Bhagawan advices starting the day with Omkaram chanting OM (x 21).The Pranava (primeval sound OM) recital is one form of such spiritual effort.It is laid down at Prashaanthi Nilayam that the early dawn recital of Om should be done twenty one times.
This number is not arbitrarily fixed; it has a significance of its own. The Jeevathathwam (life-principle) merges with Parathathwam (the Supreme Reality). The jeevathathwam may be pictured as a rider on the twenty-headed horse. That completes the process of clarification and purification. The first call for shaanthi (peace chant) is for the purity of the aadhibhouthik (body) part of the Self. The second call is for the purity of the aadhidhaivik (the mind). The third is for the purification of the aadhyaathmik (the spirit). This Pranava recital will tone you up, calm all agitations in the mind and quicken the downpour of Grace. ![]()
