At approximately noon the entire assembly begins a collective ॐ "Om" which is ended with whooping and a celebration. A parade of children comes from the Kiddie Village, singing and dancing into the middle of the circle.
Like most things at Rainbow things are watered down and shaved off into likable slices for everyone. To fit anyone/everyones beliefs and ideas. The very green attitude that every one is entitled to a opinion so that must mean they are right. The Om is the oldest vibration universally across planets and lands.
There is no way to fit this into everyones palate other than to educate them on the truth and back ground of OM.
Its a shame to try and water down the power of OM and turn it into some flaky loosely used new age term.
Rain bowers need to all be educated on OM, it would be a great addition to the guide.
ॐ As the creation began, the divine, all-encompassing consciousness took the form of the first and original vibration manifesting as sound OM ॐ
. The vibration of "AUM" /Om symbolizes the manifestation of God in form.
. AUM/OM is the reflection of the absolute reality
Without beginning or the end and embracing all that exists
The mantra "AUM" is the name of God, the vibration of the Supreme.
Om derives and is used in Hinduism Buddhism Jainism Sikhism
Today, in all Hindu art and all over India and Nepal, 'aum' can be seen virtually everywhere, a common sign for Hinduism and its philosophy and theology.
Buddhists place om at the beginning of their Vidya-Sadaksari or mystical formulary in six syllables (viz., om mani padme hum) as well as most other mantras and dhārani
There was a lack of organization for the silent morning and the Om was butchered. I was in total shock in what i was witnessing and hearing. More than anything other than the poor presentation of the Om circle was at my amazement that i think half or more people dont even know what they are doing, they call it HUMMING!
Please educate yourself on Om its a beautiful powerful mantra that deserves respect.
