![]() Now, what is eternal in humans? It is the Soul, the Atma. Nara means also human, like Narasimha, which means Man-Lion. Whatever is eternal is Divine and the other way around, whatever is Divine is eternal. ![]() Nara means imperishable or eternal which is a quality of the Divine. “Namo” means also ‘I give my respect, my salutation’. For example, Om Namo Narayanaya and OM Narayana Namaha are both correct. It’s the same as Nama or Namaha, and it depends where the word is in the sentence (just grammatically). What does “OM” mean? ( >klick here) What does “Namo” mean? We are not subserviant to our lower self, we only belog to God. This is really nice, because that means that our soul doesn’t belong to our emotions, to our limited mind, to our body, to our desires, or to our karma, or to this world, but is ever free, it belongs only to God. So OM itself means the Atma belongs only to God, only to Lakshmi Narayana. ![]() And M comes from the Sanskrit word „Mah“, which means „mine“. M – stands for the Atma, because M is the 25th letter in the Sanskrit alphabet, and the 25th tattwa of creation (which means essence) is the Soul. U – means „only“ or it means Maha Lakshmi, because where Narayana is, Maha Lakshmi is also there. In our Sri Sampradaya, which is our Vaishnava tradition, the OM in Om Namo Narayanaya means:Ī – stands for Narayana, Maha Vishnu, because A is the first letter also in the Sanskrit alphabet, and as Jesus says that „I am the Alpha and the Omega, I am the first and the last“, so as A is first, Narayana is first, He is the first cause of everything. Keep in mind here that the Snaskrit OM sign is literally translated as AUM, however the pronunciation is OM. Silcence – Turya, the supreme Conciousness, beyond the Gunas. In the Vedas it is explaned like this: A-Brahma (rajas), U – Vishnu (sattvas), M – Shiva (tamas). OM itself is the primordial Consciousness, it’s Lakshmi Narayana, it’s Shiva Shakti, it’s the Oneness, and because it’s Oneness, each tradition can have its own interpretation.
