📈 Trends & Pop Culture
🌍 Cultural Background
Om is held to be the most sacred syllable in Hinduism, Buddhism and Jainism – the primordial sound from which the world unfolds. It opens prayers, marks temple entrances and anchors mantras.
In the West, yoga and meditation turned it into a wellness motif that ends up on T-shirts and water bottles. That detachment from its religious core is viewed critically by many believers – using a sign like this casually is not the same as sending a heart.
