A great Silver Om pendant 3.5cm in size to top of bail set with garnet 6mm approx, would make a lovely present. Chain not included.

Om to the yogi is an powerful symbol, Om is said to be the eternal word , what was, what is and what will be. The Om symbol shows a curved letter, the lower curve is said to represent the dream state, and the upper smaller curve the waking state, the centre curve coming from the back of the symbol  represents deep sleep.The semi circled new moon shape at the top is the veil of maya which the spirit needs to transcend in order to reach an enlightened state showen by the dot.

"Prajapati, the Creator of all, rested in life-giving meditation over the worlds of his creation: and from them came the three Vedas. He rested in meditation and from those came the three sounds: BHUR, BHUVAS,SVAR, earth, air, and sky. He rested in meditation and from the three sounds came the sound OM. Even as all leaves come from the stem, all words come from the sound OM. OM is the whole universe. OM is in truth the whole universe."
