By connecting with the Supreme Truth,expressed in Om Satyam Param Dhimahi, allchallenges melt away. When the Truth beginsto be born in us, we will begin to feel freedomfrom all limitations, known and unknown. Thescripture reads, “And the truth shall make youfree." (John 8:32) As soon as the truth is bornin us, we receive freedom, spiritual wealth anddivine grace. As a result, we move through lifegracefully and smoothly. Om Satyam ParamDhimahi is the Divine Truth presented in theform of sound. It means “Let us all meditate on that one Supreme Truth”. Indeed, let us meditate on thehighest truth, the principle of absolute good, and the cause of all. We need to realize that the goal of lifeis for each one of us to search for the truth. It is in the truth, that we will find freedom from all thechallenges of life. It is important for us to keep in mind that our freedom depends upon the extent towhich we are in touch with the truth. Our challenges and limitations are an indicator of the degree towhich we are not in touch with the truth.Let us take a closer look at this mantra and begin to connect with its deeper and infinitely rewardingmeaning. The words Satyam Param indicate that one should search for the Absolute Truth, not therelative truth. Indeed, by surrendering to the Supreme Truth, and not to the relative truth, we gain light,grace and protection. Furthermore, we should not confuse the relative truth with the Supreme andAbsolute Truth. We must look beyond the outer appearance of things. The Supreme and AbsoluteTruth is the source of all power. By worshiping anything other than the Absolute Truth, we gain fruitsthat are limited and temporary. We must have reverence for the Supreme and Absolute Truth, becauseit is the principle at the root of all general and particular powers. Worshiping the signs and symbols ofpower, rather than the Divine source, is an inferior form of spiritual practice. There is one principle innature which is absolute, that which is inferior must obey that which is superior. However great oursuccess may be in leaning upon relative truths, it cannot surpass the powerful effectiveness ofmeditating on the Supreme and Absolute Truth.Nothing is more real than the truth. Everything in the universe is moving toward the Truth. Again, ourchallenges are only a sign we have distanced ourselves from the Truth. We are challenged to correct thecourse of our lives and be reminded that we are born to manifest Divine Truth. The Word of God isTruth. As soon as we bring Truth into our soul we will gain the freedom we are looking for. Freedomhas always been, is now, and will always be, an aspiration of the human mind, heart, soul, spirit.Vibrating Om Satyam Param Dhimahi causes absolute purity, absolute light, absolute truth andfreedom to be the ideal of our soul. This powerful mantric vibration provides a direct connection to theSupreme Lord. By vibrating Om Satyam Param Dhimahi we are surrendering unto God, so as to
receive blessings, protection and grace. This grace and protection is beyond what we can receive fromanything that is impermanent. The law of truth shall always give us power over matter. We cannotforsake the Supreme Truth, in favor of lesser knowledge and power. By meditating on the SupremeTruth, we are establishing a relationship with the power responsible for sustaining the universe so thatwe may be supported and protected. By meditating on the Supreme Truth, we will be enlightened bythe superior light of the Divine. Every living being, therefore, must search for permanent happiness, nottemporary happiness. This material world is impermanent, and anything other than spiritual Truth isimpermanent. The blessings that come from anything that is impermanent are also impermanent.Therefore, we must lean upon the Supreme Being for only He is eternal.Meditating with Om Satyam Param Dhimahi is a contemplation of the source of Light, which is thebasis of the cosmic, solar and planetary spheres. It is a contemplation of the Truth beyond. Truth meansa lifting of the veil between you and a higher understanding. Vibrating Om Satyam Param Dhimahi is arequest to be illuminated and infused with the light of spiritual knowledge, just as the Sun lights up thecosmos. The Sun is Lumen de Lumine, the Light of lights, the God of gods, the supreme deity of theVedas, the Divine power in heaven, which operates on Earth as fire, in atmosphere as lightning, as themajor manifestations of light in our visible world. Every human being is a bright ray of the central Sunof consciousness that illumines the entire world. The Vedas reveal that we are children of light,children of the Sun born on Earth to carry forward the Divine light of truth. Above all, Om SatyamParam Dhimahi is the incarnation of the Light of the Creator in the sound current.Om Satyam Param Dhimahi, is a bija mantra that is found in the Srimad Bhagavatam, one of theeighteen Puranas, also known as the Bhagavata Purana. It is considered to be the essence of all theVedas. The Srimad Bhagavatam is not the Bhagavad Gita; rather, it is considered by yogis to be anadvanced form of the Bhagavad Gita. The Srimad Bhagavatam guides us to meditate on that SupremeTruth (Om Satyam Param Dhimahi), which is the cause of creation, sustenance and destruction of thisworld, but (Itself) does not undergo any change throughout time and is not subject to destruction. Theentire scripture of the Srimad Bhagavatam calls upon us to meditate on that one Supreme and AbsoluteTruth by vibrating Naam. The first verse of the Srimad Bhagavatam begins and ends with the words:Om namo bhagavate vasudevaya [.] satyam param dhimahiOm Namo Bhagavate Vasudevaya translates as “Thy Will Be Done” and professes complete surrenderof the individual to the Divine. This powerful mantra creatively defeats dark forces and restores love,faith, hope, justice, freedom and happiness. It is a Vishnu mantra, a Krishna or Christ mantra, andabove all a mantra of liberation and a spiritual formula for attaining freedom. Interestingly, most ShaktiNaam Yoga classes begin with the recitation of this mantra. Vibrating Om Namo BhagavateVasudevaya generates within us higher energy, pure consciousness, and high vibrational frequency. Itactivates all our spiritual centers, and causes healing energy to freely move throughout our body inorder to heal mental, emotional and physical proiblems. Vibrating Om Namo Bhagavate helps us tounderstand God’s Truth and align ourselves with our own knowing. Om Namo Bhagavate activates the
pattern of salvation that is buried in every single human being. It has the power to release us from allour past mistakes. It leads us beyond our limitations.On the other hand, the mantra Om Satyam ParamDhimahi is the catalyst for our awakening andrebirth within this present incarnation. Our soul is asegment of the eternal soul of the universe, senthere to experience mundane things, that throughexperience we may unfold in the wisdom of theages and thus prove ourselves worthy of expansionin comprehension of the parent soul of whom weare a part. By vibrating Om Satyam ParamDhimahi, we are calling our soul. We are callingupon the divine wholeness. God has planted in the hearts of men and women a spark, a seed, and amodel of perfection and splendor. Om Satyam Param Dhimahi allows us to purify ourselves so that wemay become one with that model. We must acknowledge the divine origin of humankind, and connectwith the divine spark within, so that we may embrace our true spiritual essence, and experience truehappiness. We are made in the image and likeness of God. In each of us, the seed that is the image ofour Heavenly Father's perfection is asleep. This seed is engraved with the indestructible blueprint ofdivinity, but it needs a lofty ideal to nourish, strengthen and stimulate its growth. Om Satyam ParamDhimahi patiently feeds and waters this divine seed, and our sacred spirituality grows purer and purer,and we come closer and closer to perfection as God intended for us. This divine seed provides us with ahigher mission to unite us with that perfection. In the course of time, we will be more and more likeGod, because we will possess the divine attributes in their fullness, as did Adam in the Garden of Eden,allowing us to communicate with God at free will. To be enlightened means to be able to see theunseen and know the unknown. God cannot be understood by the individual soul through intellectualexercises. It is by the grace of God that the individual soul is enlightened.Om Satyam Param Dhimahi causes us to merge with the spiritual reality of the Sun, honoring thesacred presence and higher spirit behind it. The Sun is the visible representation of Divinity, and thegreat symbol of the Self, spirit or Divine presence in the world corresponding to our Atman. VibratingOm Satyam Param Dhimahi, allows us to cultivate the light within us, so as to manifest the universallight of consciousness, and regain the solar aspect of our being. Vibrating Om Satyam Param Dhimahiallows us to connect with the inner divine light behind the great illuminating power of the Sun. Soundis not only the mother of light, but also, we can use the Sun to energize all mantras. That is why yogisand mystics focus on the Sun during their spiritual practice. We should always keep in mind that, thesolar energy is the root of all mantras. Chanting mantras in the sunlight, offering the mantras to theSun, is one of the most powerful yogic practices. The Sun is the most powerful force for energizing allyoga practices. The Sun is both the external and internal source of energy, reflecting the supreme lightof yoga that is reflected in our own hearts and in the outer world. The Sun is the ruler of our solarsystem and all that occurs within it. It is the most powerful influence in nature, responsible for the lightthat nourishes all life on Earth, and sustains the force of gravity through which our Earth revolves. Om
Satyam Param Dhimahi is one of the highest of bija mantras said to carry the power of the Sun. Bymeditating upon the Sun and vibrating Om Satyam Param Dimahi, we are practicing the yoga of light.This is a way to merge with and bring out the Sun of our own true Self that is hidden in the darkness ofthe material world, and especially in our body of pain.The best times to vibrate Naam are during the hours of sunrise and sunset, at noon and on Sundays.Begin by sitting quietly and facing the East.

Vibrating Om Satyam Param Dhimahi will cause usto have a life filled with light and goodness.SATYAM TRUTHPARAM BEYONDDHIMAHI WE MEDITATEOm Satyam Param Dhimahi means, "We contemplate the truth beyond”. Om Satyam activates thespark of light within us that left the original state of pure nothingness to enter into evolution and gainself-knowledge and self-realization. Every single particle in existence has within it a particle of thatnon-existence, the Absolute. At the end of the cosmic day, all of those particles will be reabsorbed intothat state of nothingness. Our real self, our ultimate nature, is Emptiness, the Absolute, the Ain Soph,or Shunya. It is the ultimate nature of everything. It is the fundamental base of all existence. It is astate of pure potentiality, a state of pure happiness, and is absolutely free from conditioning. This is alevel of pure love, pure light, pure peace, pure joy, pure happiness, and pure being. It is lifeunconditioned by any restriction. It is the purest bliss and the purest interconnectedness of all things. Itis a state so elevated, so beautiful and so sublime that it is incommunicable. It is beyond description. Ithas to be experienced to be understood. It is that which we have always been longing for throughout allof our millions of incarnations. It is where we came from and where we long to return. It is our truenature.For at the beginning of time, when God created all souls, we were created with our own energy, ourown unique purpose, and our own unique task. The spark of our soul emanated from the Absolute,from the emptiness, from the divine, and went through millions of years of evolution. As a result, welost our identity and we forgot who we truly are. We have become identified with each body that hasbeen given to us incarnation after incarnation. We are not the car we drive and the clothes we wear.They are not and will never be, who we really are. They are a collection of false beliefs. We forget thatwe will change these clothes for another set of clothes. We are more than our parents, more than ourfriends, and more than the circumstances of our life. We are more than our past lives. Our soul has
been shaped by the past incarnations that we have lived. For each fresh incarnation that a soul creates,the spirit is sent to the Earth as a combination of karma achieved, karma to be achieved, relationshipsthat have been resolved, relationships that are to be concluded, lifetimes known, and lifetimes that arepurposely forgotten.Our true nature, our pure essence lies deep withinus, inside every particle of our Being. It is this seedthat has been evolving throughout all the cycles ofnature for millions of years to acquire knowledgeand to finally acquire this precious resource of ahuman body so as to have the potential to realizeits true nature, which is not of an animal nature.Our true nature relates to where that sparkoriginally came from before it entered intoevolution millions of years ago. It is considered to be our spirit, and our father. Our spirit is the root ofour Consciousness. Our Spirit, our inner father, came from the Father. Om Satyam Param Dhimahitransforms all that we are in order that we may become all that we may be. It allows us to break freefrom the bindings and conditionings that hold us back, so that we may soar from the darkness,renewed, in order to embrace the light.Vibrating Om Satyam Param Dhimahi will cause you to be rewarded in thousands of ways.
