Guest guest Posted May 1, 2003 Report Share Posted May 1, 2003 Dear Bhagavathas, Sriman Balaji said >> no one calls vishnu as om vishnu << During Sandhyavandanam, we do use Om Vishnum tarpayAmi, Om VishnavE namaH, as well as hariH Om. Om is also sacred to Buddhists, Jains and Sikhs. TaittirIya Upanishad says: Om iti brahma, Om itIdagam sarvam. We identify brahma as NarayaNa/VishNu/Krishna. Om is all encompassing (perhaps OMNI may have its origin in Om). Om has four parts, A-U-M and silence. All parts of vocal chord are used in properly utering Om. Thus all spoken and unspoken words are fragments of Om (a sthe lord says in the gItA: girAm asmaikamaxaram). A represents beginning (Spring), U being (Summer), M (Autumn) fading away, and Silence (Winter)- take for example a tree that looks apparently dead (leafless) in Winter. That silence represents immortality. dAsan K. Sreekrishna Tatachar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
