AUM (also OM) The three Sanskrit syllables of the central Hindu mantra A-U-M are said to represent three stages of cosmic evolution: Creation (the related deity is Brahma), Sustenance (the related deity is Vishnu) and Destruction (the related deity is Siva).
For correct pronunciation, one begins at the back of the throat (Ah), moves to the middle (OO) and finishes at the exterior of the vocal cavity (MM).
This apparently mirrors the mantra’s threefold nature of creation, sustenance and destruction.
Mentioned in the Upanisads, AUM is often invoked to mark the beginning and end of prayer and contemplative discourse.
