This pendant is a finely wrought piece of sterling silver, fashioned into the shape of the sacred syllable "Om," also represented as "AUM," which holds deep significance within Hinduism and other Dharmic religions. The symbol "Om" is first referenced in the ancient Upanishads, texts of high spiritual importance in Hindu philosophy, where it is associated with a myriad of profound concepts.
"Om" is often revered as the "cosmic sound," a mystical syllable that encapsulates an affirmation of the divine, serving as a representation of a vast array of abstract spiritual concepts. The intricate phonetic structure of Om, composed of the sounds 'a,' 'u,' and 'm,' symbolizes the fundamental stages of cosmic creation, as detailed in the Aitareya Brahmana of the Rig Veda.
The visual form of "Om" is an iconic emblem, embodying the totality of existence, consciousness, and the cosmos itself. As a pendant, this symbol serves not just as a decorative element but as an invocation and a constant reminder of the interconnectedness with the supreme Absolute. It is a revered artefact that captures the essence of spirituality and the universal bond between the divine and the material world.
