According
to the ancient Indian philosophical text i.e. BHAGAWAD GITA it is
said that the AUM is the representation of the "Brahma"
which is the origin and the energy source of the whole universe.
In other words AUM represents God.
AUM
is a root of all mantras.
"Mantras" is a typical combination of words which affects
the surrounding and human beings through the vibrations. These mantras
are to be chanted for enormous number of times to get the results.
The results are miraculous. Each and every mantra starts with AUM
and mostly ends with AUM.
Patanjali
had designed and caste the Science Of Yoga about 2400 years ago
(i.e. 400 year BC) in the form of Yoga Sutras, he had explained
AUM in Sanskrit verses (sutras).
In yogic practices the relation is of immediate and practical value.
Patanjali could see that the relation between a form and the name
is closest in AUM and has made use of this quality in his method
of meditation.
AUM
is composed of 3 elements, 'a', 'u' and 'm'. The fusion of these
3 elements is AUM or OM. The 3 alphabets are pronounced in series. |

AUM
can be seen through the eyes, listened to via ears and chanted via tongue.
It is somewhat simpler to concentrate on the above 3 sense organs, so
it is easy to concentrate the mind directly on the object. This is achieved
by fixing AUM as a target for meditation on which 3 sense organs are focused.
In addition to this the chanting of AUM has tranquilizing effect on the
mind, which helps concentrate easily.
