The Power of Om. Om is an ancient mantra that is used in Hinduism and Buddhism, among other faiths. In the Hindu tradition, the sound om is said to contain the entire universe. It is the first sound from the beginning of time, as well encompassing the present and the future. As such, its importance and power are difficult to overstate. It is also a seed syllable, used as a building block for other mantras.
This Sanskrit word is both a mystical symbol in Hinduism, Buddhism and Jainism, as well as an incantation intoned at the start or the end of a reading, mantra or prayer. Om or Aum is also said to represent the Brahman, or the impersonal Absolute of Hindusim, who is omnipotent, omnipresent and the source of all life. Just as God is to other religions, Brahman cannot be understood or perceived fully.
