Learn to Meditate Using OM: The Sound of Universe
OM or AUM is the most important and significant word of Mantra
tradition. It is considered as the root mantra of all mantra. In
a majority of Mantra, you will find OM.
OM is the most often chanted sound among all the sacred sounds
on earth. This sound is considered as the sound of the existence.
It is believed that the whole universe, in its fundamental form,
is made up of vibrating, pulsating energy. Om is considered as
the humming sound of this cosmic energy.
OM is said to be the original primordial creative sound from
which the entire universe have manifested. It is also known as
the 'Anahat Nada', the "Unstruck Sound". This means the sound
that is not made by two things striking together.
If you observe the nature of sound you'll find that all ordinary
audible sound are produced by the striking of two objects : bow
and strings, drum and stick, two vocal cords, waves against the
shore, winds against the leaves, bat against the ball, tires
against the road etc. In short all sounds within our range of
listening are produces by things visible or invisible, striking
each other or vibrating together, resulting in pulsating waves
of air molecules which we interprets as sound.
In contrast to the above, OM is the sound which is not the
result of the striking of two objects. It, rather emanates on
its own. It is the primal sound of the universe that contains
all sounds in itself.
The meaning of OM
Well unlike all other mantra, there is no meaning of OM. It is
actually not a word, it is a sound. As per Hindu tradition, OM
is the purest name of God. It
is the sound of the supreme
consciousness. So when you reapeat OM, you actualy take the name
of God.
Now without going into the further philosophical explanation of
OM, let us learn how to meditate using OM. Repetition of OM or
AUM dissolves the mind it its divine source. The chanting of OM
several time loud, purifies the atmosphere.
Sit in a comfortable undisturbed place. Take some deep breath.
Now chant at least 7 times OM in succession. Make each breath
last as long as possible. Teak deep breath and chant
Oooooooo~~~~~hhhhhhhhhh~~~~~ Mmmmmmm~~~~~. Then again repeat
this chanting of OM. Do this for 7 times. After this, stop
chanting and sit for a moment of silence. You will be amazed by
the inner peace you'll get in such a small chanting of OM.
Listen the sound of Universe : Let us listen the sound of OM.
You are requested to listen carefully. This sound of OM produces
instant positive vibrations and takes the listener to a state of
mental stillness.
Chanting the OM mantra for 15 minutes daily can produce
remarkable effect in you. This mantra will help you to calm the
mind, settled the thought process and realize the self.
