The spiritual nature of this timeless pendant was created to combine the enlightened symbol of the Om with the artistic brush stroke of the heart. The wearer of this piece will appreciate its cultural meaning and share a passion for inner peace. The Om (or Aum) sign is the main symbol of Hinduism, it signifies God, Creation, & the One-ness of all creation. The three portions of AUM relate to the states of waking, dream and deep sleep. The three letters also indicates three planes of existence, heaven, earth and netherworld. Aum is said to be the essence of the Vedas and is considered to be the sound of the Sun and the sound of Light. It is the sound of assent (affirmation) and ascent (it has an upwards movement and uplifts the soul, as the sound of the divine eagle or falcon). Om pendant measures 11/16" wide x 13/16" in length (1 1/16" including bale). Created by SiennaLynn Designs exclusively for Taos Trading. Made in the USA.
