Omkara (Pranava) is regarded as the eternal word (Nitya Shabda) and the Primordial Sound. Sri Brahmananda Swamiji, in his discourse on this subject, explores the profound significance of Omkara, its cosmic origin, its role as the essence of the Vedas, the dual nature of the Brahman it represents, and the various methods by which it can be used for spiritual contemplation and worship (Upasana). Omkara serves as a crucial object of support (Alambana) highly praised throughout Vedic literature.
