In Hinduism, wherein it signifies the essence of the Ultimate Reality ( parabrahman) which is consciousness ( paramatman), Om is one of the most important spiritual symbols.
As a syllable, it is often chanted either independently or before a spiritual recitation and during meditation in Hinduism, Buddhism, and Jainism.
