Guest guest Posted September 22, 2008 Report Share Posted September 22, 2008 5. PraNava mantra (AUM) - Simple Explanation The mantra that is held very sacred by all Hindus is the mantra Aum also called praNava mantra. This mantra is part of all worship. This mantra is hailed in scriptures of various languages. Vedas - the Holy Scripture - is chanted always after chanting this mantra and always concluded with this mantra. Each of the hailing in the archana that is performed for the divine is preceded by this mantra Aum. PraNava is the primal sound that existed before the creation and the sound that stays after the praLaya. This is the naatharuupa - the Form of sound, of the Supreme Luminance. This mantra ohm refers to none other than God. The great yogis meditate in this mantra as the path to Eternal Bliss of the Formless Nameless God! The praNava (Aum) has five parts. They are akara, ukara, makara, bindhu, naadam. Consequently this is also one of the glorious panchaakshara mantra. The scriptures that explain the glory of this praNava mantra are quite many. However the significant one is from the skandha puraaNa. It is a well known puraaNic event that skandha described the real meaning of the praNava mantra to God Siva. In the above mentioned episode of skandha puraaNa the sage vaamadeva seeks the boon from Lord Skandha to tell him too that description. Lord Skandha who was pleased with the devotion of sage vaamadeva told him that great secret. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
