Mythology / Philosophy / Spiritual:
** Detailed Meaning & Explanation 'Pranava' is the name of the sacred syllable AUM (OM) — the primordial sound from which all of creation emerges. Vishnu is Pranavah — He who IS the Pranava, the sacred AUM itself. Just as AUM contains all sounds and all meanings, Vishnu contains all of existence. The AUM is Vishnu's sonic form — chanting AUM is chanting Vishnu. ** Mythological Significance The Upanishads narrate that at the beginning of each cycle of creation, Vishnu (as Narayana) contemplates and breathes out the Pranava (AUM) — and from this sacred syllable, the universe is born. Brahma first received the Vedas (beginning with AUM) from Vishnu's grace. The Bhagavata Purana states that the four Vedas emerged from AUM, and AUM is the sound-body of Vishnu: 'A' represents Vishnu's creative aspect, 'U' represents His sustaining aspect, and 'M' represents His dissolving aspect. ** Spiritual & Vedantic Meaning The Bhagavad Gita (7.8) states: 'Pranavah sarva-vedeshu' — I am the Pranava (AUM) in all the Vedas. The Mandukya Upanishad is devoted entirely to the meditation on AUM as Brahman: 'Aum iti etat aksharam idam sarvam' — AUM is all this. When a devotee chants AUM with awareness, they are in direct communion with Vishnu as Pranavah. AUM is described as having four quarters — three manifest states (waking, dreaming, deep sleep) and the transcendent fourth (Turiya/Vishnu-consciousness).
