Name explanation: In Hinduism, the sound of Om is broken down to 'a-u-m', representing the Holy Trinity. The mantra begins with the sound 'a', representing Brahma the Creator, then the middle sound of 'u' is Vishnu, the sustainer of the universe. The concluding 'm' sound symbolizes Shiva the Destroyer who brings the final cycle of existence to the universe before it begins all over again. Om is said to be the primordial sound.
