| | Aum Shinrikyo |
 | | Young says Aum was not a "user-friendly religion" (237). | | | Aum Shinrikyo offers liberation from suffering and illness, and Mullins states "Aum can best be viewed as an eclectic Buddhist movement that draws on various Asian traditions, such as yoga and Tibetan Buddhism" (Mullins: 315). | | | Aum is Sanskrit for the "powers of destruction and creation in the universe," and Shinrikyo is the "teaching of the supreme truth" (Reader: 15). |

| | Aum Shinrikyo - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Aum Shinrikyo (also spelled Om Shinri Kyo) was a religious group which mixed Buddhist and Hindu beliefs and was based in Japan. | | | The Shaktipat tradition that originated in ancient India as part of esoteric yoga tradition and also mentioned in Mahayana Buddhism texts was also continued by Aum. | | | The name "Aum Shinrikyo" (Japanese: オウム真理教 Oumu Shinrikyō) derives from the Hindu syllable Aum (which represents the universe), followed by the three kanji characters shin ("truth," "reality," "Buddhist sect"), ri ("reason," "justice," "truth"), and kyō ("teaching," "faith," "doctrine"). |

| | Gayatri |
| | The syllable AUM is a sacred Mantra of the Vedas.It is an esoteric formula from which all written and unwritten sounds, letters and words have emanated. | | | It is therefore the matrix of all sounds, and thus the fittest symbol of the Godhead; it is the Word, which, according to St.John, was in the beginning, was with God, and was God. | | | By repeating it and meditating on its meaning, the aspirant develops introspection and overcomes such obstructions to the spiritual life as 'disease, mental laziness, doubt, lack of enthusiasm, lethargy, clinging to sense-enjoyments, false perception, non-attaining of concentration, and falling away from concentration when attained'. |

| | Ashahara has, on many occasions, claimed to be the reincarnated Jesus Christ, as well as the first "enlightened one" since the Buddha. | | | The real target of the raids that began on March 17 was the building known as Satyan 7, a supposed shrine to the Hindu god Shiva, the most prominent figure in the Aum Shinrikyo religious pantheon. | | | Millennial visions and apocalyptic scenarios dominate the group's doctrine, evidenced by the prominent role of Nostradamus as a prophet in Aum Shinrikyo teaching. |

| | BBC NEWS Asia-Pacific Aum's lingering legacy |
| | "The Aum followers, they still maintain their absolute faith in Asahara and they maintain faith in his doctrine too," he said. | | | Aum also offered practical spirituality in a society absorbed throughout the 1980s with economic development. | | | Although many Japanese claim to adhere to the nation's traditional religions of Buddhism and Shinto, their worship often seems to fulfil a cultural rather than emotional need, according to Ian Reader, a lecturer in religious studies at Lancaster University in the UK. |

| | Aum changed its name to Aleph in early 2000, but in the minds of many Japanese this was simply a cosmetic attempt to cover up the fact that Aum followers remain fanatics besotted by a megalomaniacal and destructive guru. | | | Holding that the recent actions were no different from previous ones committed by Aum members, the paper went on to argue that the main problem was their continuing connection to the incarcerated guru and his dangerous doctrines. | | | In a report of its own, the PSIA declared that Aum was trying to spread its message on the Internet, effectively turning itself into a "cybercult." |

| | Indeed the Upanishads say that AUM is god in the form of sound. | | | Another ancient text equates AUM with an arrow, laid upon the bow of the human body (the breath), which after penetrating the darkness of ignorance finds its mark, namely the lighted domain of True Knowledge. | | | In this manner, the form of OM represents both the unmanifest and the manifest, the noumenon and the phenomenon. |

| | AUM! - A Theosophical Article by William Q. Judge |
| | THE most sacred mystic syllable of the Vedas is Aum. | | | We find expressed in the merely mortal music the seven divisions of the divine essence, for as the microcosm is the little copy of the macrocosm, even the halting measures of man contain the little copy of the whole, in the seven tones of the octave. | | | From what we are led to the seven colors, and so forward and upward to the Divine radiance which is the Aum. |
