THE WONDERS OF THE WORD AUM/OM IN
EVERYDAY LIFE
Every
religion has its own essence that is known to be the driving force to keep the
faith of the believer united with the roots of the religious teachings. Religious
preachers take it to be their duty to preserve these essences in the best of
forms so that the world can witness for years the power and magic that enfolds
through them.
For
years we have seen Hindu religious Pandits chanting a significant sound that at
times appears to be like a deep mumble and then we witnessed Yogis picking up
the mantra and now it has become a huge part of their entire culture. This
mantra is non-other than AUM-OM. This might not come out to be a shock to many
but this Mantra is being used worldwide by people of all religions, races and
creed. The generation of the word has a whole Hindu religious science behind
it. The Hindu religious belief explains that the Hindu Gods gave birth to the
entire Universe after they created sound. This also explains that Hindus
believe that the creation of the Earth/Universe is basically the result or the
output of the different sound frequencies. The vibrations that the sound
generates while you speak has a special core connection with people in your
close contact. If the rhythm and the vibrations connect then people connect and
if not then there shall remain differences.
In
Hindu teachings the word AUM has tri-nature meaning that can be best explained
when divided:
A- The
state of the complete consciousness - The waking
U- The
state of the unconsciousness - The dreaming
M- The
state of the sub-consciousness - The deep sleep.
The
symbol too depicts the three states of the syllables. The word also can be
symbolized to be containing the meaning- Origin.
Many
yogis begin and even end their yoga session with a casual but very important exhaling
and inhaling exercise based on the chanting of the mantra AUM/OM. There are
many uses of the mantra OM that can be applied in the daily life to achieve
spiritual and worldly healing. The power of OM can be explained as
encapsulating the entire universe in your imagination. This can be both
intimidating and powering.
USES OF WORD OM:
The
word OM is always used as a form of meditation since the way it is chanted or
recited creates a very soothingly, heavy effect on your spirit. People
especially Hindus chant the word OM and meditate through it. They try and find the
cure to all kinds of spiritual as well as worldly problems. It is thus, due to
the power of the word OM that Yogis have made it an avid part of their routine.
Once you begin meditating the word OM/AUM and the way you deliver the word
through your mouth creates the aura of healing. Soon after you being the
mantra, the vibration that is generated and the rhythm that builds balances out
your natural pulse thus calming your senses down and giving your brain power to
engage itself in bringing the universe in its imagination.
·
The
Hindus specifically prefer chanting OM while taking their bath. The vibrations
that are generated cause the blood flow to remain constant during the bath.
·
OM/AUM
is now an international symbol of meditation and is used world over because the
world has now realized its visible powers. OM/AUM is known to be an accepted
aura cleanser.
·
Not
just Hindus but people from different religions place the symbol of OM inside
their homes to create positive energy also to be a symbol of good luck and
blessings, especially in relationships.
·
The
symbol of OM has a very intriguing design and is one of the most popular
designs that is produced and is bought in jewelry items like rings and
pendants.
·
Playing
back the chanting of the OM Mantra early in the morning is said to bring good
luck and blessings in the house. This is though highly accepted in Hindu
culture for now.
· Chanting the mantra in your
free time can actually calm your senses, and release stress that you might have accumulated in the
day.
The
symbol has now been picked up by other religions that are most commonly
practiced in the Indian sub-continent. While it is remarkable to see how the
West has realized and understood the power of the Mantra, even after carrying
out a number of scientific research.
