Why is "Om" not a mantra?

[@Anita-f8o8m]

Thanks for sharing Dada🙏

[@JOBCRAWLER]

I love you dada. Thank you .

[@JCImageInc.]

When I first began to meditate, and still today, I focus on hearing. I have also found the mantra to be very powerful in providing stillness. This is a very reassuring message for me Dada, thank you. Namaskar

[@thepawandev4261]

Very truth and meaningfully knowledge

[@ShubhamSingh-vu1rc]

Your knowledge is path to wisdom

[@vedremo9240]

Thank you Dada

[@infinitenothingness]

I find that the silence and stillness *between* the mantras are more significant than the mantra itself. 🙏 🕉 Nama Shivaya 🕉

Thank you

I normally focus on Divine consciousness in the heart during meditation. Is it suggested to use om while in the heart?

@@seane.9937 the education we learn in school need to be used when we work also if it is right education..

[@akalavlogs8818]

For me Om is mantra and powerfull too

[@Mayapu]

OM is very powerful mantra as it’s because of panchabhoot .. self expression of a person wrt universe.. If not why did AdiShankaracharya would ve asked his followers to chant it everyday ? OM is sound too it can be heard when we are silent in silence atmosphere!! It smells like earthy sandal wood / jasmine followers pls try sir..

[@r_shift8937]

Om is a vrtti of the visudha cakra, is the sound of creation, that is why it’s located in the subtlest cakra, and as Dada said sound is the subtlest expression, and ear the subtlest organ, so om is an effect of a cause. With mantra we meditate on the cause, that’s why a sound is no mantra, no matter how subtle it might be. Om is the root sound of the creation, it’s first expression, that why you cam hear it. To meditate we have universal mantra, and personal mantras.

@@r_shift8937 well It’s subjective that who has to have what mantra.. When we say “Aham Brahmasmi”fundamentally it means I am Brahman" or "I am the infinite reality". Why not all have one mantra ..AdiShankaracharya Ji believes in that yet he writes Stuti of many devta to enlighten themselves.. Guru Ramakrishna Paramahans tries all path and say with any devta / religious path we reach Brahman.. Swami Vivekananda (who is considered as God by Ramakrishna guru)quotes instead of all mantra “Hamsah” was enough but he follows his guru mantra “om namo bhagawate Ramakrishnaya”.. when it comes application / requirements of mantra is to focus on mind.. to do that one need to listen no need to hear the sound.. for example if we chant om aim green Shree .. continuously we reach a point nothing is heard or we surrender to silence..

[@Mayapu]

Sometimes I like what neem ka roli baba says to chant Rama and help people be with people just like Hanuman / sant Kabir das..why I think so because we take birth to achieve our purpose after so much of waiting.. being born as human itself a great bliss .. why one need to say what to do.. If someone ask me who is great father or mother I will say both.. the same implies about OM too

[@purple1970-mv9sz]

You don't know anything science of mantra & sadhna bro.. Not even what aadishankaracharya actually did.. Leave the current followers.. They are exactly opposite of what adi shankarachaarya was

[@purple1970-mv9sz]

​@@Mayapunot everything works as you believe.. Bringing good change into crude mind is a real deal...

[@sangramkalita-qq6iv]

In judaism it is believed that smell is the subtlest vibration of the physical world. So far, the mantra: Baba nam kevalam doesn't work for me, I feel very comfortable with OM.

"You need to train your ability to hear, your ability to listen". So, people who are old and have lost most of their hearing they are out of luck eh? Naah... Mantra meditation is not about that at all. It is a bout entering into resonance with the specific energy which that specific mantra you work on evokes or actualizesin your being. When entering into resonance, your whole being starts to swing, resonate, enter into communion with that energy. And that energy brings about a state. There are higher states and lower states. Higher mantras like OM and lower mantras that are used in black magic. Keyword is resonance through attentive repetition. "Listening" becomes more of a directed focus of attention so as to not fall asleep and perform mindless mantra-japa meditation, which only evokes lower states of self-hypnosis. The "listening" is important in the scope of learning to tune into that energy, and that's all. It has nothing to do with training your hearing ability.

[@CT2507]

It is a mantra, what are you talking about? As is Aum, and Haum... they all represent the same idea.
