Omkar, often referred to as the "Om sound," is a sacred sound and spiritual symbol in Hinduism, Buddhism, and Jainism. It represents the essence of the universe and is considered the primordial sound from which all creation originates. The sound is typically chanted during meditation and spiritual practices, believed to promote peace and harmony. The syllable "Om" consists of three phonetic components: "A," "U," and "M," which symbolize various triads in life, such as creation, preservation, and destruction. Chanting Om is thought to align the mind and body, fostering a deeper connection to the spiritual realm and enhancing overall well-being.
