gokulkr 1 Report post Posted February 19, 2005 Omshanti May OM: One God Universal Blesses Bliss to All Om is Brahman Mediate upon Him See Him in everyone He prevades all Atman is Paramatman Name-form is illusion That art thou I am the Brahman These 8 sermons constitute the total sense and essence of all the Upanishads, the epitomes of all the Vedas and Vedanta. They begin at the base and rise up to the very summit. "Om Shanti" may be used for all kinds of greetings on all occasions to one and all. "OM" means 'yes', 'so be it', 'agreed', etc. It makes an auspicious beginning. It is a very good holy substitute for OK, which is a corrupt abbreviation of Oll Korrect, a distortion of All Correct. Let us use the correct form; let us not use a corrupt form. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
