Guest guest Posted February 1, 2003 Report Share Posted February 1, 2003 Home Prev | Next - 51 - What Is The Meaning Of Aum?... What is the meaning of AUM? 307 AUM is a Sanskrit word, a syllable. A Sanskrit word or a syllable has a special significance and a creative power. AUM is the Mother of all sounds. When we chant AUM, what actually happens is that we bring down Peace and Light from above and create a universal harmony within us and without us. When we repeat AUM, both our inner and our outer being become inspired and surcharged with a divine feeling and aspiration. AUM has no equal. AUM has infinite power. Just by repeating AUM, we can realise God. 308 When you chant AUM, try to feel that it is God who is climbing up and down within you. Hundreds of seekers in India have realised God simply by repeating AUM. AUM is the symbol of God, the Creator. 309 When you repeat AUM, please try to observe what actually happens. If you repeat the name of a cat, a dog or a monkey, or even of an ordinary person, you get no inspiration. But when you utter AUM, which is the symbol of the Creator, the life-breath of the Creator, you immediately get an inner feeling, a feeling that inspires your inner and outer movements to enlarge your vision and fulfil your life here on earth. This is the secret of AUM. If you want to cherish a secret all your life, then here is the secret. Soulfully chant AUM and everything is yours. 310 Sri Chinmoy Home Prev | Next Excerpt from Yoga And The Spiritual Life by Sri Chinmoy.

I have not been on for a long time so i have been reading most of the night. However I still havent made clear the meaning of the Yantra, i know AUM stands for something like 'Live this moment and this moment only', but i am interested in what the Yantra stands for. Please correct me also if my interpretation of AUM is incorrect.Peace and well being for you all- JamieTo from this group, send an email to:-http://www.geocities.com/aumganesh/ Your use of is subject to the Mail Plus - Powerful.
