The Mantra OM

The mantra OM (AUM) has been handed down to us by the Himalayan sages. It is the most important mantra of Yoga. According to tradition, every "thing" manifest comes from primordial vibration, which is symbolized by OM: All material objects, all living beings, including each of us, all Spiritual teachings, all languages, all scriptures, everything. Everything has come out of primordial vibration which is represented by OM.

This concurs with modern scientific thinking which says that everything - every atom and molecule in every nook and corner of this universe - is formed out of energy vibration. Einstein formulated his famous equation that E = Mc2 - which indicates that matter (M) is but an expression of energy (E).

OM symbolizes the fact that all material objects, all phenomena and all thought patterns, both on a microscopic and macroscopic level, are states of energy vibration.
