symbolizes:

·        Creation Preservation and Destruction

·        the vibration of Brahman.

·        Truth, the Absolute

·        the energy vibrating field of the universe.

·        Moksha and the means to it

Most of the rituals are derived from Upanishads-which are extensions of Vedas. Upanishad is the record that contains the spiritual experiences of all the maharishis who adopted the path of intense pain and continuous struggle to go beyond the transcendental nature of this universe and understand its spiritual significance, sages documented them for the betterment of human society.

 So be proud to be Sanatani with a proud history and heritage that lasted for eons.

Mandukya Upanishad

• Mandukya Upanishad. Om (pronounced: AUM) is the symbol of the highest truth, the Brahman. Is also the symbol for the three states of consciousness (jagriti, svapna, susupti), with the fourth transcendent state thuriya (bindi) being veiled by maya (chandra).
• The monosyllabic word, ‘Om’ is the Brahman.
• This closes the pronunciation of AUM just as deep sleep is the final stage of the mind at rest. Whenever AUM is recited in succession there is an inevitable period of silence between two successive AUM’s. This silence represents the “fourth state” known as “Turiya” which is the state of perfect bliss when the individual self recognizes his identity with the supreme.
• The symbol OM visually consists of three curves, one semicircle, and a dot.
• The large bottom curve symbolizes the waking state, A.
• The middle curve signifies the dream state, U.
• The upper curve denotes the state of deep sleep, M.
• The dot signifies the fourth state of consciousness, Turiya.
• The semi-circle at the top represents Maya and separates the dot from the other three curves. It signals to us that it is the illusion of Maya that is an obstacle to the realization of the Highest

Note the difference, Brahma is referred to as "The Creator" within the Trimurti,

Brahman as the ultimate reality of one 'Supreme Spirit'

 AUM in the Bhagavad Gita

• In Dwapara Yuga Bhagavan Krishna was a perfect representation of the ultimate divine entity in a human form. The narration of Sanjay in the conversation between Krishna and Arjun is soul searching experience in the Bhagavad Gita.
• OM is Krishna and Krishna is AUM
• Since Dwapara Yuga is nearest to our existence (entering Kali Yuga) we are gifted with Om as the dearest of all mantras.
• Read the Bhagavad Gita and understand Sanatan Dharma
• The essence of Bhagavad Gita can be well understood by knowing its five main topics – Isvara (God), Jiva (living entity), Prakriti (Material Nature), Kala (time), and Karma (Action). Gita says, the person whose mind is always free from attachment, who has subdued the mind and senses, and who is free from desires, attains the supreme perfection of freedom from Karma through renunciation.

AUM is the companion of Sanatan Dharma

The history of our Dharma is a grim reminder of our passing years. All this is recorded in the Vedas, which also tells us that OM is the sound incarnation of Brahman.

•          Aitareya Brahmanam discusses the formation of “Om”

·        Chandogya Upanishad advises us to meditate on “Om”

·        Mandukya Upanishad (12 mantra - the shortest but most profound) is fully about discussions on “Om” and the significance of each akshara, the bindu, and the great silence.

·        KaTa, Mundaka, Svetaashvataara, Maitrayaniya, etc. Upanishads discuss “Om” - thus all Veda discusses “Om”

·        In the longer “Gayatri mantra” - the “deergha vyaahrti” - ओम् भूः ओम् भुवः ओम् सुवः ओम् महः ओम् जनः ओम् तपः ओम् सत्यम् - means verily the “Om” is all the 7 loka.

·        Bhagavadgita discusses “Om” on many occasions - “Pranavah sarva vedeshu…”, “Om ityekaaksharam brahma…”, “Om tatsat iti…”, “Pavitram ‘Om’kaara…”, etc.

·        Yoga-sutra, Itihaasa, Puarana - in these in many places there are discussions “Om”

·        Yoga-vashista, HaTayoga texts, Smriti, all Acharyas - like this everything revers /discusses “Om”

·        In all “dhaarmika” religions (Sanaatana, Bauddha, Jaina, Sikha) - “Om” is, revered as it is.
