Om
The primordial sound of the universe
Om (also written Aum) is the most sacred syllable in Hinduism, Buddhism, and Jainism. It is considered the sound of the universe itself, the vibration from which all existence arises and into which it returns.
Shop Om PendantsWhat it Means
The three curves of the Om symbol represent the three states of consciousness: waking, dreaming, and deep sleep. The dot above represents the fourth state, pure consciousness, or turiya. The curve beneath the dot is the veil of maya, the illusion that separates ordinary awareness from enlightenment.
History & Origins
Om appears in the oldest Vedic texts, the Upanishads, dating back over 3,000 years. It opens and closes prayers, mantras, and meditations across the Hindu and Buddhist traditions. The sound itself is considered a direct expression of Brahman, the ultimate reality.
