It is believed that the whole universe, in its fundamental form, is made up of vibrating,

pulsating energy. OM is considered as the humming sound of this cosmic energy. OM is said to be the original primordial creative sound from which the entire universe manifested.

Om Namo

Bhagavate

Vasudevaya

OM is the name of that inside me, which

is aware of the unity of all things.

Bhagavate means Lord, referring to Vishnu.

Vasudeva, meaning, “He Who abides in all things and

in Whom all things abide,” is a name of Krishna

Krishna is one of the most loved of all deities.

He is considered to be a world teacher for he is the source of the Bhagavad-Gita, one of the most popular

of all the Eastern religious texts. People are drawn to

Krishna because of his playfulness and joyful nature.  

It means literally: "Prostration to Bhagavan

Vasudeva."  or “Surrender to Sri Vasudeva”.

Now, the prostration, salutation, is an external

symbol of the internal union. When we do

namaskara to a deity in the temple, to a friend

or any person, we join both the palms and bend ourselves low. This namaskara, and the joining

of the palms are indicative of the feeling

 of union of oneself with the other.

"I and you are one" - that is prostration, that

is namaskara. Bhagavan Vasudeva,
'I am one with you' is a spirit of surrender, and
here begins meditation on Bhagavan Vasudeva.
