Is Om a Buddha?

Om is now part of the Buddhist faith, but originated in the Hindu faith. Om is described as a representation of the holy trinity of Hindu gods – Brahma, Vishnu, and Shiva, and in the Upanishads (an ancient Hindu text) as the essence of Brahman (the ultimate reality).

Visually, what does the Om symbol mean?

Visually, the Om is made of three curve shapes, a sweeping semi-circle, and a dot. Let's start with the bit that looks a little bit like a fancy number three. The large bottom curve represents the conscious state, or waking state. Your experience of life through the five senses, from aching after your yoga session to listening to your favourite music, is all symbolised in that first curve. The middle curve, or the top part of the three, represents the dream state and unconsciousness. You're feeling very sleepy...

The next shape, the bit that looks like a fancy letter 'o' is the third state - the state of dreaming. Together, these three shapes make the three different states of A-U-M. Clever, huh?

The semi-circle at the top separates the dot from the other three curves. It represents the obstacles we face in reaching the ultimate state of consciousness. There's a bit of debate over the last bit. Many say that the dot represents the fourth state of consciousness, the state of bliss we were talking about. Some say it represents you. Some say it's the sound of Om, some say it’s the silence in the pause between repetitions. But don't get bogged down in the details, take a breath and chant Om. Whichever way you interpret that little dot, the Om symbol illustrates the illusions that cut us off from the perfect place of calm that we all want to reach.

Why do people wear Om symbols?

The difference between om and namaste.

Whilst Om is an expression of the infinite wonder of the world, Namaste is more of a greeting, or thanks, given from one yogi to another. 'Namah', meaning a 'bow' and 'te', meaning 'you.' Therefore, Namaste is a salutation literally meaning 'I bow to you.' In the yoga world, the word is often the way most yoga teachers will close their class, probably after three Oms.

Why is Om important?

Om is important not only because it means so much, but because it helps ground us. The relaxing vibrations of the “mmm” sound help lull us into a meditative state and empty our minds of daily thoughts and distractions, as well as connecting us to the creative energy of the universe.

What is Om Tat Sat?

‘Om Tat Sat’ is a Sanskrit manta, found in the Bhagavad Vita (a Hindu scripture). It is spoken during religious practices. It means ‘Om, it is truth’ or ‘Om, it is reality’. You could repeat the mantra ‘Om Tat Sat’ to begin your own yoga practice, reminding yourself to focus on “the absolute truth” – the self within. A variation of the mantra is also used in India, where yogis often say ‘Hari Om Tat Sat’ as a form of greeting, meaning “Om is Truth, Om is Reality, Om is good.”

Can Om be used in Scrabble?

Yes! Om can be used in Scrabble. But the infinite universe will only earn you 4 points, sadly.

A note from us.

Now that you can muster up the mystical power of the universe with just two little letters, why don’t you try chanting it to yourself on the way Om from work tomorrow?

If eternal bliss is a stretch for you, think of it like this: chanting 'Om' at the beginning and end of class defines it as a time of reflection and peace, a time to recalibrate, to check in with yourself, away from the madness.
