Omkaram..
The Causal Word, om, represents the divine thought, the source of existence. It corresponds to the power of will, known as Siva Intention, or icchh
a shakti. The power of knowledge known as Vishnu Formulation, or jnana shakti, and the power of action known as Brahma Expression, or kriya shakti, also express the Causal Word, om.
Omkara signifies the Supreme Siva, being both vyashti (individual) and samashti (cosmic). Thus, Ganesha om, the divine son of Siva, is the support of the whole universe. His sound-symbol om is indestructible in past, present and future. It is immortal and ageless. He is ever Pillaiyar, the cherished child of Uma-Parameshvara. By meditating on Him in the three aspects of A-U-M, devotees can realize the reality of the Godhead. The mahavakya om Tat Sat implies "That is what it is," and it is transmuted into the form of Ganesha. He embodies the Truth of Tat Tvam Asi, "Thou art That."
VEDAM
This Veda is almost like a vast ocean of knowledge, which has come into being while the god was sleeping. It was stored in the heart of the god, which evaluated in the form of noise (Naod). How long this Noad lingered around is difficult to say. Those ancie
nt scholars, Rishis acquired the knowledge of the Vedas in the form of sound. The same got spread among the common intellects who further glorified the knowledge in the Vedas. To receive the correct interpreter and the deep meaning of the Vedas, from Bramhadeva and to experience it, the Rishis applied inner ears. They were overjoyed, being spellbound by the sound and seeing the maintestation of the Vedas. They in turn gave literary shape to this sound. This collection of letters is known as the 'Richas' of the Vedas. In turn these Richas are known as Mantras. The meaning of Mantras is more valuable than the letters with which they are written...sound even more valuable than meaning, and the effects of these sounds (Parinaam) are far more valuable than sounds. All together is called the knowledge of the Vedas (Veda Dynana)Every part of the Vedas, thus seperated and named have a prestigious value and importance. The names of these four vedas are :
1 Rigvedam
2 Yajurvedam
3 Samvedam
4 Atharvavedam.
