I whole-heartedly applaud this description of that which cannot be described. Hari Om.

Is Praṇava only used in connection with om? And furthermore, when we utter om, on its own, or in a mantra, a hymn, a devotional song, an end to a yoga practice...what does it mean / is it for? Does it connote Īśvara / God / the Supreme, or have we westernised its meaning, to denote something less than that, e.g. a nice or mystical sound associated with yoga? Or could the power and vibration of it connote the supreme anyway whatever name and form we assign to it?
