Ek Ong Kar means “There is one God that created all of creation”. <strong>Historically </strong>these were the <u><span style="color: darkorange">first three words spoken by Guru Nanak, a saintly man of universal consciousness, after he came out of a state of Samadhi (one-ness with the universe and creation) for three days.</span></u> His words became the Japji and Ek Ong Kar makes up the first line of this sacred text. Guru Nanak delivered to the world universal teachings that are available to anyone regardless of race, creed, religion, cast, or social status.</span></span></p><p> </p><p><a href="http://www.believeinpeace.com/prod.html" target="_blank">Believe In Peace - big sale on our inspiring, affordable apparel</a></p><p> </p><p> </p><p>[There is a small write up at the above site. WE are on look out for such kind of origin.] :advocate:</p><p> </p><p><span style="font-family: 'Georgia'"><span style="color: blue"><strong><span style="color: darkorange">On “OM”</span></strong></span></span></p><p> </p><p><span style="color: blue"><span style="font-family: 'Georgia'"><u>Of all the sacred sounds on this planet, the one that is most often chanted is the “OM”. Undoubtedly, at any given moment, there is someone, somewhere chanting this sacred mantra. The “OM ” is considered one of the oldest vocal sounds in existence—many speculate that it has been chanted for untold thousands of years. </u></span></span></p><p> </p><p> </p><p><span style="font-family: 'Georgia'"><span style="color: blue">It is considered to be the original, primordial sound—the mantra of creation. </span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Georgia'"><span style="color: blue">OM is a mantra from the Hindu tradition. OM is a Sanskrit word, which is said to be the original primordial creative sound from which the universe and all of creation first manifested. <u>While pronounced “OM”, certain Sanskrit scholars state that it is written as “AUM”.</u> Many consider the two words to be interchangeable because of this. OM is said to be the sound that contains all sounds--it is the totality of all other sounds. </span></span></p><p> </p><p><span style="font-family: 'Georgia'"><span style="color: blue">Swami Sivananda Radha says, “<u>The cosmic sound AUM, or its condensed form, OM, is the origin of all other sound. OM is everything. It is the name of God.</u>” </span></span></p><p> </p><p> </p><p><span style="font-family: 'Georgia'"><span style="color: blue">OM is a multi-dimensional sound, and as such, may be understood a number of different ways. <u>One understanding is that OM (or it’s written form “AUM”) represents attributes of the major trinity of Hindu gods; Brahman, Vishnu and Shiva.</u> The sounding of the “A” represents the energy of Brahman, the creator and the creational process. The middle portion of the sound, the “U” represents the energy of Vishnu, the preserver and relates to the maintenance and preservation of what has been created. The final “M” represents the energy of Shiva, the transformer and relates to the vital transformational energy to shift and change that which has been created and preserved.</span></span></p><p> </p><p><span style="font-family: 'Georgia'"><span style="color: blue">Another understanding of the OM (or “AUM”) is that the “A” represents the physical plane, the “U” the “mental and astral planes” and the “M, all that is beyond the reach of the intellect. “AUM” or OM is the initial syllable, which begins almost all mantras. Thus OM represents the Infinite, the One Mind, the all embracing consciousness—that which is the very essence of existence.</span></span></p><p> </p><p> </p><p><span style="font-family: 'Georgia'"><span style="color: blue">In the Tibetan Buddhist tradition, the OM (“AUM”) represents different aspects of the trinity of the Body, Speech and Mind of the Buddha, or an enlightened being. The “A” represents the Body, the “U” represents Speech, and the “M” represents the Mind. Sounding the AUM in this manner puts one in resonance with these qualities of consciousness.</span></span></p><p> </p><p><span style="font-family: 'Georgia'"><span style="color: blue"><u>The OM is a Bija (or “seed”) mantra and may be utilized to resonate the third eye. </u>However, it may also be chanted as a 3 syllable word “AUM” (and pronounced as “AH – OH - MMM”) to resonate the heart, the throat and the crown chakras. In fact, the OM can, through our intent, become a multi-purpose mantra with capabilities of resonating and aligning all the chakras—of cleansing imbalanced energies and purifying self. Sung with sincerity and devotion, vocalization of the OM can put the chanter in touch with the source of all creation, providing a bridge between the spiritual and physical dimensions and opening the way for inspirational contact with higher realms and beings. </span></span></p><p> </p><p> </p><p><span style="font-family: 'Georgia'"><span style="color: blue">Many people ask if there is indeed a correct pronunciation for the OM. Is it “OM” or “AUM” or something else? In reality, there does not seem to be a correct pronunciation. <u><strong>Depending upon the country, language and dialect, the OM can be pronounced “AUM, UM, UNG, ANG, <span style="color: darkorange">ONG”</span> and so on. Yet, the resonance and effects of this mantra seem to be very similar despite varied differences in pronunciation. </strong></u>Much depends upon the intention of the person creating the sound—where do they wish the “OM” to resonate—which chakra and for what purpose. . </span></span></p><p> </p><p> </p><p><span style="font-family: 'Georgia'"><span style="color: blue"><u><span style="color: darkorange">OM as a sound symbolizes the supreme source. To many, the sound of OM is synonymous with the energy of peace.</span></u> OM may be found as the root of many sacred words of different languages including our western “Amen” and the Hebrew “Shalom”, which has many meanings including “peace”. The OM initiates peace and tranquility when it is listened to, and particularly when it is chanted.</span></span></p><p> </p><p> </p><p><a href="http://www.healingsounds.com/articles/planetaryHS.asp" target="_blank">Healing Sounds - Planetary Healing Sounds</a></p><p> </p><p> </p><p><span style="font-family: 'Georgia'"><span style="color: darkorange">I am sure that there would have been some study conducted by Sikhs intellengesia.

Here is where they come from. Om (or Aum) is made up of the sounds "ah", "oh" and "mh" (I am avoiding sanskrit alphabet here as most web browsers don't have the necessary font to display it!). It is said that that the wavelength (or maybe half-wavelength) of Om is 7.23 cm, the average length across the palm - this would put the frequency at about 4.2 GHz. Microwave ovens work at around 2.45 GHz, as this is an ideal frequency for heating water (which is how microwave ovens work), water comprising 80% of the human body. Some frequencies in the lower GigaHertz region are absorbed by atmospheric precipitation (causes communication difficulties).</span></span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Georgia'"><span style="font-size: 10px"><span style="color: blue">The first spoken word is Aham.

[QUOTE="roopk, post: 55120, member: 4845"] [FONT=Georgia][COLOR=blue]EK ONG KAR is represented here in the ancient Gurmuki language. Ek Ong Kar means “There is one God that created all of creation”. [B]Historically [/B]these were the [U][COLOR=darkorange]first three words spoken by Guru Nanak, a saintly man of universal consciousness, after he came out of a state of Samadhi (one-ness with the universe and creation) for three days.[/COLOR][/U] His words became the Japji and Ek Ong Kar makes up the first line of this sacred text.

[U]While pronounced “OM”, certain Sanskrit scholars state that it is written as “AUM”.[/U] Many consider the two words to be interchangeable because of this. OM is said to be the sound that contains all sounds--it is the totality of all other sounds.

[U]One understanding is that OM (or it’s written form “AUM”) represents attributes of the major trinity of Hindu gods; Brahman, Vishnu and Shiva.[/U] The sounding of the “A” represents the energy of Brahman, the creator and the creational process. The middle portion of the sound, the “U” represents the energy of Vishnu, the preserver and relates to the maintenance and preservation of what has been created. The final “M” represents the energy of Shiva, the transformer and relates to the vital transformational energy to shift and change that which has been created and preserved.[/COLOR][/FONT] [FONT=Georgia][COLOR=blue]Another understanding of the OM (or “AUM”) is that the “A” represents the physical plane, the “U” the “mental and astral planes” and the “M, all that is beyond the reach of the intellect. “AUM” or OM is the initial syllable, which begins almost all mantras. Thus OM represents the Infinite, the One Mind, the all embracing consciousness—that which is the very essence of existence.[/COLOR][/FONT] [FONT=Georgia][COLOR=blue]In the Tibetan Buddhist tradition, the OM (“AUM”) represents different aspects of the trinity of the Body, Speech and Mind of the Buddha, or an enlightened being. The “A” represents the Body, the “U” represents Speech, and the “M” represents the Mind. Sounding the AUM in this manner puts one in resonance with these qualities of consciousness.[/COLOR][/FONT] [FONT=Georgia][COLOR=blue][U]The OM is a Bija (or “seed”) mantra and may be utilized to resonate the third eye. [/U]However, it may also be chanted as a 3 syllable word “AUM” (and pronounced as “AH – OH - MMM”) to resonate the heart, the throat and the crown chakras. In fact, the OM can, through our intent, become a multi-purpose mantra with capabilities of resonating and aligning all the chakras—of cleansing imbalanced energies and purifying self. Sung with sincerity and devotion, vocalization of the OM can put the chanter in touch with the source of all creation, providing a bridge between the spiritual and physical dimensions and opening the way for inspirational contact with higher realms and beings. [/COLOR][/FONT] [FONT=Georgia][COLOR=blue]Many people ask if there is indeed a correct pronunciation for the OM. Is it “OM” or “AUM” or something else? In reality, there does not seem to be a correct pronunciation. [U][B]Depending upon the country, language and dialect, the OM can be pronounced “AUM, UM, UNG, ANG, [COLOR=darkorange]ONG”[/COLOR] and so on. Yet, the resonance and effects of this mantra seem to be very similar despite varied differences in pronunciation. [/B][/U]Much depends upon the intention of the person creating the sound—where do they wish the “OM” to resonate—which chakra and for what purpose. . [/COLOR][/FONT] [FONT=Georgia][COLOR=blue][U][COLOR=darkorange]OM as a sound symbolizes the supreme source. To many, the sound of OM is synonymous with the energy of peace.[/COLOR][/U] OM may be found as the root of many sacred words of different languages including our western “Amen” and the Hebrew “Shalom”, which has many meanings including “peace”. The OM initiates peace and tranquility when it is listened to, and particularly when it is chanted.[/COLOR][/FONT] [URL="http://www.healingsounds.com/articles/planetaryHS.asp"]Healing Sounds - Planetary Healing Sounds[/URL] [FONT=Georgia][COLOR=darkorange]I am sure that there would have been some study conducted by Sikhs intellengesia.

Here is where they come from. Om (or Aum) is made up of the sounds "ah", "oh" and "mh" (I am avoiding sanskrit alphabet here as most web browsers don't have the necessary font to display it!). It is said that that the wavelength (or maybe half-wavelength) of Om is 7.23 cm, the average length across the palm - this would put the frequency at about 4.2 GHz. Microwave ovens work at around 2.45 GHz, as this is an ideal frequency for heating water (which is how microwave ovens work), water comprising 80% of the human body. Some frequencies in the lower GigaHertz region are absorbed by atmospheric precipitation (causes communication difficulties).[/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT] [FONT=Georgia][SIZE=2][COLOR=blue]The first spoken word is Aham.
