Significance Of 'Aum' In Hinduism
The Hindu symbol 'Aum' or 'Om' is one of the most important symbols of Hinduism. You must have seen the Aum symbol featuring almost everywhere and on everything that is connected to Hinduism. Have you ever wondered as to what this symbol is all about?
Aum is a syllable in Sanskrit which is supposed to be the first sound of the Universe. The symbol is described as the all-encompassing mystical entity in the Upanishads. The vibration created by the chanting of Aum symbolises that manifestation of God. The sound is the reflection of absolute reality.
The syllable 'Aum' has three distinct sounds A (a-kara), U (oo- kara) and M (ma- kara). When taken letter by letter, A-U-M represents the divine energy (Shakti) united in its three elementary aspects: Bhrahma Shakti (creation), Vishnu Shakti (preservation) and Shiva Shakti (liberation, and/or destruction). It is the sound of creation, preservation and destruction.
SYMBOLISM OF HINDU PUJA RITUALS
Let us know a bit more about the significance of Aum in Hinduism.
The
Inner
Meaning
As
per
Mandukya
Upanishad,
- The "A" stands for the state of wakefulness, in which we experience everything externally through our mind and sense organs.
- The "u" stands for the dream state, in which we have inward experience.
- The sound "m" represents the sate of deep sleep where there is no desire and consciousness is gathered in upon itself.
The
Trinity
The
Aum
symbol
also
represents
the
holy
Trinity
of
Brahma,
Vishnu
and
Shiva.
Symbolically
the
three
letters
embody
the
divine
energy
(Shakti)
and
it's
3
main
characteristics:
- beginning of the universe
- the life period of universe
- destruction of the universe
Significance
Of
Chanting
Aum
The
sound
AUM,
when
chanted,
vibrates
at
the
frequency
of
432
Hz,
which
is
the
same
vibrational
frequency
found
throughout
everything
in
nature.
So,
when
we
chant
Aum
the
vibration
in
us
resonates
with
the
universal
vibration
which
elevates
us
from
our
normal
state
of
consciousness
and
connects
us
to
that
of
the
divine
which
helps
us
in
realising
our
true
self.
To add in, the vibrations of the syllable causes our mind to relax and slows down our nervous system, calms down our mind like in the state of meditation. When you mind gets this kind of relaxation, you blood pressure comes down to normal and your heart health is improved.
So, as we saw Aum as one of the most important symbol in Hinduism and is the mark of everything that is God.
