What does this symbol mean?

Ever wondered what that strange symbol that looks a bit like a 30 and comes from India actually means? Well you need not sikh the answers any more for in this one I explain the meaning of this symbol.

man ... i am from pakistan ....my ancestors were hindus ...just typical indian farmers ....until islam came along....& converted masses of us...(by force ...off course)
in my 24 year life ...i have been thinking about our origins ....we're pakistanis ...but actually indians....so our original language is Sanskrit ....which is like blasphemy now in pakistan ....i consider myself lucky .... that i had access to resources online & somewhat of open mindedness to actually learn something of my countrymen are poisoned by islam ....& they won't let go of it!!...tyrant arabs also change our written language to "Urdu"..(which resembles arabic off course)

and now i learn we all came from central asia ....on Khanacademy ...which is run by bengali / indian / US citizen ....
how amazing is this new internet world....

This was amazing, it's clearly a hugely complicated area but I think that you explained it well :)

Om circles are beyond amazing. The energy flowing thru your body and soul is awesome. Cool info!

Excellent work, I've always found Hinduism fascinating I especially love their art and stories but look forward to anything Norse or Germanic as those are my true loves

[ridouanagzoul]

I’m a Islam and I still know what is is this is the om it’s a symbol of Hinduism 🕉

I've affixed this symbol to caskets of each of the Faiths you mentioned, and directed a few funerals thereof.
Again, a very-well researched and presented video.
Thank You. :)
Kind and Respectful Regards Hilbert, Uyraell.

Devanagari is pronounced somewhat like this Dave-naag-ree (stretched a, short g as in nag) not davenjari. Just sub'd your channel after watching your reaction video to -RLL's- AHH's slavery video. Good stuff you got here.

In the beginning, there was the Word...
The word that the almighty spoke was :, 🕉
So, it be and it was.

I have seen a very similar symbol in a DMT trip, it was written on top of the head of a snake, it looked like a snake made by strange geometry and it was moving to me coloured purple and blue and the top of the head white. I never exactly remembered the exact symbol, but this symbol looks very much like it.

Devanagari is pronounced as Deva-Nagari and not as Devan-Agari. Apart from that, it was a great video! 😄

"come across this symbol"....when it's tattooed on the small of her back...

[TheCutePyro]

I've never seen that symbol as the number 30 and now I can't unsee it.

"Marathi" is actually pronounced with a hard "t" sound, like "thyme", not a "th" sound as in "with".

[thatoneguy]

Good info, I've seen this symbol while tripping pretty amazing

The most beautiful Om I find is the one in Balinese script.

[Allhailcatbug]

If you say "worship brahma, karma vishnu" then reverse the speech by sound, it says the same phrase 🕉😉

[tdkeditz]

Very powerful mantra in yoga.Its not only the symbol but all is included in OM.Early morning and if you close your eyes and chant OM you are accepting positivity.

I thoroughly enjoy your Hinduism videos.
