Significance of AUM

AUM is a natural sound. In Sanskrit A stand for Brahma, U for Vishnu and M for Shiva. The combination of three powers makes up AUM and this combination embodies God with creative, sustaining and destructive powers.

AUM, the sound, is in our blood. The first sound that a baby makes is A, then Uuh and then the word Ma. This natural sound connects us to God. In Hindu culture, the baby is considered very pure with no ideology and therefore close to God.

AUM in English is equivalent to GOD; G for generative power, O for operative power and D for destructive power. The sound of AUM can activate and open all the seven charkas especially the sahasrar, which is located at the top of the head. According to Hindu culture that is where God resides. AUM was discovered by the rishis. Rishis are the people who can see the truth.

How can you see these hidden powers in yourself? It is known that new cells are always forming in our bodies, other cells are always dying and something always remains the same -- Brahma, Shiva and Vishnu. Our memory, which remains the same and connects us to the past, is called the operative power. Everything is a combination of these three powers. For example, if you want to change a gold earring to a bracelet the goldsmith will melt (Shiva, destructive power) the gold (Vishnu, operative power that which stays the same) and make a new bracelet (Brahma, generative power).

You can learn to chant the sound of AUM in a certain way to activate all the chakras. Also certain colors are created through the chanting of this sound. When you chant AUM you are already improving yourself. Most religions are utilizing this sound. In Christianity it is the word amen. Chanting benefits the person physically, mentally, and spiritually.

  • One is all there is on the other side. I am a 15 year old boy who has almost died from a heart-attack. I have seen the other side, its hard to rationalize, its hard to place it in words. One who achieves Nirvana does not try to summarize it in words, for it is much more than the text you are reading. Atman-Brahmin is much more than anything. It is everything, it is nothing. I can assure you all, death is nothing to fear, and Krishna is within you. You are within I.

  • The sound "Om" comes from projecting any signal over a spherical object. A Sphere is the entirety of life. Consider the diameter of a sphere. You are born at one point of the diameter and attain salvation at the other point of the diameter. The emptiness inside the sphere is the possible paths you can take to attain salvation. Salvation if attained before death, will enable the person to illuminate his future!. So, he will take the right path to salvation. Open your third eye and learn truth!.

  • om is the ultimate truth it is the present,past,future & it is in all for the existance of this materialistic world, om denotes atomic vibrations which is forming matter,life,living & non living things,sanatana dharma is great

  • Aum holds several meaning as per vedas/Puranas. God is universal donor. It never " takes" any thing fm u except the 1 which is against the mother nature. That is why in sanathana principle all saints/rishis transformed in to "Veda surya", the unseen light by normal human which engulf the entire universe.

    Please visit NASA's recorded "sound of Sun". Sun emits Aum vibration from its core and makes ripples on its plasma surface which in turn reprocess the fuel, so that it gets rejuvenated.

  • @maximgrg how can he be too young for it? It just happened to him, without his own control. And It leaved him an extraordniary experince of life and death. Not many young people can look at life as he does, as he proves through his wonderful comment.

  • Aum. 

    In the beginning was the word, and the word was with God, and the word is God.

    - John 1:1

  • @PushSkateCrew heart attack at 15?? dude take care of urself...u r waaay too young for this thing..

  • Dear Dr. and Master Acharya Shree,

    Namaste! Does 'Aum' / 'Ohm' / 'Om' has anything to do with the Romanian 'Om', presumably created by phonetic accident from Classic Latin (--> Vulgar Latin)? I ask *because* I am Romanian, and that my History class taught me, as it seems,.. a lie.

    Dhanyavad!

  • @jhanayoga I would consider Aum to be a non-natural sound as it is supposed to be the sound of the universe as it is not creating from mechanical vibrations but rather by pure energy. It really is a paradox.

  • @PushSkateCrew What fine words, we are blessed beyond our imagination.
