Hindu Om (Ohm, Aum)

The Om symbol is comprised of a dot, one semicircle and three curves.

• The dot signifies Turiya, the fourth state of consciousness.
• The semi circle at the top, which separates the dot from the other curves, represents Maya.  It symbolizes the illusion of Maya that is an obstacle of the highest realization.
• The upper curve represents the state of deep sleep.
• The middle curve stands for the dream state.
• The large bottom curve is the symbol for the waking state.
