Aum

Aum, also known as Om, is a sacred sound and symbol in Hinduism, Buddhism, and Jainism. It represents the universal consciousness or the fundamental essence of reality. The sound is believed to encompass all existence—past, present, and future—and is often chanted during meditation or spiritual practices to connect with this deeper universal energy. Essentially, Aum signifies the unity of everything in the universe, serving as a reminder of our interconnectedness and the infinite nature of existence. It is both a spiritual symbol and a tool for grounding one’s practice and awareness.
