Also wanted to tell that A-U-M is the primary sound. When we utter A we open mouth, U we keep mouth open and M sound again makes you close your mouth .

[@VishuddhaDas]

Absolutely

[@lysergicacidd]

A-our first breath U-middle breath M-our last breath is that correct?

[@andrejmilojeski7160]

I always wanted to know the meaning of this symbol, and yet I always thought I would have to do a lot of reading or watching many videos to fully understand what it means and connect the pieces of the puzzle myself. You explained it so simply and it's struck me how profound with meaning it is. Maybe the best video I've watched in years. Thank you.

Last summer I bought salwar pants without realizing they got the om symbol on them. I knew it was tied to the universe but now I know the deeper meaning behind it, so thank you very much, this has deepened the connection and it was very revealing. 🙏

Well done, OM is the Universal Sound.. Aum is actually mimicking the Sound of the Sun.. but you seem to have this symbol down to a science, impressive.

[@SoundOfFallingLeaves]

There is a question I have in my mind. In my experience, this veil is always on and off. When I have a moment of meditation it comes off, but when I am ingrained in my daily tasks I am more like dreaming. So the question is, is this the game of on and off the same experience of a master? Or for them is always off?

Always be a seeker and not a believer because the universe and universes and the space are mysteriously unsolved. So follow our ancient Indian rishis advice - keep seeking always.

Blessings from a brand new hindu in Indianapolis Indiana. I got a question. What does the hindu religion Say on transgender topics?

[@VishuddhaDas]

There is no specification as all are accepted 🕉️🙏

Nothing has been said about it. In Hinduism there is no concept of sin, but rather karma.

[@charlottemarx8845]

Why have you deleted so many videos?

[@VishuddhaDas]

My views have changed 🙏

[@robertcuthill8484]

@@VishuddhaDas Om is one topic that won't be deleted as it is Truth with a capital "T". As you well know OM can be directly experienced through the practice of meditation. Becoming one with OM is becoming one with the very fabric of reality regardless of whether it is in a manifest state or yet remains in its pristine state of pure potential.
