Guest guest Posted January 21, 2008 Report Share Posted January 21, 2008 Thus Spake The Lord It is not possible for anyone to fully cognize or even describe the integral form of the sacred Om. It is an integral word that stands for the Divine. It is: The audible form of Brahman (Shabdabrahmayee) Pervading the universe of animate and inanimate beings (Charaacharamayee) Resplendent, divine light (Jyothirmayee) Speech (Vaangmayee) Eternal Delight (Nithyaanandamayee) Transcendental (Paraathparamayee) Mother of maya itself - the creative consciousness of Brahman (Maayaamayee) Auspiciousness (Shrimayee) Om has the forgoing eight divine treasures. It is divinely precious and should be recognized as the Name of God. Om is a name of God which can find universal acceptance. The Christians say "Amen" in their prayers everyday. It is only a different form of "Aum." If you close the ear, you can hear Om announcing the Lord's Presence in every sound. All the five elements produce this sound, Om. The bell in the temple is intended to convey the Om as the symbol of the Omnipresent God. When the bell sounds Om, the Godhead within you will awaken and you will be aware of His Presence. That is the meaning of the bell which is rung in front of the inner shrine of the temple. Reference: Summer Showers in Brindavan, 1979, P. 124-125.
