2. Mantra, is a sacred utterance (syllable,
word, or verse) that is considered to
possess spiritual efficacy.
Various mantras are either spoken aloud
or merely sounded internally in one’s
thoughts, and they are either repeated
continuously for some time or just
sounded once.
Repetition of or meditation on a
particular mantra can lead one to a higher
level of spiritual awareness.
3. OM, a sacred syllable that is considered to be the
greatest of all the mantras, or sacred formulas.
The syllable om is composed of the three
sounds A-U-M
In Sanskrit, the vowels a and u combines to
become ’O’, that represent many key triads:
the three worlds of earth, atmosphere, and
heaven; thought, speech, and action;
the three qualities of matter (goodness, passion,
and darkness); and the three sacred Vedic
scriptures (Rigveda, Yajurveda, and Samaveda).
Thus, OM mystically embodies the essence of the
entire universe.
