OM or AUM is the imperishable, primordial sound which has always been in our past. It is in our present and will be there in our future. The three elements of AUM refer to the different states of consciousnesses which are waking, dreaming, and dreamless. The silence followed by OM chanting (also called Akasha) can take us into the fourth superconscious state.Chanting OM is like speaking a universal language. It is believed that the entire cosmos was built with the OM (sound). When we chant OM we merge with the supreme self, like rivers flowing toward the ocean.Experiments by Hans Jenny, a Swiss scientist, proved that when OM is chanted, Sri Yantra (a geometrical representation) is formed in our surroundings. This represents the sacred sounds of the universe and helps us to connect to universal consciousness.A few more benefits of chanting OM:-It balances the three energies in us, creation~preservation~
