OM the First Sound of Creation

"OM" in Sanskrit is a vibration and it is the first sound of Creation of the Universe. When God or Whoever created the Universe, it started with OM.
                The name Omkara, (Sanskrit: the syllable om) is taken as a name of God  in the Hindu revivalist Arya Samaj. Similarly, the concept of om, called onkar in Punjabi, is found in Sikh theology as a symbol of God. It invariably emphasizes God's singularity, expressed as Ek Onkar ("One Omkara" or "The Aum is One"), stating that the multiplicity of existence symbolized in the aum syllable is really founded in a singular God.
         The syllable Aum is first described as all-encompassing mystical entity in the Upanishads. Today, in all Hindu art and all over India and Nepal, 'Aum' can be seen virtually everywhere, a common sign for Hinduism and its philosophy and theology.
         As the creation began, the divine, all-encompassing consciousness took the form of the first and original vibration manifesting as sound "OM". Before creation began it was "Shunyakasha", the emptiness or the void. Shunyakasha is more than nothingness, because everything existed in a latent state of potentiality. The vibration of "OM" symbolizes the manifestation of God (Universe) in form. "OM" is the reflection of the absolute reality, it is said to be "Adi Anadi", without beginning or the end and embracing all that exists. The mantra "OM" is the name of God (Universe), the vibration of the Supreme. When taken letter by letter, A-U-M represents the divine energy (Shakti) united in its three elementary aspects: Bhrahma Shakti (Creation), Vishnu Shakti (Preservation) and Shiva (Liberation) Shakti.
         In Hinduism, Om corresponds to the crown chakra and diamond white light. (extract from wikipedia.org)

How To Expend Your Potential For Happiness

When you are sad, you are miserable. When you are miserable, you feel bad. When you feel sad and miserable, you feel lonely. When you are lonely, you are possibly feeling all alone. So, how do you reverse that ? Did you know that when you feel all of the above, you are actually ageing prematurely ?

So how do you prevent aging and being sick and the emotional roller-coaster ? This is what you do; everyday, every morning or before you go to sleep..Once or more times per day, it's up to you. Start smiling to yourself in a mirror, and tell your reflection, starring directly into your eyes: "I am a child of the Universe/God/Jesus/Buddha/Allah, I AM a Perfect creation. I am absolutely perfect. I love and approve of myself exactly as I am.. I am beautiful/handsome and I love myself exactly as I am.. I love me and I expect love and respect. I deserve love..I deserve respect...and remember, that you must  BELIEVE !!! If you don't, do you think that the Universe will believe you. Or anybody else for that matter ? Believe me, everything is written on your forehead....this invisible text. What you believe in the inside, is projected with these invisible energies to the outside world. The mirror "love exercises" work immediately. Consistently, you will see greater results.

Sometime, we have a very bad image of our self. We think that we are ugly, or too short, or too this or too that. The truth is, that we are Perfect. Until we learn, that we are absolutely perfect beings, we will have a bad body image and lots of other people (not all), will see that we are ugly. Not because we are ugly, but because we keep telling others that we are...telling, as having this invisible sign on our forehead. If you tell people that you are Fantastic, they will see it too.
