Meaning of the Mantra OM Print E-mail
Written by H.H. Mahamandaleshwar Paramhans Maheshwarananda   

ImageLearn about the vision that led H.H. Swamiji to build Yoga in Daily Life's international epicentre in India in the form of the symbol OM.  The mantra OM embraces “all that exists” – past, present and future, all spheres of the cosmos, the world and its underlying reality, mind and matter, cause and effect, the path and the goal.  The Mantra OM is the “name of God”, the vibration of the Supreme, the all-encompassing Mantra.  The essence of all wisdom has its roots in this sound.  In the triad A-U-M the divine energy (Shakti) is united in its three elementary aspects as:

BRAHMĀ SHAKTI – the creative power that manifests the Universe
VISHNU SHAKTI – the preserving power that sustains the Cosmos
SHIVA SHAKTI – the liberating power that brings about transformation and renewal.
