David Frawley, in his book Mantra Yoga and Primal Sound, writes, “ Om is the superior mantra for Atman that means it adjusts with our true nature.”
He also denote that OM or AUM is the sound combining of three elements of the Universe:
- First letter A, Creator ( sound which invokes Brahma)
2. Second Letter U, Preserver ( sound denotes Vishnu)
3. Third Letter M, Destroyer ( sound emancipate Shiva)
What is the procedure to recite OM??
To create the sound of A-U-M, it starts with basic strategies:
“Starts with Ahhh — at the back of the throat,
Oooh — moves forward to the mouth,
Mmmmmm — ends on the lips.”
