Om Shanthi Om Chanting

Peaceful Om Shanthi Om Chanting.

Om or Aum is a sacred sound and a spiritual symbol in Indian religions. It signifies the essence of the ultimate reality, consciousness or Atman. More broadly, it is a syllable that is chanted either independently or before a spiritual recitation in Hinduism, Buddhism, and Jainism.

In Hinduism, Om is one of the most important spiritual symbols. It refers to Atman (soul, self within) and Brahman (ultimate reality, entirety of the universe, truth, divine, supreme spirit, cosmic principles, knowledge). The syllable is often found at the beginning and the end of chapters in the Vedas, the Upanishads, and other Hindu texts. It is a sacred spiritual incantation made before and during the recitation of spiritual texts, during puja and private prayers, in ceremonies of rites of passage (sanskara) such as weddings, and sometimes during meditative and spiritual activities such as Yoga.

UK, England & Great Britain Explained

It’s a question we often get asked;

The UK, Britain, Great Britain, The British Isles, England… Are the terms interchangeable? Most of the time, the answer has to be no. But sometimes they are, and everyone uses the wrong name from time to time, including the English… or rather the British. Even people that live here seem to get the UK confused with Britain – the terms are often used interchangeably. So let’s clear it up once and for all.. #GreatBritain​, #ukexplained​​, #EnglandUKDifference​, #UK

The UK is short for The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland… quite a mouthful! It is a sovereign state but is made up of four countries; England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. Great Britain is not a country; it’s a landmass (Geographical Term). It is known as ‘Great’ because it is the largest island in the British Isles, and houses the countries of England, Scotland and Wales within its shores. Confusion is understandable! The name Britain is used for national sports teams and in many formal settings. The explanation lies partly in tradition, and partly in the grammar, because there is no corresponding adjective for the name ” United Kingdom”.

OM Chanting

OM is a cosmic, primordial and the totality of all sounds which initiated the creation of universe. OM is also pronounced as AUM.

OM the single word produces the sound and vibration which allows you to feel one with the universe. It is scientifically proved that the vibration of divine sound OM (AUM) has long term benefits on the mind, soul and the whole body. Chanting of ‘aaaaa’ gives sensation to the nervous system besides chest and stomach, ‘ooooo’ sensation can be felt at throat and the chanting ‘mmmmm’ resonates with the nasal and the brain. Due to the high spiritual and creative power, when AUM is chanted, energy starts moving from abdomen all the way up to the brain. A few years ago, benefits of chanting OM (AUM) mantra have also been proved by the scientists and they confirmed that daily repeatedly chanting OM (AUM) mantra reduces stress, increases concentration, gives peace of mind, treats depression. It was concluded in the analysis that OM (AUM) serves as a brain stabilizer which is an energy medicine for human beings under stress. Research papers confirming the effects and benefits of chanting OM were published in International Journal of Computer Science and Network Security (IJCSNS) in January 2009 Issue. OM (AUM) Mantra is recited by everyone especially at the beginning and end of yoga and meditation sessions. OM is considered to be the most powerful of all the mantras. #omchanting​, #meditation​, #om
