To Jayadeva on Swami Satchidananda's Commentary

[Guest guest]

Commentary by Swami Satchidananda:OM TAT SAT: OM, that is the Truth.

TAT means that. SAT means truth: OM that's the Truth. The first

manifestation of the absolute truth takes form as the unspoken sound,

OM. That's why OM is sometimes called pranava, the one that hums. The

true OM in the hum: "mmm." when people repeat their mantras they

should stress the mmmm, the humming part of the mantram. That hum is

the very first sound, or first word, which is God.

Dear Jayadeva ~ thank you so much for sharing this with us. I found

this to be very clear and inspiring. I especially liked the part

about the "ohm meter." What is this from? Is it a book on the

Bhagavad Gita by Swami Satchidananda? I really liked the way he wove

East and West into it and used everyday examples. Shanti ~ Linda

Dear Linda,

This is taken from the book of Swami Satchidananda's commentaries on

the Bhagavad Gita called "The Living Gita."

Glad you found it enjoyable. Me, too.

much love,

jayadeva
