The OM symbol is a Sanskrit word that calls out to the creator of the universe. To pronounce it, say the English word "home" without the leading "h".

In ancient India, great sages discovered that meditating on OM and chanting it can help a seeker to reach the deepest spiritual insights. The same remains true today. Such chanting helps because it concentrates the mind on the inner quest for the source of all that we experience. Even a single whisper or silent contemplation of OM can help you to remember the quest amid the distractions of everyday life.
