The term "Oum" refers to a sacred sound and spiritual symbol in various Indian religions, particularly in Hinduism. It is often considered the sound of the universe and represents the essence of ultimate reality or consciousness. The symbol is typically written as "ॐ" in the Devanagari script and is used in meditation and chanting to promote spiritual growth and connection. In addition to its spiritual significance, "Oum" is also associated with the concept of Brahman, the ultimate reality in Hindu philosophy. It embodies the three states of consciousness: waking, dreaming, and deep sleep, making it a powerful mantra for practitioners seeking enlightenment and inner peace.
