the AUM symbol in Sun Nafissi’s artworks

 

 What is the meaning of AUM?

The powerful Om mantra includes four parts: three visible parts, A, U, and M, and a fourth that is invisible, the melodic shadow and vibrating murmur.

 

These four parts represent Hinduism’s mysticism and metaphysics. The AUM mantra contains three sound-generating letters that represent the three worlds (three stages of existence) in Hinduism:  (A),  (U), and  (M).

A in the AUM mantra represents a state of mind when you are awake, the awareness of wakefulness, for the physical world.

U in the AUM mantra represents the state of sleep and dream: the awareness of dreaming in the mental world.

M in the AUM mantra represents the state of deep sleep without dreams (Sushupti): a deep, dreamless sleep for the spiritual or afterlife world.

These are the three states of the human mind and the different stages of human consciousness.

 

What does AUM symbolize?

AUM or OM is recognized as the primal sound and origin of existence in Hinduism. This holy phrase represents the unity between mind, body, and spirit in Hindu theories. It symbolizes the fifth dimension of consciousness, a pure sound and the source and origin of all sounds.

This phrase is considered the source and principle of everything and the connection to divine knowledge and the cosmos in Hinduism, and it is used in meditation, religious observances, and various Hindu rituals.

The history of using the AUM

Using this mantra (AUM or OM) as a sacred symbol in Hinduism dates back to ancient times. This phrase has been used in Hindu sacred texts for millennia and is still recognized as an important and spiritual symbol in this religion. The sound of AUM or OM is usually used repetitively and gently by pronouncing these three letters (A-U-M) with a focus on the breath and sound.

This technique is often used in meditation, religious rites, yoga, and spiritual practices. Repeating this sound aims to achieve unity between mind, body, and spirit, create inner peace and mental focus, cleanse the chakras, generate positive energy, and purify the environment of negative energy.

Using AUM or OM in meditation and spiritual practices can help with mental calmness, focus, increased awareness, and a sense of unity. The vibrations of the Om murmur can also help relieve stress, increase positive energy, and improve spiritual well-being.

The AUM or OM symbol in Hinduism is used as a symbol of universal unity and origin of existence, and it represents the three worlds (physical, mental, and spiritual). This mantra has become the sacred word “Hum” in Tibet, “Amen” in Islam, “Amen” in ancient Egypt, Greece, Rome…, and Judaism and Christianity.

In various arts, including painting, music, and poetry, the AUM or OM symbol is used as a symbol of universal unity. It is also an important element in spirituality and mysticism. This sacred symbol in artworks can add more depth and meaning and strengthen the connection between the works and their spiritual aspects.
