The A-U-M Chant, comprising the sounds A, U, and M, represents the beginning, middle, and end of a cycle, with M symbolizing the deep sleep state and the convergence of self and not self into mutual negation. The M sound gradually leads into silence, allowing for complete release into a void while maintaining awareness. This chant is self-sustaining and indicative of profound stillness. The M represents destruction and dissolution through Shiva and Parvati, who create, sustain, and dissolve the universe in eternal harmony.
