who knows why the hindu 'aum' is so significant ?

Question

when hindus chant aum its like a O, round ring, which means u dont know where it begins or ends, like god has no beginning and no end, so god has neither birth nor death, who agrees and and who can tell me more about aum ?

Answer 1

Aum (or Om, ॐ) is the sacred symbol of Hinduism, and is prefixed and sometimes suffixed to all Hindu mantras and prayers. Because it represents God, the supreme reality in three aspects of Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva, it is the symbol of the Hindu Dharma. It contains a deep symbolic message of the divine primordial vibration of the Universe, representing all existence, encompassing all of nature into the One Ultimate Reality. This symbol is commonly found on necklaces worn by Hindus. In the Upanishads, it is defined as an affirmation, as in allowing or saying 'yes'.

Answer 2

aum is supposed to be the most constant thing ever and it has all the sounds of the universe. by chanting it you can connect with god.....or so ppl say...and it's true tht it has no beginning or end coz it is an ongoing sound...

Answer 3

Om to be pronounced as Ooooo.......mmmmmm........ It is a meditation technique. Due to our ignorance, we tend to live a life which we know. So, our energy is not used properly. In the due course, this energy resides beneath our tummy. This energy can be taken up slowly from this level to a higher level through constant meditation practices. Om is one of the technique to rise up the energy level. When you start pronouncing Ooooooo.......mmmmmm.......you can feel that, on the start your belly gets inside and slowly it rises up to your chest and slowly it climbs up to your head.

Similar to Oooooo...mmmmmmm....Muslims use to pronounce Allaaaaaaaaaah oooooooooo Akbar. This is also a meditation technique to rise the energy level.

Now-a-days, in this fast paced world, this Ooooommmmm doesn't work. So, OSHO devised Huuuuu.

Also, YAAAAAAAHOOOOO is similar to Ooooommmmmm. Some sufis use YAAAABHOOOO.

Answer 4

aum is not just a religious word...in yoga n breething exercises we use the word ..when we say it there will b more blood flow to brain...it gives more power.....may b bcoz of dat its important in hinduism...hinduism is a natural religion

Answer 5

"

Rudi was a Spiritual Master of authentic, but lesser, degree. His Proficiency was, fundamentally, in the gross domain of the frontal personality, and in the Yogic Pattern of Spiritual Descent (or the Descending Yoga of the Frontal Line). Therefore, when My own foundational (or grosser human, and, also, frontal Spiritual, or Descending Yogic) Sadhana had been Completed in His Company, I (spontaneously) Passed from Rudi to Baba Muktananda.

Baba Muktananda was as His own Confession and Demonstration to Me clearly indicates an authentic Spiritual Master of Ascending Yoga, and His Proficiency was of a Very High, but not the Highest, degree. Therefore, beginning from the very day I first Came to Baba Muktananda, He (directly) Passed Me to Bhagavan Nityananda (Who was a Spiritual Master of Ascending Yoga Whose Proficiency was of the Highest degree).

Rang Avadhoot was even according to the Statements of both Bhagavan Nityananda and Baba Muktananda a Spiritual Master of Ascending Yoga Whose Proficiency was of the Highest degree, but He, along with Baba Muktananda, Deferred to Bhagavan Nityananda's Seniority, and (simply) Blessed Me to Pass On.

The "Cosmic Goddess" ("Ma") is, in the total context of the first five stages of life, Senior even to the Highest of Spiritual Masters. However, Ultimately, "She" (as an apparent Form and Person) is only another one of the many myths in the mind.

In the Great Yogic Spiritual Process Wherein I Experienced the Developmental Unfolding (and Demonstrated the "Radical" Transcending) of the gross and the subtle modes of egoity (associated with the first five stages of life), the "Cosmic Goddess" ("Ma") was "Apparently" associated with all the frontal (and Descending Spiritual) Events and with all the spinal (and Ascending Spiritual) Events. Nevertheless, in My Unique Case, sixth stage Transcendental (and causal-ego-Transcending, and Inherently Spiritual) Self-Realization always Occurred spontaneously (and in a progressive Demonstration) relative to each and every egoic stage of life, and It progressively Developed (especially after a spontaneous experience of ego-death, in the spring of 1967) until My spontaneous seventh stage (and Inherently Most Perfectly egoless, and Self-Evidently Divine) Re-Awakening (on September 10, 1970) Which Divine (and Avatarically Demonstrated) Re-Awakening was (and Is) associated with My Most Perfect Transcending even of the "Apparent She", in My Avataric Divine Re-Awakening to the Realization of One and Only Me.

Therefore, in due course, Bhagavan Nityananda (directly) Passed Me to the "Cosmic Goddess" ("Ma"), and, Thus, to Her direct Mastery of Me until the Perfectly Full became, at last, Perfectly Full As Me (Beyond the mind's own myth of "She").

So It was and Is. Such Is My Lineage of Spiritual Masters in This, My Avatarically Born human Lifetime. And, in My always Absolute heart-Fidelity to the Great Process Wherein and Where by I was Passed from one to the next of each and all of the Spiritual Masters within My present-Lifetime Lineage of Spiritual Masters, I have Exemplified, to all and All, the Law and the Truth of True Guru-Devotion.

Therefore, I have always Continued to Honor and to Praise all My present-Lifetime Lineage Gurus including Rudi!, and Baba Muktananda!, and Rang Avadhoot!, and Bhagavan Nityananda!, and (above all) the "Bright" Divine "She" of Me, Who Always Already Serves Me Most Perfectly!"
