Om. The sacred syllable. Say it out loud as you exhale. You say O ah ma. Sometimes Oma, sometimes Ama or just Ma. It is an interesting coincidence that peoples all over the world have mother goddesses with variations of this word. Christians have “Mother MAry”, Hindus have “Kali-MA”, Africans “YaMAya”, Incans “PachaMAma”, Hopis and Navaho “MAski”, Rome “Tellus MAter” and the Celts “Eorþan MAador” and literally hundreds more. The Indoeuropean linguistic root for “love” is also “ama”.Strangely universal this powerful syllable.
