AUM (commonly known as OM) is the original, divine, sacred Mantra of India. It is composed of three sounds : A (ah) is the innermost sound produced from deep within the body, U (ooh) is the Middle sound produced somewhere in the throat area, and M (ihm) is the outermost sound produced at the lips. This denotes the Almighty Being as the Beginning, Middle and End of all beings. Therefore, chanting this Mantra, contemplating on its meaning or looking for the Source of the "I" who chants are considered the best and effective practices of Meditation.
