Some Mystery of AUM(OM)

Written around 800 BCE

, one of the largest & Oldest, Chandogya Upanishad in its first few verses clearly explains the “AUM” as follows:


Om is the Brahma Itself.
If u recite AUM = Worshipping of Brahma. Reciting of OM is called as “UdGeetha”, is the worship of Shrushti (Creation) (1.1.1)

All (Living & Non-Living) come out of Earth (Bhumi) = Srushti = Brahma

All (Living & Non-Living) are sustained by Earth = Sthithi = Vishnu

All (Living & Non-Living) dissolve into Earth = Laya = Mahesha

Water is the essence of Earth (1), Plants are the essence of Water(2), Human Beings are the essence of Plants(3), Speech is the essence of Human Beings(4), RigVeda is the essence of Speech (5), Samaveda is essence of RigVeda (6), UdGeetha (AUM) is the essence of Samaveda(7). UdGeetha (8) is given the 8th position, the Highest Status. (1.1.2 & 1.1.3)

Just Imagine 2800 years ago, how beautifully they have described the “Essence of life on Earth” and explained the science in a simple manner.
