Aum.
It is believed to be the basic sound of the world and to contain all other sounds. It is said to be the sound of the universe.
Chanting Aum allows us to recognize our experience as a reflection of how the whole universe moves–the setting sun, the rising moon, the ebb and flow of the tides, the beating of our hearts. As we chant Aum, it takes us for a ride on this universal movement, through our breath, our awareness, and our physical energy, and we begin to sense a bigger connection that is both uplifting and soothing.

The crescent stands for the veil of material illusion.
