[edit] Sound sample

can anyone post a sound sample of Aum its its hinduism—Preceding unsigned comment added by Psychomelodic (talkcontribs)

[edit] Additional Western Appearances

It could possibly be further added that "OM" has appeared independently in Western Mystery Tradition through Enochian, in which the letters O and M combine to form OM, meaning "to know", "to understand", or "wisdom". —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.175.50.26 (talk • contribs)

[edit] Re: Om/Racism

Just because the title of the article was "Aum" and not "Om" does not automatically meanthat the person was white. They could have been yellow, red, blue, or brown.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 151.199.193.199 (talk) 18:40, 9 October 2007 (UTC)

I don't usually edit other people's comments but I removed an offensive remark here. -- Q Chris 09:48, 9 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] OM is found in Christian, Judism, Islam in the word AMEN

The origine of all peoples is the middle-east. As peoples spread to all points of the compass they brought holy words with them. From Sumeria the word EN = LORD. AM or OM = being/existant. For example, ENKI = Lord of the Earth (KI = Earth), ENLIL = Lord of the Air. So AM+EN = Eternal Lord. The voice from the burning bush said: I AM. So saying OM is the word/name/essence of God crosses ALL of our religious affiliations.161.40.17.51 21:12, 19 October 2007 (UTC)

IS THE VEDIC "OM" IN SANSKRIT SCRIPT, READ BACKWARDS FROM RIGHT TO LEFT, THE NUMBER 786 IMPRINTED IN KORAN IN ARABIC WAY - HOLIEST OF VEDIC SYMBOLS MISREAD BY MUSLIMS? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Nvvchar (talkcontribs) 07:21, 16 November 2007 (UTC)

Please take your conspiracy theories somewhere else.Bakaman 02:15, 20 November 2007 (UTC)

First of all, it is not my theory. It is not conspiracy theory at all which I have stated. It is what is written about in Web pages. To cite a few, please read on the following. Also google on this subject. i) Kaaba a Hindu Temple? www.hinduism.co.za/kaabaa.htm ii) Facts of Life: TRUTH ON KABA agrasen.blogspot.com/2006/11/truth-on-kaba.html Posted by Nvvchar —Preceding unsigned comment added by 122.163.221.104 (talk) 10:14, 28 November 2007 (UTC)

I will add the section.. 'Turiya is the space that lands after the aum representing the fourth state of mind' OK! namasteDomsta333 (talk) 12:31, 15 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Why just Sanskrit version next to the label?

I see no reason, why it should be just Sanskrit. What's the point about this? I think it's a matter of no WP:NPOV. --Thirusivaperur (talk) 18:18, 25 March 2008 (UTC)
