Aum (or Om, ॐ) is the sacred symbol of Hinduism, and is prefixed and sometimes suffixed to all Hindu mantras and prayers. Because it represents God, the supreme reality in three aspects of Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva, it is the symbol of the Hindu Dharma. It contains a deep symbolic message of the divine primordial vibration of the Universe, representing all existence, encompassing all of nature into the One Ultimate Reality. This symbol is commonly found on necklaces worn by Hindus. In the Upanishads, it is defined as an affirmation, as in allowing or saying 'yes'.

ohm, or om is correct. om is supposedly the sound vibration when the universe was created

Its an unreasonable question.Religious people believe Om is the only sound in the world  INCLUDING strings and wont hear anything else.It would be unsuccesful to mix them and compare them both.No relationships as i said :string sound is a by-product of om.Complicated,but over a thousand years of belief.

The Omskar..or OM. It is sounded by putting the three sanskrit letters A-U-M together. The sound is said to be the sound of creation, the first sound. It represents God.\n\nThe swastika is a Hindu symbol. It represents good luck and good fortune. The Nazis reversed the symbol and turned it on its side. It is believed when it is used this way, it means death. (they probably should of asked a Hindu more about the symbol before using it, eh?)\n\nThe lotus flower. The lotus flower is chosen because the seed is planted in the mud, but the blossom rises through the murky water and appears at the surface. It represents the good in us blossoming up and reaching towards God.\n\nThose are just a few of the symbols. There are a lot more. You can always do a Google or Yahoo search on "Hindu symbols" and there are many websites that have pictures of the symbols and give some really great explainations as well.

I don't reckon that the inventors of this trademark had Hebrew in their mind when thought of it, but you are quite right.\n\nYah is one of god's many names in Hebrew.\nHoo means "he", or "his", but sometimes it has no meaning.\nThe combination of the two words is very popular in biblical names, such as Zedekiah (Tzidkiyahu: justice of Yah), or Isaiah (Yisha'ayahu: Yah is salvation).\n\nYahoo means "he is god".

I think it is holy because God approves.  However, it is man who interprets what God approves and disapproves of, so it may be better to say something is holy because man told me God approves.

Immanuel, "God is with us." The simple fact is that it is quite common in the Bible for human beings to be given names that have the purpose of declaring or reflecting a particular attribute of God, e.g., Eliab, Eliada, Elzaphan, Eliakim, Elisha, Eleazar, Tavel, Gedaliah.\n\nIn Isaiah 7:14 the Hebrew states "hinei ha'almah harah veyoledet ben" "behold (hineih) the young woman (ha - the almah- young woman) is pregnant (harah) and shall give birth (ve-and yoledet-shall give birth) to a son (ben)". The Christians translate this as "behold a virgin shall give birth." They have made two mistakes (probably deliberate) in the one verse. They mistranslate "ha" as "a" instead of "the". They mistranslate "almah" as "virgin", when in fact the Hebrew word for virgin is "betulah". Aside from the fact that if you read the context of that prediction you will see clearly that it is predicting an event that was supposed to happen and be seen by king Achaz who lived 700 years before Jesus!

God's language is silence.\n\nGod is omnipresent.  That means that God isn't separate from you or I.  God is within you and I.  \n\nIt's not like you are not part of God, but God is somehow external in some famous person.\n\nIf you really want to hear God, you have to listen to silence.  That means listening to not only all the typical noises around you, but all the thoughts in your head as well, including the voice that keeps telling you that this is a load of shyt.\n\nPeace brother.

GOD is an acronym, which means, G-Generator, O-Organizer, D-Destructor(Destroys the evil, not the world and people). \nGod gets his name by his attributes and not by his form. Know something more about God:....too big, but perfect.\nWho is God?\nWho has been remembered as the Ocean of Love, the Intellect of the Wise, the Almighty Authority, the Comforter of Hearts, the Truth, The Living Being and the Blissful One?\nGod Says:\n I am the Ocean of Love; \nI show you the path of love. \nMy love remains unbroken and constant. \nI cannot forget even one of you. \nI have so much love for you,  \nand My love is unconditional and unlimited. \nI am the Beloved.You have been calling out to Me for a long time. \nWho Is God?\nWe are used to knowing things by seeing them, hearing them, tasting them, touching or smelling them. Most of us have grown up in a ‘seeing–is–believing’ and ‘hands on’ culture and we are used to perceiving things in that way. Because we can’t see, hear, taste, touch or smell God, the question arises – is God for real?\nOne can reach out to God with pure thoughts and be connected to Him. The soul experiences the response of pure feelings and spiritual strength. God is truth itself and thus can be recognized with the eye of truth.\nGod: The Supreme Soul\nLike us, God is also a soul. Unlike us, He is referred to as the Supreme Soul – the only soul who never takes a body (gross or subtle, human or angelic) of His own. He is beyond the effects of actions and is never subject to the dualities of birth and death, pleasure and pain, success and failure. Being beyond the limits of time of this physical world, He retains absolute knowledge of the universe and all its dimensions.\nWhere is God?\nGod lives, not everywhere but somewhere. A thought of God almost always takes the eyes upwards, as though one is perhaps expecting a face to miraculously appear from behind the clouds or to beam down from the moon. Thoughts are powerful. They link one soul to another. If they are properly channelled, thoughts can even go where only the soul can travel – beyond the moon and stars to a dimension of golden red light, the original home of all souls. Immersed in the experience of the warmth of this light, the soul feels as though it is truly at home at last, and with God.\nGod – The Spiritual Sun \nLike the physical sun, which gives light and life indiscriminately to all beings, God is the Spiritual Sun, giving light to all, whomever and wherever they may be. He serves altruistically, without any selfish motives, reminding each one of their innate qualities of love, peace and happiness. This is why He has been remembered in some countries and cultures by the name Shiva, The Benevolent One.\nGod’s Wisdom, Love and Power\nPeople may wonder why, if God exists, He doesn’t wave a magic wand and fix things, making or at least influencing everyone so that they do exactly what they ‘should’ do. But God never takes away anyone’s freedom of choice. God’s wisdom is to recognize and respect each soul’s individual identity, freedom and inherent goodness. God shares knowledge – a profound understanding of the dualities and dilemmas of love and hatred, happiness and sorrow, victory and defeat, etc. – but He does not make our choices for us. The soul is free to choose ‘to be or not to be’, ‘to love or not to love’. God’s love strengthens the soul’s will to free itself from the distresses caused by vices such as selfish desire, anger, fear, ego and attachment. God’s power helps the soul to recognize its highest potential and to aim for perfection by practising the art of simple living and high thinking. Such practice by a significant number of souls eventually brings about positive change in the whole of humanity.\nWhen you learn to tune your mind in meditation to the mind of God, then whatever the situation, you always have a source of help and strength to draw upon – an infinite reservoir of power and

It means don't ever stop giving up on the Lord to me. My grand mother told me this: There is a devil there is no doubt, but is he trying to get in, or is he trying to get out.\n\nThis means something to me. For me, it is my responsibility to make the connection with God each and everyday. The only way I have found to do that, is through daily prayer and mediation, and that is the connector. Good deeds are not enough for me. I am also responsible for my own happiness, and I have never found it, other than through spirituality, and the connection with my Lord.

The term "Allah" simply means "the [one] god", implying a single Almighty deity reminiscient of the Judeo-Christian "Yahweh" / "Jehovah". However, it is significant that "Allah" is clearly NOT a personal name, while the Hebrew Tetragrammaton clearly *IS* a personal name for Almighty God.\n\nIt's not exactly wrong to call the Almighty by the impersonal "God", just as it's not wrong to call one's offspring "Child". Faithful men of the Holy Scriptures used both "God" and a form of "Jehovah" when they referred to and addressed the Almighty. However, the term "Allah" seems intended specifically to reject Judeo-Christian spiritual heritage.\n\nIf we want a familiar and close relationship, it makes sense to use the personal name of someone we love. The Scriptures encourage us to use God's personal name.\n\nThe Hebrew name “Yahweh” (or “Yehowah”) does seem to accurately pronounce the divine name. Just as the Hebrew name “Yeshua” (or “Yehoshua”) is translated into “Jesus” in English, the Hebrew name “Yahweh” is translated into “Jehovah” in English.\n\nThe important thing is to use God’s personal name in whatever language you speak, rather than insisting upon the impersonal! The name “Yahweh” is certainly preferable to the non-name “God” or “Lord”, especially if you speak Hebrew. If you speak English, feel free to use the name "Jehovah".\n\n(Psalms 83:18) That people may know that you, whose name is Jehovah, You alone are the Most High over all the earth\n\n(John 17:26) [Jesus said] I have made your name known to them and will make it known, in order that the love with which you loved me may be in them\n\nLearn more:\nhttp://watchtower.org/library/na/index.htm\nhttp://watchtower.org/e/na/

It literally means worship of all gods. The deep meaning is if you worship any god you like, the service goes to only one "Parameshwar", the Supreme God.
