Yoga And Yoga Asanas - To Invoke With Om, The Universal Sound



The Evolution Of All Sounds - The Vibration Of An Intelligent Cosmos


  • Our ancient Rishis(Sages) progressed from identifying God or naming His characteristics to an experience of At-Onement (Atonement), in which He was Arupa, without form or attributes; Agami, without function or outward expression; and Anami, unnameable. 
  • The futility, confusion, and eventual violence that would result from the dissemination, inissionarising, proselytizing, and violent battles to protect or impose these names and ideas on others was apparent to these Rishis. 


They were, nevertheless, able to tolerate anybody who still needed or used a name in any language for God, His rules, and His manifestation methods. 


  • Some of these Rishis were brilliant scientists who described God in terms of the universe as a whole. 
  • They explained that limiting an infinite power by taking three, four, or any number of words from any language. 
  • If this force is the totality of all feelings and experiences, then He must also be considered the sum of all language, thinking, action, and expression. 

Even man would not even come close to identifying it! or comprehending this power, because naming God would necessitate employing the entire alphabet of every race, in every clime, in all times, past, present, and future, as well as all ciphers, codes, gestures, and meaningful symbols; yet, this could not be the name of God, because God must be more than any of this. 


God must exist beyond the print of this page, as well as the mind that conjures up any notion of God in the form of word, thought, or symbol. 


  • A solitary Prateeka, symbol, remained at the end of futility, the final remnant of human thinking. 
  • This Prateeka served as a guidepost indicating the way higher up; 
  • Thus the name Pranava, which means "that which existing before the ideation, mentation, mentalization, production, or birth of a lorm." 
  • The essence, the source, the aim lies beyond the sign: no words, no actions—stillness-inaudible, ineffable AUM as experience. 
  • Before all ceremonies, rituals, and the usage of any other Mantra, the Pranava OM or AUM is utilized as a universal invocation of this exalted experience. 


It is stated in all of our old Sanskrit scriptures that reciting a Mantra without the Pranav OM results in a curse rather than a blessing. 


  • OM is a Mantra in and of itself, and it is the most global and best of all Mantras in my opinion. 
  • You may say it out loud or just think it in your head. 
  • OM rhymes with the sound of HOME: AUM must be learned carefully, with each component pronounced as an OoMnim. 
  • From one India language to the next, the venue form of OM and AUM varies. 
  • Even in Sanskrit, it may be written in its entirety or in a more condensed version.
