Description
Aum (or OM) is a mantra, or vibration, that is traditionally chanted at the beginning and end of yoga sessions. It is made up of three Sanskrit letters, aa, au and ma which, when combined together, make the sound Aum or Om. It is believed to be the basic sound of the world and to contain all other sounds. It is said to be the sound of the universe. What does that mean?
Somehow the ancient yogis knew what scientists today are telling us–that the entire universe is moving. Nothing is ever solid or still. Everything that exists pulsates, creating a rhythmic vibration that the ancient yogis acknowledged with the sound of Aum. We may not always be aware of this sound in our daily lives, but we can hear it in the rustling of the autumn leaves, the waves on the shore, the inside of a seashell.
Chanting Aum allows us to recognize our experience as a reflection of how the whole universe moves–the setting sun, the rising moon, the ebb and flow of the tides, the beating of our hearts. As we chant Aum, it takes us for a ride on this universal movement, through our breath, our awareness, and our physical energy, and we begin to sense a bigger connection that is both uplifting and soothing.
The Aum symbol design can be seen as a symbolic representation of the various psychological compartments of the psyche; an inner dimensional map of the various compartments of human consciousness and the relationship each has to the divine within.
The long lower curve represents the dreaming state.
The upper curve stands for the waking state.
The curve which emanates from the center represents deep sleep, beyond dreams.
The crescent stands for the veil of material illusion.
The dot is the transcendental self.
The Mantra symbol has been carved from Sacred Shriparni wood.
The size of Mantra carving is 7.0 cms x 6.0 cms
You can stick this using double sided tape or good quality glue on main entry gate , temple, altar , office wall etc
About Shriparni wood :
Shriparni in Gujarati is called Sevan, in Hindi Khumar, in Sanskrit is called Shriparni and in Marathi Shivan. Shriparni is as pure & ancient as Tulsi and Peepal tree. In ancient Puranas it is told that in Shriparni trees there is presence of Laxmiji. Shreeparni is the favourite tree planted by people in their home. After they have planted Shriparni tree & after doing regular prayer of it many families have got a lot of benefits from it. But, if any impure thing touches the tree then Shriparni tree dies. It is also true. It is good to do regular prayer of Shriparni tree. In comparison to all other trees Shriparni tree grows fast. The leaves which are withered are replaced by new leaves very quickly. In Ayurveda it is believed that this Shriparni tree has the capacity to absorb pollution. It also generates positive energy.
