You may have heard about the famous saying "I might be showing her my O-face", but are you familiar with the meditation-practitioner's "Ohm Face"?
PHILOSOPHY OF AUM/OHM
Dvaita ( Vaishnava ) philosophies teach that 'Aum'(Ohm) is an impersonal sound representation of Vishnu/Krishna while Hari Nama is the personal sound representation. A represents Krishna , U Srimati Radharani and M jivas . According to Sridhara Svami the pranava has five parts: A, U, M, the nasal bindu and the reverberation (nada). Liberated souls meditate on the Lord at the end of that reverberation. For both Hindus and Buddhists this syllable is sacred and so laden with spiritual energy that it may only be pronounced with complete concentration.
Examples of Three into One:
- Creation ( Brahma )- Preservation ( Vishnu )- Destruction ( Shiva ) into Brahman
- Waking- Dreaming- Dreamless Sleep into Turiya (transcendental fourth state of consciousness)
- Rajas (activity, heat, fire)- Tamas (dullness, ignorance, darkness)- Sattva (purity, light, serenity/ shanti ) into Brahman
- Body, Speech and Mind into Oneness
