OMKAR (OM pranavam) mantra

AUM

Introduction:

The omkar is the sound of the Universe, and is believed to exist from the beginning till the ultimate end of the Universe. It is the cause of the cosmos of the universe. If one sits down to meditate with inner peace , calmly then he can observe this Omkar.

Omkar as explained by Lord Shiv

Lord Shiva when asked about the AUM, tells that the A.U.M is nothing but,
  • Akaar
  • Ukaar
  • Makaar
  • Bindu
  • Naad
These are the root sounds , which are free from the duplication and they originate from the mother Nature , hence are called Pranav.
The Lord tells that,
  • A - Akaar - refers Lord Brahma - The creator
  • U - Ukaar - refers Lord Narayan - The nurturer
  • M - Makaar - refers Lord Shiva - The destroyer of evil
The Pranav Mantra is considered to be the most powerful and helps man to attain salvation, and obtain the blessings of the Lord himself.

The Holy Incident I saw with my very own eyes My Pilgrimage to Holy Kanchipuram After reaching Kanchipuram to visit some temples. We hired an AutoRikshaw to Ukkal, Cheyyur District. It is around 18 KM from where we stayed at KanchiPuram. So when we reached there we asked everyone about this Ukkal Kamakshi Amman Temple, A holy Deity with a Nose ring. But nobody in the village guided us properly , But finally we ended up at a Very Big temple which was closed. It was the Vaidhya Natha swamy temple. So when we stood there, the temple Granny who was incharge of it , came there and opened the temple for us. It was such a blissful experience. Inside the GarbhaGruha stood a tall Shiva linga( Vaidya Nathar) . It was so peaceful there. After that, when we asked her about the Ukkal Kamakshi amman temple, she didnt know about it properly. But a small boy there said us there was a temple there at a distance which had a similar description, so we thanked them and Nandi ji and left from there...
