According to the late and great Paramahansa Ramakrishna, OM is the definitive spiritual sound, name, word, and symbol for God (Divine Spirit) in form and beyond form. So, OM is appropriate as the essence of spiritual concepts like love, compassion, wisdom, intuition, energy, being, presence, and awareness. OM also is appropriate as the essence and true name of avatars like Krishna, Sankara, Buddha, and Christ. So, just by chanting OM and offering the chant to all sentient beings, one “speaks to others in a way that offers them joy, happiness, self-confidence, hope, trust and enlightenment.” May the Sacred Syllable OM uplift all sentient beings today, tomorrow and well into the future. Namaste. /|\
