“OM” MEDITATION
CHANDOGYA UPANISHAD i-1-1 to i-1-7

Chandogya Upanishad inspires one to meditate on the syllable “OM” which is called as Udgitha associated with Sama Veda.

Udgitha is “OM”. Rig Veda is speech. Sama Veda is breath. They both join together as “OM”.


Earth is the essence of all beings.

Water is the essence of the Earth.

Plant is the essence of water.

Man is the essence of Plant.

Speech is the essence of Man.

Rig Veda is the essence of Speech.

Sama Veda is the essence of Rig Veda.

Udgitha (OM) is the essence of Sama Veda.


One who knowingly meditates on "OM" , the Udgitha, gets all his desires fulfilled.
