Lesson 7

AUM In The vedas

Lesson 8

Brahman, Vac & Akshara

AUM is considered to be the underlying creative vibration of the universe, the sound that was left over from the Big Bang. In this lecture, I will explore its role as the Akshara, and whether Om was always considered to be the word with which the divine consciousness created the universe, or if there was ever another one in its stead.

Lesson 9

AUM In The Chandogya Upanishad

In this class, we will turn to the Chandogya Upanishad, where OM is formulated, and its primacy over other mantras is established. The Chandogya Upanishad is one of the most ancient Upanishads it is an elaborate and deep yogic text. Let us explore what hidden meanings it carries and what it can teach us.

Lesson 10

Lesson 11

21 AUMs Meditation

Lesson 13

Antar Japa Of AUM

Lesson 14

Writing The OM Mantra (Likhi Japa)

Likhi Japa is the practice of writing a mantra repeatedly as a form of meditation. In this class, you will learn how writing OM can deepen concentration, slow the mind, and anchor awareness in the sacred sound through a simple yet powerful contemplative practice.
