AUM is the basic sound or fundamental science of existence. It is believed in Hindu culture, that Siva uttered the three words - AUM and the world manifested.
AUM in this respect is similar to RGB(RED GREEN BLUE) we have for color televisions where all colors are created by mixing of these 3 colors in different proportions.
Also - in every language - the primary sound is 'A' and chanting 'AUM ' helps in spreading reverberations throughout our entire nervous system. It helps to steady our nerves. It helps in steady the heart. A steady heart and a steady mind are the roots of a stable and prosperous society.
These reverberations are what connects the inner consciousness to the cosmic consciousness. Also sounds and their impact on human nature is not something one can deny. Too much of Heavy rock or Rap where people are constantly bad mouthing will in turn stimulate destructive energies inside oneself. Similarly - peaceful music will stimulate oneness and help synergies with one's surroundings. There are also music which can help us be like still water. This is the state where we want to be. Only when we are still can we truly enjoy life as it happens around us. Else it will just be like experiencing a movie where things are happening to you but you are too muddle headed to experience them and instead you feel almost like your life is no longer yours. You no longer value your life.
I believe we all know when a human life goes down this spiral where life losses meaning.
So chant "AUM" and let everything good happen to you.
