How to draw the OM symbol

Om is the sound that, according to Indian religion, created everything. Om is pronounced like AUM with a certain vibration in the voice. Om represents the three gods of Hinduism - Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva. Om is the highest and most powerful mantra, om symbolizes Brahman (absolute, fundamental, infinite, unchanging, motionless) (not to be confused with brahmins, who are servants). Om created the universe.

What does the sign Om mean? A symbol similar to the number 3 or the letter Z with a squiggle on the side means that the entire reality of a person manifests itself through the waking state, the unconscious state (the state of deep sleep) and the transitional state between sleep and wakefulness (the state of sleep when dreams are dreamed). Below the semicircle is the waking state, above the semicircle is the unconscious, on the side is the intermediate state. The dot means a state that Buddhists call nirvana (this is to make it clearer), i.e. our ultimate goal, our end point, which we must reach. What is stopping us from doing this? This is of course an illusion or Maya. Maya is depicted in a semicircle below the dot, the illusion only applies to our world in which we live.

How do we get to this point. Mantra is one of the basics. AUM is the most powerful mantra, all mantras begin with this sound. The most famous mantra, true in Buddhism, is OM MANI PADME HUM. There are a lot of them in Hinduism, for example, OM NAMO BHAVATE VASUDEVAYA. A mantra is the same prayer that must be repeated 108 times. The mantra clears the mind, understanding of the truth comes from within. At first glance, it will seem how you can remember these words, in general, it’s easy, I read it several times and they ate into your brain, like “straw in the ocean, so as not to drown.”

Step 1. We draw a symbol similar to the letter Z - our unconscious and waking state.

Step 2. Draw an intermediate state.

Step 3. Draw Maya and a dot - the final goal.

Step 4. We paint over everything.
