This coming weekend Ananda in Texas will be offering a special program sponsored by Ananda Houston. It will be on Aum, the primordial vibration that underlies all of creation. The great saints say that Aum is the melody of love. It is this divine stream of consciousness that resounds within our very souls. It is what loved us into existence and what calls us back to merge into perfect joy. Swami Kriyananda describes it this way:

Aum (pronounced OM) is the sound that emanates from the heart of creation, bringing consciousness into outer manifestation, maintaining it, and dissolving it back again, finally, into Infinite Spirit. This sound is the Word of the New Testament. It is the Amen of the Book of Revelation. In India, this cosmic sound was given the name AUM. By attuning one’s consciousness to this sound, one enters the stream of vibration that proceeds out of Spirit, and that merges back into the Spirit at creation’s end and at the end of the individual soul’s cycle of outward wandering. By merging in AUM, liberation is attained.

In our two-part program in Houston the weekend of August 24-25, we will explore and immerse ourselves in the wonders of Aum. We hope you will join us for this “lovefest” in Aum!

Together in Aum,

Ananda in Texas
