Aum (also Om or Ohm, ) is the most sacred syllable in Hinduism, symbolizing the infinite Brahman and the entire Universe. This syllable is sometimes called the "Udgitha" or "pranava mantra" (primordial mantra), because it is considered to be the primal sound, and because most mantras begin with it. It first appeared prominently in the Vedic Tradition. As a seed syllable (bija), it is also considered holy in Esoteric Buddhism.

Om is the eternal sound vibration representation of God. It is nondifferant from God it is not a sectarian word. It is completely spiritual. Krishna (God) Played His Flute at the time of creation which gave this sound vibration om and He empowered Lord Brahma (Co Creator) to create all living entities in the material world. So those who want to know about the big bang. It is actually the big Om and God made the sound. So that is science and Spirituality in one. The Vedas are in agreement with other scriptures, they just give the knowledge of creation in great detail. Go to www.stephen-knapp for more information.

It is considered a mantra. I tried speaking it for awhile while sitting in a semi-lotus position but couldn't seem to make my mind go blank. Later, I learned that may have been a good thing, because deceptive spirits often enter under such mental conditions.

Since you posted in the religious section, I assume you refer to Operation Mobilization (global Christian missionary organization)
Though the answer before me looks promising.
