Om represents the eternal oneness of all that is, and thus represents the ultimate goal of yoga: to become unified in body, mind and spirit.Ĭhanting the mantra Om is perhaps the oldest of yoga’s spiritual practices. Om represents all time: past, present, and future and is beyond time itself. Not only does Om represent the entire universe, known as Brahman, it is also said to be the source of all creation.
Om (also written Aum) is the oldest and most sacred sound found in yoga, Hinduism and Buddhism.
