Behind this small symbol lies a spiritual idea on a cosmic scale. Om is one of the most important symbols in Buddhism, Hinduism and Jainism. The syllable is both an spiritual portal and a vibrant mantra. Pronounced AUM, it celebrates the creative powers of the universe. There are various shades of meaning to Om: It is described as "the universe beyond the sun", that which is "mysterious and inexhaustible", "the infinite language, the infinite knowledge", or "essence of breath, life, everything that exists", and that "with which one is liberated."
