If you’ve ever been curious about Aum, this episode is just for you. I’m thrilled to have Indu Arora back on the show as we dive deep into the essence of Aum—its meaning, its significance for yoga practitioners, and the difference between Om and Aum. We explore when and how each syllable should be chanted for maximum benefit and how each one plays a role in creation, sustenance, and dissolution. Indu shares how Aum exists as both a mantra and a symbol, and how these two aspects influence our practice and daily lives.
This conversation unpacks how Aum can be used in various ways—whether through mantra chanting, meditation, or even written japa (Likitha japa). If you’ve ever wondered when and how to use Aum in your practice, or if you’ve questioned whether chanting it out loud or silently makes a difference, this episode has the answers.
I hope you find as much depth and value in this conversation as I did!
