Re: the structure of Om
hariḥ oṁ
~~~~~~
namasté
- One must conisder mātra ( i.e. meter or measure) of this oṁ and amātra (without measure), its rest.
- One must consider the time of the day ( AM and PM)
- One must consider anusvāra, symbolically as the dot over the m as shown --> oṁ or as the dot above the cresent as shown --> ॐ
- What is anusvāra? that ṁ is nasalization of the sound, that is brought up to the nose cavity to the place between the brow.
- Some think of the example of humming and directing and concluding that humming sound up to the nose cavity then to the place between the brow.
Well begun is half done.
