You must have noticed that the word Om is pronounced before every mantra. For example, 'Om Namah Shivaya', Gayatri Mantra, Mahamrityunjaya Mantra also start with the sound of Om. Without this, any mantra is considered incomplete. So let's know about this.

Why is Om special?

It is believed that Om is the only sound that is the symbol of the whole universe. Also, this sound is considered to be the first sound of the universe, because when the creation of the universe took place, the Om sound was produced first. Also, when we pronounce 'Om', we feel an energy inside us. It is also believed that the essence of all the Vedas is contained in this sound. In such a situation, if it is added before the mantra, then its effect increases even more.

Benefits of chanting Om

This mantra is as simple as it is effective. In such a situation, if you chant the 'Om' mantra every morning, especially in Brahma Muhurta, then it helps in concentrating the mind. Along with this, there are many benefits to health as well. This is the reason why the Om sound is also included in yoga. This mantra is also helpful in reducing the stress level of a person.

Only then will you get the full benefit

While chanting the Om mantra, you must keep some things in mind, only then you can get its full benefit. First of all, choose a quiet place for chanting the mantra. To pronounce this sound, first take a long breath in and then pronounce the word Om while exhaling.
