Guest guest Posted January 22, 2008 Report Share Posted January 22, 2008 Thus Spake The Lord Om is the origin of creation; it is the source, the sustenance and the strength. It is the praana (life-force) of every being. Just as air forced through the reeds of a harmonium produces the seven musical notes, Sa-ri-ga-ma-pa-da-ni, so the Om is at the root of all sounds in all the worlds. Know its significance and practice its recitation. The Pranava japa (the recitation of the Om and the contemplation of the mystic syllable) will help to calm the roaring waves. Om is the sum of all the teachings in the Vedas about Godhead and of all the teachings of adoring the Godhead. Om ithi ekaaksharam Brahma---"Om, that one syllable is Brahman!"
