It is believed that OM was emitted during the moment when the entire Universe was coming into being, due to a cosmic explosion. In other words, it is the universe's tremendous voice or the Supreme Lord himself. Om Sound is cosmic enough to vibrate and radiate on its own, unlike other sounds that require two objects to strike to generate them. When a person chants this mantra profoundly, the Om vibration from their body harmonises with their spirit, uniting them with the One who exists beyond this Universe.
OM –The Essence Of ‘A’ ‘U’ ‘M’ Vibrations
The existence of this Vedic Mantra has been extensively documented in the ancient religious literature as well as modern sources. Om, they claim, is both a sound and a symbol "ॐ" both of which are deeply rooted and everlasting, and which lead to great understanding. When one correctly pronounces the Om Mantra, a hum spreads throughout their body and spirit as the vibration "AUM."
'A', 'U', and 'M' are three separate but united phonetic parts of "OM" that are linked to the Cosmic Energy created at the moment of Creation and symbolise the three essential principles of life: Creation, Preservation, and Destruction. When someone says the Om mantra, the AUM that comes out of their body correlates –
· The letter 'A' represents the waking or conscious state of consciousness known as Jagrata.
· The letter 'U' stands for Svapna, a dream or unconscious state of thought.
· The letter 'M' stands for Sushupti, a type of deep or profound slumber.
· After the Uchcharan of ‘A', ‘U', ‘M,' there is another element in the stillness, which is the Chaturth or pure consciousness, also known as Turiya. It is thought to be the state of freedom, or beyond profound slumber, as it surpasses the three stages of awareness.
Om chanting takes a person on a spiritual journey through the three levels of awareness to the ultimate realisation, which is Liberation.
