Since ancient times, the mantra has been recited in the temple by persons authentically initiated. Its four entrances point east, west, south and north, and each entrance has a very high gate tower (Gopura). Srirangam is a very large temple with huge land holdings extending on its four sides. In the famous temple Srirangam he was initiated into the mantra by his teacher. Until the arrival of Ramanuja, it was used only by persons who had been initiated into the mantra, and this initiation always took place from the mouth of the teacher to the ear of the disciple. Sri Ramanuja was the teacher who introduced this mantra to the masses of Kali Yuga. Source:, “OM Namo Narayanaya”, Dr.K.Parvathi Kumar, Edition Kulapati, Welmelskirchen, Germany 2014 We are not subserviant to our lower self, we only belog to God. This is really nice, because that means that our soul doesn’t belong to our emotions, to our limited mind, to our body, to our desires, or to our karma, or to this world, but is ever free, it belongs only to God.
So OM itself means the Atma belongs only to God, only to Lakshmi Narayana.
And M comes from the Sanskrit word „Mah“, which means „mine“. M – stands for the Atma, because M is the 25th letter in the Sanskrit alphabet, and the 25th tattwa of creation (which means essence) is the Soul. U – means „only“ or it means Maha Lakshmi, because where Narayana is, Maha Lakshmi is also there. In our Sri Sampradaya, which is our Vaishnava tradition, the OM in Om Namo Narayanaya means:Ī – stands for Narayana, Maha Vishnu, because A is the first letter also in the Sanskrit alphabet, and as Jesus says that „I am the Alpha and the Omega, I am the first and the last“, so as A is first, Narayana is first, He is the first cause of everything. Keep in mind here that the Snaskrit OM sign is literally translated as AUM, however the pronunciation is OM. Silcence – Turya, the supreme Conciousness, beyond the Gunas. In the Vedas it is explaned like this: A-Brahma (rajas), U – Vishnu (sattvas), M – Shiva (tamas). OM itself is the primordial Consciousness, it’s Lakshmi Narayana, it’s Shiva Shakti, it’s the Oneness, and because it’s Oneness, each tradition can have its own interpretation.
