*Spandana - According to Hindu Philosophy the whole universe came from the "Humkara" or Sound of Iswara. Om is the fast "spandana" or vibration of the Sound out of which the whole cosmos was manifested. Om, therefore, can be considered as the/symbol of total creativity and it is also said to be the creator, for in Hindu philosophy, the creator and the creation are inseparable.
