OM是什么意思？
您是否曾经尝试过体育锻炼或忙碌了一天后在睡眠时间感到呼吸舒畅？基本上，这是我们日常生活中真正与内心自我沟通的几次。
尝试感觉到呼吸时身体触发的感觉，并且您会意识到，在呼吸的核心处，持续不断地发出声音，即 OM.
根据印度教，梵天（宇宙的创造者）是宇宙开始之前唯一的实体。梵天的思想 “变得很多” 形成了一种稳定下来的振动 'OM'。这整个过程带来了“最终现实”或“生命”或“宇宙”的存在。
内容概要
什么是OM？OM是梵语音节 ॐ拥有构成遍及整个宇宙的声音的巨大空间。从咒语的角度来看，OM是一个 比雅 或种子咒语。
作为种子的口头禅，OM通常用于激活冠状脉轮以及开始时（字首） 萨古纳 咒语（具有含义，形式和表现形式的声音）。通过这个事实， 萨古纳 口头禅，OM也被认为是 尼尔古纳 （无法显示，即超过3个古纳斯）。
saguna咒语的一些例子 源于OM 是：
简而言之： “ OM”是您持续呼吸的气息，无论您看到或能够感知到的意识和深度。整个宇宙最初的振动源是“ OM”。
OM的意义和解释从字面上看，因为OM是 尼尔古纳 （无属性）它没有一定的含义。但是出于解释的目的，可以用不同的方式来详细说明OM。
音节“ OM”源自梵语 '奥姆卡拉 （ओंकार）'。也叫 '普拉纳瓦' 在梵文中，这意味着 “向神的弓向折手致敬”。它代表了宇宙的最终现实。
在印度教中，om的意思是：
但是，“ OM”在奥义书（精神教义和印度教思想的古代梵文文本）中首次被提及。
'瓦尤·普拉纳（Vayu Purana）”将OM与印度教的三位一体进行了比较，后者代表了三位神的结合。
曼杜卡奥义书 从宇宙的发起者的角度讲了关于音节的OM。在宇宙开始之前，布拉玛（绝对现实）是唯一的实体。他们的想法很多，就产生了第一个振动，然后进一步变成声音。因此，该声音被称为音节OM。
OM的Upanishad观点在 曼杜卡 贤哲的奥义书说，OM是一种工具，可以带您进入自我的终极现实。根据这些文献，一个人 3维 知觉：
OM的声音还以隐藏的形式包含了我们生存的这四个维度。
这就是为什么将OM的声音视为Atman（灵魂之内）或Brahman（最终现实）或上帝之声的原因。为此， 帕坦加利 在瑜伽经中介绍OM为：
他的话是O.

OM符号的4个部分
OM的符号在其结构中拥有宇宙的知识。您会惊讶地发现，人生的最终目标隐藏在OM的象征中。
在对OM进行结构分析时，它分为四个部分：
3.曲线和圆点之间的半圆半圆形表示极乐状态与其余三个状态之间的障碍。它阻止我们达到最高的幸福感。但是，半圆和点之间的间隙表示最高状态（点）不受 玛雅人 (半圆).
因此，以这种方式，OM揭开了关于生命和宇宙目的的隐藏谜团。
OM中的元素声音“ OM”是宇宙的母体振动，它是指阿特曼（我们自己，灵魂）和婆罗门（至高无上的真理，发起者，最终的现实，神圣的方面）。 OM发出的声音包括三个部分。都有其特定的意义和意义。
1.啊当我们开始说“ OM”时，“ Ah”就是声音。这代表了以宇宙的“创造”而闻名的第一任梵天。它与苏醒状态有关，并将我们的总体意识与身体下部相连。
2.哦“哦”是中间声音，从业者可以深入到自我的深处。这代表了第二位主毗湿奴，他负责宇宙的“保存”。它与梦境有关，将我们的潜意识与身体的中部联系起来。
3.嗯“ Mm”是释放的声音。它逐渐消失，带动从业者至上。这代表了湿婆神的第三位，他被称为宇宙的“毁灭者”。它与深度睡眠状态有关，并将我们的休闲意识与身体的上部相连。
我们为什么要歌颂OM？基本上，舌头用于产生所有其他声音或人声。当我们吟诵OM时，通过嘴很清楚地发出三种声音（Aa，Ooh和Mm），而不会移动舌头。因此，OM是存在的基本或基本声音。
人体内部器官对3个音节OM声音产生的振动非常敏感。
OM是创造的源泉，并且通过歌颂它，我们对这一源泉表示感谢。根据现代科学，整个存在就是混响。哪里有振动，哪里就有声音，哪里有声音，哪里就有创造力。
例如，电视具有三种彩色网，可以从中产生数百万种色彩。同样，OM的这三种基本声音会在特定的组合上产生多种表达。
声音“ Aa”不仅是印度的基本声音，而且是全世界的基本声音。它的爆发是从能量体的根部或海军下方开始的，那里有72,000 纳迪斯 （微妙的能源渠道）相遇。这是瑜伽的维护中心或称为Manipura脉轮。当你说“ Aa”时 纳迪斯 回荡整个身体的振动。如果您说出Ooh和Mm，声音会以不同的方式传播，因为每种声音都会影响身体的某些部位。
每种声音都会激活您的能量系统的某个维度。因此，这三种声音组合起来激活了整个身体系统。声音不仅会产生情感，而且会改变您的整个身体系统。因此，歌颂OM是可以使您的人生发生的科学。这是关于让生活以最高的强度和美丽来实现。

OM诵经常见问题
Have you ever try to feel the settlement of your breath after a physical workout or at sleep time after a busy day? Basically, these are a few times in our daily life when we really communicate with our inner selves.
Try to feel the sensation triggered up in your body while breathing & you will realize, at the core of your breath a sound is continuously going on, that is OM.
According to Hinduism, Brahma (creator of the universe) was the only entity before this universe began. Brahma’s thought ‘to become many’ has formed the vibration that settled down in a sound called ‘OM’. This whole process brought ‘the ultimate reality’ or ‘life’ or ‘the universe’ into existence.
What Is OM?OM is a Sanskrit syllable ॐ, holds the vastness of comprising a sound that pervades the whole universe. In the mantras perspective, OM is a bija or seed mantra.
As a seed mantra, OM is usually used in the activation of the crown chakra and at the beginning (prefix) on the Saguna mantra (sound with meaning, form & a manifestation). By this fact of giving birth to a Saguna mantra, OM is also considered a Nirguna (unmanifest i.e. beyond 3 gunas).
Some example of saguna mantras which stems from OM are:
In nutshell: ‘OM’ is the prana that you keep on breathing, whatever you see or able to perceive, your consciousness and its depth. The source of the very first vibration of the entire universe is ‘OM’.
OM Meaning & InterpretationsLiterally, as OM is nirguna (attributeless) it can’t have a certain meaning. But for the purpose of interpretations, OM can be elaborated in different ways.
Syllable ‘OM’ is derived from the Sanskrit word ‘Omkara (ओंकार)‘. It is also called ‘Pranava‘ in Sanskrit, which means ‘Bow to the divine to the folded hands’. It’s the representation of the ultimate reality of the universe.
In Hinduism, om means:
However, ‘OM’ has been first mentioned in the Upanishads (ancient Sanskrit texts of spiritual teaching and ideas of Hinduism).
‘Vayu Purana‘ has compared OM to the trinity of Hinduism, which represents the union of the three gods.
Manduka Upanishads stated about the syllable OM, in the sense of initiator of the universe. Before the beginning of the universe, Brahmaa (absolute reality) was the single entity. Their thought to become many has given birth to the very first vibration, which further turns into the sound. Therefore, This sound came to be known as the syllable OM.
Upanishad Perspective of OMIn mandukya Upanishad, sages have said OM is a tool that can lead you to the ultimate reality of the self. According to this literature, a person has 3 dimensions of perception:
The sound of OM also comprises these 4 dimensions of our existence in a hidden form.
This is the reason why the sound of OM is considered Atman (soul within) or Brahman (ultimate reality) or the sound of God. In favor of this, Patanjali introduced OM in yoga sutras as:
His word is Om.

4 Parts of the OM Symbol
Symbol of OM holds the knowledge of the universe in its structure. You will be surprised to know that the ultimate goal of one’s life is hidden in the symbol of OM.
When OM analyzed structurally, it has 4 parts:
3. A Semicircle Between Curves & DotThe semicircle signifies the barrier between the state of ultimate bliss and the rest three states. It prevents us from reaching the highest form of bliss. However, the gap between the semicircle and the dot represents that the highest state (dot) is unaffected by the Maya (semicircle).
So, in this way OM untwists the hidden mystery of the purpose of life and the universe.
Elemental Sound in OM‘OM’ is the mother vibration of the universe, which refers to the Atman (ourself, soul) and Brahman (supreme truth, the initiator, the ultimate reality, divine aspect). The sound of OM on pronouncing has three parts. All have their specific meaning and significance.
1. Ah‘Ah’ is the sound that comes when we begin the utterance of ‘OM’. This represents the first lord Brahama, who is known for the ‘creation’ of the universe. It’s concerned with the waking state and connects our gross conscious to the lower part of the body.
2. Ooh‘Ooh’ is the middle sound, in which the practitioner dive into the deepness of self. This represents the second lord Vishnu, who is responsible for the ‘preservation’ of the universe. It is concerned with the dreaming state and connects our subtle consciousness to the middle part of the body.
3. Mm‘Mm’ is the releasing sound. It’s fade away and takes the practitioner toward the supreme. This represents the third lord Shiva, who is known as the ‘destroyer’ of the universe. It is concerned with the deep sleep state and connects our casual consciousness to the upper part of the body.
Why Do We Chant OM?Basically, the tongue is being used to produce all other sounds or vocals. When we chant OM, three sounds (Aa, Ooh & Mm) are produced very clearly through the mouth without moving tongue. So, OM is the basic or the fundamental sounds in existence.
Human internal organs are very sensitive to the vibration produced by 3 sounds of syllable OM.
OM is the source of creation & by chanting it, we show our gratitude to that source power. According to modern science, the whole existence is reverberation. Wherever is a vibration, there is a sound and wherever is sound, there is creation.
For example, television has three color webs from which it produces millions of colors. Similarly, these three basic sounds of OM produces a variety of expression on a specific combination.
Sound ‘Aa’ is the basic sound not only in India but all across the world. Uttering of it starts from the roots of the energy body or beneath the naval, where 72,000 nadis (subtle energy channels) meet. This is the maintenance center or called the Manipura chakra in yoga. As you utter ‘Aa’ the Nadis reverberates the vibrations across the whole body. If you utter Ooh and Mm, it spreads in a different way, for every sound some part of the body gets affected.
Every sound activates a certain dimension of your energy system. So, these three sounds as a combination activate the whole system of the body. Sound not only creates emotion but it changes the whole system of your body. Therefore, chanting OM is the science that could make life happen to you. This is about making life happen in the highest terms of intensity and beauty.
Benefits of Chanting OM
OM is the sound whose vibrations have a grasp on the entire universe. Chanting OM in mediation has innumerable benefits in the sense of physical, psychological and emotional levels. Regular uttering of this sacred syllable could be of paramount way to change one’s life forever.

Vibrations produced while chanting OM activates certain centers and nerves (vagus), which are the most common treatment of stress. However, it also regulates the unspecific activity of the endocrine system responsible for the production of chemicals that causes stress & anxiety.
3. Strengthens Spinal CordIt has been found that chanting OM while sitting (straight back) in meditation, impacts the spinal cord. ‘Aa’ sound of OM originates from the naval root, which is in the vicinity of the spinal cord. Vibrations Reveraberate throughout the spinal cord to vitalize the nerves. This further improves the function and strengthens the spinal cord.
4. Improves Digestive systemThe digestive process is concerned with the vagus nerve 3 originates from the medulla of the brainstem.
OM chanting has a significant effect on the digestion. The vibration produced on the utterance causes a stimulation of the vagus nerve (controls the digestion related activities). Further, which regulates the digestive process of an individual.
5. Maintain the Rhythmic Activity of the HeartChanting OM has a calming effect on the heart. It maintains the natural rhythm of the cardiac cycle. As we start to chant OM, the ‘Ooh’ sound reaches the to the upper body from its originating position navel. This spreads through the entire thoracic region of the practitioner and preserves the heart’s natural rhythm.
6. Chanting OM Reduce Fatigue by Increasing Oxygen Level in BloodA 14-year-old Indian girl 4 found in a study that chanting sacred syllable OM can reduce fatigue.
She got the inspiration for this research when she visited a holistic state Uttarakhand, & saw priests carrying water from Bageshwar to Kedarnath, covering 68 km every day, without tiring. The priests sang a tune of OM, all along.

Some example of saguna mantras which stems from OM are:
- om shanti shanti shanti om
- om namah shivay
- om gan ganpataye namah
In nutshell: ‘OM’ is the prana that you keep on breathing, whatever you see or able to perceive, your consciousness and its depth. The source of the very first vibration of the entire universe is ‘OM’.
OM Meaning & InterpretationsLiterally, as OM is nirguna (attributeless) it can’t have a certain meaning. But for the purpose of interpretations, OM can be elaborated in different ways.
Syllable ‘OM’ is derived from the Sanskrit word ‘Omkara (ओंकार)‘. It is also called ‘Pranava‘ in Sanskrit, which means ‘Bow to the divine to the folded hands’. It’s the representation of the ultimate reality of the universe.
In Hinduism, om means:
- Atman ( soul, oneself)
- Brahman (truth, divine, supreme, etc)
- Union of 3 gods or 3 gunas
- 5 supreme beings (Pañca-Parameṣṭhi 1) – Arihant, Ashiri, Acharya, Upajjhaya, Muni (A,A,A,U,M – AUM).
- Ik Onkar – one god, sometimes also referred to “creator of Om”
However, ‘OM’ has been first mentioned in the Upanishads (ancient Sanskrit texts of spiritual teaching and ideas of Hinduism).
‘Vayu Purana‘ has compared OM to the trinity of Hinduism, which represents the union of the three gods.
- A for the Brahma – The creator
- U for the Vishnu – The preserver
- and M for shiva – The destroyer.
Manduka Upanishads stated about the syllable OM, in the sense of initiator of the universe. Before the beginning of the universe, Brahmaa (absolute reality) was the single entity. Their thought to become many has given birth to the very first vibration, which further turns into the sound. Therefore, This sound came to be known as the syllable OM.
Upanishad Perspective of OMIn mandukya Upanishad, sages have said OM is a tool that can lead you to the ultimate reality of the self. According to this literature, a person has 3 dimensions of perception:
- Waking & waker’s world – Physical world that we perceive through 5 senses
- Dreaming & dreamer’s world – Inner thoughts or that we perceive in a dreaming state through virtual senses
- Deep sleep & darkness – Seeking the causes or the experience of nothingness that we perceive in deep sleep
The sound of OM also comprises these 4 dimensions of our existence in a hidden form.
- The sound of “Ahhh” (A) – Represents the waking state of our existence
- Sound of “Ouuu” (U) – Represents the dreaming state of our existence
- & The sound of “Mmmm” (M) – Represents the deep sleep state of our existence
This is the reason why the sound of OM is considered Atman (soul within) or Brahman (ultimate reality) or the sound of God. In favor of this, Patanjali introduced OM in yoga sutras as:

4 Parts of the OM Symbol
Symbol of OM holds the knowledge of the universe in its structure. You will be surprised to know that the ultimate goal of one’s life is hidden in the symbol of OM.
When OM analyzed structurally, it has 4 parts:
- 3 curve structures
- 1 crescent structure
- 1 dot.
- First or the lower curve represents the waking state or ‘jagrati‘. This state broadened the consciousness to come out through the senses. The larger size of the curve signifies the majority or the common state among the human’s consciousness.
- Second or the middle curve represents the dreaming state or ‘swapna‘ (the state between the deep sleep and waking state). This state brings the consciousness of the practitioner inwards. By closing the eye, practitioner dive within to know the self from more closely.
- Third or the upper curve represents the deep sleep or unconscious state or ‘sushupti‘. In this state, the practitioner does not desire or dream anything.
3. A Semicircle Between Curves & DotThe semicircle signifies the barrier between the state of ultimate bliss and the rest three states. It prevents us from reaching the highest form of bliss. However, the gap between the semicircle and the dot represents that the highest state (dot) is unaffected by the Maya (semicircle).
So, in this way OM untwists the hidden mystery of the purpose of life and the universe.

Why Do We Chant OM?Basically, the tongue is being used to produce all other sounds or vocals. When we chant OM, three sounds (Aa, Ooh & Mm) are produced very clearly through the mouth without moving tongue. So, OM is the basic or the fundamental sounds in existence.
Human internal organs are very sensitive to the vibration produced by 3 sounds of syllable OM.
OM is the source of creation & by chanting it, we show our gratitude to that source power. According to modern science, the whole existence is reverberation. Wherever is a vibration, there is a sound and wherever is sound, there is creation.
For example, television has three color webs from which it produces millions of colors. Similarly, these three basic sounds of OM produces a variety of expression on a specific combination.
Sound ‘Aa’ is the basic sound not only in India but all across the world. Uttering of it starts from the roots of the energy body or beneath the naval, where 72,000 nadis (subtle energy channels) meet. This is the maintenance center or called the Manipura chakra in yoga. As you utter ‘Aa’ the Nadis reverberates the vibrations across the whole body. If you utter Ooh and Mm, it spreads in a different way, for every sound some part of the body gets affected.
Every sound activates a certain dimension of your energy system. So, these three sounds as a combination activate the whole system of the body. Sound not only creates emotion but it changes the whole system of your body. Therefore, chanting OM is the science that could make life happen to you. This is about making life happen in the highest terms of intensity and beauty.
