OM (also called AUM)
commonly used along with the other mantra "NaMASiVaYa"
"OM NaMaSiVaYa"
Om , according to Hindus is the sound of creation that pervades the entire universe(universes-if you are into astro-physics and know about super strings-M theory)
Om also means "That which hath No Beginning nor End", its commonly used to Yoga-Meditation as well
Frijof Carpa, the Italian Astrophysicist who wrote the world famous "Tao Of Physics", and the famous Carl Sagan talk about the Om being the basis of creation-the residue leftover from the big-bang
