Glayvin Posted February 22, 2008 Report Share Posted February 22, 2008 Hello, everyone. Does anyone know the origins of the AUM ligature? Why ॐ as opposed to ओ (with an anusvara)? How old is this symbol? Thanks and namaste! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glayvin Posted February 23, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2008 Hello, again. After some googling, I'm also curious about the chandrabindu or moon-dot- ँ which seems to be used above the auM ligature instead of an anusvara. What's the difference between a chandrabindu and an anusvara? I know that they sound the same and that the chandrabindu is used for bijas in mantra, but that's it.
