Question

Om is related to vishnu, while chanting shiva panchakshari "namah shivaya" we will prefix OM why is that?

Answer 1

Om is not only related to Vishnu.
This is the sound of universe.
After the Big-Bang the sound created.
This humming sound is there even today.
(Ref: Vishwam_Vishnur_Vashatkarah.)

Brahma is the creation who represents the Past.
Vishnu is the status. He is present perfect Time.
Shiva is the futuristic destruction.
(Ref: Bhootha_Bhavya_Bhavath_Prabhuh).

This has been symbolized in all of these three Devas.
The symbolic approach done by giving them alphabets.
A-for Brahma; U- for Vishnu and M-for Shiva.

These three are AUM or (OM)
So that, the OM is related with all three Tatwas.

Om Namo Brahmane
Om Namo Narayanaaya
Om Namah Shivaaya.

Answer 2

OM or AUM is not related to anyone particularly viz. Shivaites or Vaishnavaits or to Shiva or Vishnu only. It is a Universal and basic thing. It is "The unmistakable central chord that vibrates throughout the vast tradition and literature of the Hindu religion is the power of the mantra. In fact if there is one thing that is common to all the votaries of the religion, spread through its multifarious sects and schools, it is the value and significance that get attached to mantras -- though the mantras themselves may differ from sect to sect and from school to school. The mantra may be just a name, naama, the name of a deity enshrined in a temple or of an avataara of God or of God thought of without any reference to a temple or location. Nowhere else in the world do we have anything to match the long streamlined poems, densely packed with meaning and seemingly endless recitals of the Lord's names, glories and splendours, with no sacrifice of poetic elegance or grace. The rhythmic sound effects and the elevating moods that these poems of praise can produce must be heard to be believed."

The names of God have been given great sanctity by the vedas themselves. That is where we find the basic mantras such as Om namah sivaaya, Om namo naaraayanaaya, where the names themselves contribute to the significance of the mantras. Om by itself is the mystic word which is most important for the religious and spiritual pursuit of a Hindu. Without an explanation and understanding of this word no study of Spirituality in Hindu religion may be complete. The word consists of a triad of three sounds (maatras), namely 'a' (as the 'u' in 'but'), 'u' (as the 'u' in 'put') and 'm'.This is why many texts referring to this word use the spelling 'aum' thus emphasizing the three 'maatras' which make up 'om'. The term maatra is used for the upper limb of the deva-naagari characters and a syllabic instant in prosody. The esoteric significance of these three maatras and the myriads of connotations that they stand for are the subject matter of many passages in the Upanishads, the Gita and other scriptures.

In fact, a whole Upanishad (though a very small one), namely, Maandookyopanishad, devotes itself entirely to the explanation of the word Om. This Upanishad for this very reason, has been termed the quintessance of vedanta. Om is spoken of here as the primeval word which stands for the entire universe permeated by Brahman and therefore Brahman itself. The three sounds that go to make up Om constitute symbolically the entire universe of words. For, 'a' is the sound with which the human mouth is opened to speak any word and 'u' is the sound which allows the tongue all positions from the palate to the lips, and 'm' is the vocal movement one makes to close the lips. Every sound which man can produce is between the extremes of 'a' and 'm' and so, together with the intermediate stage of 'u' it represents everything words represent.-

Answer 3

Om is the sound representation of The Supreme Personality of God head also known as Krishna or Vishnu. It is also used before many mantras and verses.Om is the sound vibration played at the time of creation from Krishna's flute to give lord Brahma the wisdom how to co create the cosmic creation. If you would like a direct link on the meaning of Om and the maha mantra and other mantras pleas write me. Thanks.
