🌺।।10 Powerful Mantras with different yet specific purposes।।🌺

⚜️1. ॐ – Om/Aum

According to the ancient Vedic tradition, the sound ‘Om’ contains every vibration that has ever existed – and every vibration that ever will. Image
‘Om’ is the all-pervading, omnipotent and omnipresent sound of the Cosmos. For this reason, it is also referred to as ‘Pranava’; the energy that runs in our Prana.
‘Om’ is not just regarded as a word, it is an intonation produced by coalescing the three Sanskrit syllables (Au-Oh-Mm); which on concentrated repetition gives a threefold experience on the physical, mental, and astral plane.
