Science about Om

Modern studies about om declare that the pronunciation of word Om creates physiological alertness. Just a few years ago physics knew that an atom can be divided into protons, neutrons, electrons as science developed they went further and realized that these particles can be further divided. Lately, the scientist concludes that the waves on energy in fact makes the atoms. This is very similar to what has been professed by the Indian spiritualist who says the world is nothing but “Maya”.

Self-Actualization

Every religion starts with a prophet who is a master spiritualist. He has experience of the self or the Atman, he devises away based on his experience and tells the world to use his way to discover the truth. The world recognizes the master much after he has gone and then realizes. A new religion is born which is nothing but a way to attain self-actualization. The followers instead of really following the master and having their own experience focus on first reading what the master has written.
