SLIDESHOW-OM around the world

CLICK HERE or on the image to download slideshow (2.5mb).

The sound OM, and the symbol that represents it are omnipresent throughout India and Nepal. OM is the original and universal sound and seed from which everything is created. It is used in most chants and mantras and is a tool for meditation. You can literally not walk for 10 feet in India without seeing the 3 like symbol on a wall, a taxi, or hanging from a rear view mirror. Here are just some of the OM's we have encountered while in India.

It's interesting to see an outsider's point of view on a different country. I'm Indian, I just went this summer and returned myself. Cool blog, guys.

Very relaxing (and my newborn is crying from colic right now so that's saying a lot!)

Safe journeys
