The Power of Chanting Om

The chanting of Om drives away all worldly thoughts and removes distraction and infuses new vigor in the body.
When you feel depressed, chant Om fifty times and you will be filled with new vigor and strength. The chanting of Om is a powerful tonic. When you chant Om, you feel you are the pure, all pervading light and consciousness.
Those who chant Om will have a powerful, sweet voice. Whenever you take a stroll, you can chant Om. You can also sing Om in a beautiful way. The rhythmic pronunciation of Om makes the mind serene and pointed, and infuses the spiritual qualifications which ensure self-realization.
Those who do meditation of Om daily will get tremendous power. They will have lust re in their eyes and faces.

Omkara translates approximately to "chanting Om". Om is given as a sacred syllable in the Bhagavad Gita, an Hindu scripture.

"O Arjuna, I am the rapidity in the water, I am the radiance in the sun and the moon, the sacred syllable OM in all the Vedas, the sound in the ether, and the manhood in men. (7.08)"

Here, the Supreme Lord of the Hindus (Krishna) is Himself saying that He is Om and Om is Him. Thus, the chanting of Om is equivalent to reciting "God" or "Lord" or any of the million names of God, for those in the Hindu faith.

Here Agni from the Gita:
"One who leaves the body while meditating on Brahman and uttering OM, the sacred monosyllable sound of Brahman, attains the Supreme goal. (8.13)"

One string of commonality I've found in most any religion I've studied, is that "those who call on the name of the Lord will be saved." This chanting and singing of the name of God is universal, widespread, and beneficial to the faithful.

Everthing in this world is reflection of Omkara. Every thing is Omkara

Hinduism has elements of Spiritual Science.
Those who have realized the truth, they came to hear the universal sound and it was humming. The symbol given to that sound is Aum. it is not an alphabetical expression but the existential expression. even highest logistic scholars of ancient times thought it wise not to include in alphabetical order of Sanskrit.

The worship of Aum denotes one surrenders to aim. and practice of Aum is used to create the spiritual awakening. That is it.

Scientifically saying imam...is sound produced in universe due to rotations n translation of billions of star and matter --be it dark matter or visible.

so by saying om we try to resonate with such huge amount of matter n energy.
