Rosary beads-bracelet made of black lava with the symbol "AUM (OM)"

Rosary bracelet made of black lava— a volcanic rock. With the symbol "AUM".

The value of the symbol:

Aum (skt. ॐ) or Om — in the Hindu and Vedic traditions — the sacred sound, the original mantra, the "word of power". It is often interpreted as a symbol of the divine trimurti of Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva. Used in the practices of yoga and techniques of meditation.

According to the Vedic heritage, it is believed that the sound om was the first manifestation of the not yet revealed Brahman, which gave rise to the perceived Universe, which originated from the vibration caused by this sound.

The meaning of the sign "Om" or "Aum" is considered in different teachings with some differences, but there are many similarities in these approaches.The letter "A" is understood as the beginning of something, birth (adimatva).

The letter "U" – development, movement, transformation (utkarsha). The letter "M" represents destruction, decay (mitya). Within the framework of this view of the meaning of the sacred sign "Aum", there is a general opinion that this is a special energy (God) that controls the natural processes of creation, development and destruction of the Universe.

The whole sign symbolizes the Creator with his creation, and each of the letters means masculine, feminine and neuter.

The Om sign is also understood in terms of time – past, present and future. The symbol itself implies a Creator who is beyond time.

It is also worth understanding the sacred symbol as the teaching of the mother, father and guru. And in general, it means the knowledge of one's own Self, the awareness of inner divinity.

The letter "A" is interpreted as vak (speech), "U" – manas (mind), "M" – prana (breath of life). The integral symbol represents the living spirit, which is part of the divine spirit. Within the framework of this approach, three letters can also be interpreted as length, width and height, and the symbol implies Power, cosmic energy, God, not limited by shape and size.
