OM or AUM is the most important and significant word of Mantra tradition.
It is considered as the root mantra of all mantra.
In a majority of Mantra, you will find OM.
HOW TO DO IT ?
Sit in Artha Sidhaasana with Chin Mudra and say "AAA-UUU-EmEmEm.."- 21 times.
When you say AA you can notice the vibrations in your belly area ,uuu vibrates in your chest area and EmEm.. in your throat area.
OM is the most often chanted sound among all the sacred sounds on earth.
This sound is considered as the sound of the existence.
It is believed that the whole universe, in its fundamental form, is made up of vibrating, pulsating energy.
Om is considered as the humming sound of this cosmic energy.
It is also known as the 'Anahat Nada', the "Unstruck Sound". This means the sound that is not made by two things striking together.
If you observe the nature of sound you'll find that all ordinary audible sound are produced by the striking of two objects : bow and strings, drum and stick, two vocal cords, waves against the shore, winds against the leaves, bat against the ball, tyers against the road etc.
In short all sounds within our range of listening are produces by things visible or invisible, striking each other or vibrating together, resulting in pulsating waves of air molecules which we interprets as sound.
Can you explain how one should sit. What asana of sitting? Is their any video of sadhguru with om chanting?
ReplyDeleteChanting initiations should be taken only from right sources. Chants will make u dull if you do in one way (most of the people do that way) and it takes you to different dimension if you do it with specific awareness. Each chant has its own way of being aware.
ReplyDeleteContact local Isha centre and participate in Isha Yoga program (2-3 days part time) or Inner Engineering program (1 week part time, which also includes Shambhavi Kriya initiation). The gurus are right source to get this knowledge.
If its not the right source, I suggest its better not to do any chanting rather than doing it from improper source.
Hi i hear isha songs as sounding as Aaa uuu mmmm instead of OM sound in OMKARAM. Here, why
ReplyDeleteit is termed in different way.
The correct spelling is "AUM" and not "OM". The Anglicized word "Om" which has crept into our daily language is a phonetic distortion of the sound. The correct phonemes are A, U and M. In humans, these three basic sound syllables are produced without the use of the tongue. You should open your mouth and say A (as in "father"). It becomes UU when you close your mouth gently. Once the mouth is fully closed, it become MMM. Therefore, the sound is AUM and not OM.
DeleteGood info by readers. Thank you for your supporting the blog
ReplyDeleteAUM or AOM? Because when we slowly/half close our mouth after AAAA...it sounds OOO...then Fully closed with sound MMM
ReplyDeleteIt is like
ReplyDeleteAaaaaa ooooooo ummmmm.
