This is the way it was explained to me:

 

We chant "ONG" in KY, rather than "OM". OM means the Infinite, and

is an excellent mantra for monks, people living a secluded existence,

people getting close to death - that is, people who are ready to let

go of the material world.

 

ONG means the Infinite within the finite, and is more suitable for

those who still live in the world, who still need to create and

manifest. Since KY is a yoga for householders, people very much in

and of the world, we only chant ONG.

 

Many blessings,

Sadhant

Om (also aum) is a transcendental sound vibration. As I learned it, if one

looks at the sanskrit figure, the top part of the three-like part signifies

the waking state, the bottom part is the dream state, the line that comes

out from the middle is deep sleep, the cresent shape is maya (illusion) and

the point is a bindi- a point which encompasses all. That may be

speculation, but it is interesting anyway. I feel that it has a calming

expansive effect. I don't think there is anything wrong with chanting it if

one feels drawn to doing so, regardless of their occupation. As far as how

and when that is up to you. Usually there are three parts, the "a" (which

is the three-like form), the "u" which is the line that comes out from the

middle, and the "m" which is the rest. It is sanskrit and "ong" is gurmukhi

as far as I know. Aum is often used in the beginning of a mantra and seems

similar to ong in that way.

 

Enjoy,
