Guest guest Posted October 2, 2003 Report Share Posted October 2, 2003 i have to say something on this topic too. omkaar is the first sound of the universe with its origin from shiva itself. it is not just comprised of three letters-- A,U & M. but it has two other components-- bindu & naad in fact, from these five components of omkaar give rise to five elements-- A-- earth U-- water M-- fire BINDU--air NAADA--ether during practice of yoga(sadhna), a sadhak is able to listen to a no. of sounds(naadas) like the sound of sea waves, the sounds of various types of instruments & many others. but besides these sounds appears the adi naada(the first sound) also called the brahmanaada or shabdabrahman. lord shiva say about this naada-- if a saadhak has listened to brahmanaada & wishes for anything else then he is just hitting punches in the space. listening to this naada is the first experience of the saadhak beyond the regular three stages-- wakened(jaagriti) dreams(swapn) sleep(sushupti) this adinaada arises from shiva(the auspicious) & takes a saadhak there. where a saadhak in real terms experiences oneness(advaita) in nirvikalpa samadhi & achievesnirvaana(mukti). for more details please refer to shiva purana.
