Om bhūr bhuva sva
(a) tát savitúr váreniya
(b) bhárgo devásya dhīmahi
(c) dhíyo yó naḥ pracodáyāt

devasya - 'of God'
dhīmahi - 'may we attain' (1st person plural middle optative of dhā- 'set, bring, fix' etc.)
dhíya na - 'our prayers' (accusative plural of dhi- 'thought, meditation, devotion, prayer' and "na"' enclitic personal pronoun)
yá pracodáyāt - 'who may stimulate' (nOminative singular of relative pronoun yad-; causative 3rd person of pra-cud- 'set in motion, drive on, urge, impel')

Kavikratu Tattva Budh:
"Almighty Supreme Sun impel us with your divine brilliance so we may attain a noble understanding of reality."
Gayatri Pariwar:
"O God, Thou art the giver of life, the remover of pain and sorrow, the bestower of happiness; O Creator of the Universe, may we receive Thy supreme, sin destroying light; may Thou guide our intellect in the right direction."
William Quan Judge:
"Unveil, O Thou who givest sustenance to the Universe, frOm whOm all proceed, to whOm all must return, that face of the True Sun now hidden by a vase of golden light, that we may see the truth and do our whole duty on our journey to thy sacred seat."

How do you type an OM symbol with your keyboard?
I am looking for the keystrokes to type out an Om (Aum) symbol with my keyboard to insert it into text as I type. I am NOT looking for a symbol to cut and paste, but what to type to create the Om symbol in either Tibetan or Sanskrit. Thanks.
Answer: Unicode supplies the Devangari Om ( http://www.fileformat.info/info/unicode/char/0950/index.htm ), the Gujarati Om ( http://www.fileformat.info/info/unicode/char/0ad0/index.htm ), and the Tibetan Syllable Om ( http://www.fileformat.info/info/unicode/char/0f00/index.htm ).
How you type them depends first on your operating system, whether it is Microsoft Windows, or Macintosh, or Linux, or sOmething else.
First, you need Unicode fonts that have the character or characters. If you can see ॐ, ૐ, and ༀ then you are fine there. Otherwise use the web pages that I referenced to get appropriate fonts. See http://www.alanwood.net/unicode/fontsbyrange.html to find fonts for Devangari, Gujarati, and Tibetan.
As to typing these, operating systems cOme with various virtual keyboards you can install to type characters in various languages. For example, in Windows, in sOme editions, you can find these extra keyboards by looking in the Control Panel under “Regional and Language Options''. These extra keyboards can be installed and you can assign a special key code that switches among them. That is, if you are typing in English and wish to type the Devangari Om character, you would type the code that switches the keyboard to Devangari, press the key stroke for the Om character, and then set the keyboard back to English. Note that for Windows Vista and above you will have to purchase either the Enterprise or Ultimate editions for this to work.
For the Macintosh, you may wish to install the appropriate language kits. See http://www.nisus.cOm/NisusWriter/Support/Tips/LanguageKitsOS9.php .
You may also install the Unicode Hex Input keyboard under OS X:
1. Go to the Apple menu > System Preferences > International.
2. Click the tab called either Input Menu or Keyboard Menu (whichever your OS version has).
3. Check the keyboards you want to activate. In this case, the one you want is called Unicode Hex Input. (If you haven't yet enabled the Character Palette, you can do this now frOm the same screen.)
4. Make sure "Show input menu in menu bar" is checked.
5. Close the International control panel.
There are also various free utilities available on the web.
You may also use a keyboard layout creator to edit your regular keyboard layout and assign a keyboard cOmbination for one of these characters, or even keyboard cOmbinations for all three of them. The MIcrosoft Windows keyboard layout creator is available free frOm http://msdn.microsoft.cOm/en-us/goglobal/bb964665.aspx . Also see various Unicode utilities for various operating systems provided at http://www.alanwood.net/unicode/utilities.html , including keyboard layout creators, sOme of which cost, but which are more powerful.
In sOme Microsoft applications, such as Microsoft Office or Notepad, you can make sure that Num Lock is set for the numeric keypad, press down the left Alt key, type the DECIMAL number of the Unicode character you want on the numeric keypad, and then release the left Alt key. The decimal numbers are found in the three web pages I cited for character information.
The free Quick Unicode Input Tool allows you to use this method with any Windows program. It also allows you to type the hex code for the Unicode character using the regular keypad.
See also the site http://ipa4linguists.pbworks.cOm/ which is mainly intended to show how phonetic symbols can be got, but the many techniques mostly also work with other Unicode characters.

I have an old Olympus OM 10fc and would like to use the lenses on a new Olympus digital slr camera?
I have an old Olympus Om 10fc and would like to use the old lenses since I have about 5 on a new Olympus digital SLR camera. What kind of Olympus camera would you recOmmend?
Answer: You can do that with any of the Olympus Digital SLR cameras using a simple adapter (Olympus sells the adapter for about $100 U.S. but you can get good ones frOm third party manufactures for between $20~$50). I have both types and would not pay the difference for the Olympus brand again). In theory they should work with Panasonic and Leica Four/Thirds cameras as well but I have not tried either of them (because I am not rich enough to own all three brands).
Be aware that the focal length will be effectively doubled, the lenses will require manual focusing and "stop down" metering in aperture priority mode and there are limitations on the metering modes that will work. Olympus recOmmends a very narrow range of aperture settings but I find that Om the lenses work well at most settings.
There are also adapters with an electronic "focus confirmation" sensor that will provide an electronic connection to the auto-focus mechanisms on Oly cameras, this causes the audible/visible focus confirmation signal to activate when you have achieved best focus. I have not used any of these and have heard mixed reviews where sOme people loved them and others hated them. This can be important because the viewfinders on DSLR cameras are not traditional ground glass screens like those frOm manual focusing film cameras but rather are clear screens with focus points visible in the viewfinder. The ground glass style is considered unnecessary because of the auto focus capability.

is the olympus OM-1 a good camera to start with?
Ive been interested in photography and i found an ad for an olympus Om-1 for 300 dollars with two lenses and other accessories. I dont know much about cameras. Is this a good start?
Answer: Hi,
The Om1 camera is a classic, high quality camera that is still highly desired/valued by both film shooters and camera collectors but the price you are quoting would be almost impossible to evaluate without much more detailed information.
For example:
Is it a chrOme or black body?
Does it include the flash shoe?
What lenses are included? Brand, focal length & maximum aperture are critical.
(Olympus lenses are identified with the name Zuiko and are, in general, excellent optics)
What accessories are included?
If you go online and check the prices of items based on these features you will have sOme idea of what price you should be paying.
Here is a link to one of the largest used equipment dealers in the world and they have extensive listings for Om1 cameras and accessories. Keep in mind that they have service technicians and extensive test/repair facilities so they can charge a premium price for their offerings. And, in my experience and what I have heard frOm others, they are VERY CONSERVATIVE in the ratings of their products so even their Bargain/Ugly rated products are in pretty good shape.
http://www.keh.cOm/camera/format-35mm?s=1&bc=39
They currently have ~
Om-1 bodies going in the $50~$200 price range
Om-1 with 50mm f/1.8 in the $80~$180 range
Om-1 with 50mm f/1.4 in the $
Note that many of these are Om-1 MD (Motor Drive) models, which means they have a small square badge on the front of the body that says MD and an engagement socket on the bottOm to attach a motor drive or winder attachment. It should have a cover, similar to a battery cover, that protects the socket but they are often misplaced. It will be at the extreme end of the plate on the bottOm at the same end of the camera with the film advance lever.
If the camera includes a second lens that alone may be worth a considerable amount (or not if it is one of the very cOmmonly sold moderate wide angle or telephotos or lower priced zoOm lenses).
Any Zuiko lens with a focal length LESS than or EQUAL to 24mm and an f/2.0 aperture is highly prized and probably can be resold for at least the price you are being asked to pay for the kit!
Other highly sought after Zuiko lenses include ~
180mm f/2.8 $250~$350
28~48 f/4 zoOm $75~$150
35~105 f3.5~f4.5 zoOm $150
Winders and motor drives vary widely in price depending on manufacturer and style/type. An operational Olympus winder in good condition should fetch anywhere frOm $25~$125.
Remember that these are primarily based on prices frOm dealers and represent premium prices. A private transaction without warranty should be 10% to 50% lower.
Hope that helps. Email me if you have more specific details and questions.

Would it be wrong for a claimed Catholic to get the OM symbol as a tattoo?
I am a Catholic. Yet, Ive always been interested in learning about other religions and things of that nature. Buddhism has always been one of great interest with me and I was wondering if it would be wrong for me to get a tattoo of the Om symbol.
Answer: I suggest you wait a year. By then, you will have matured that much more and you might be glad you don't have to have expensive laser treatments to remove it.
Tattoos are permanent, they may be meaningful at that point in time, but time goes on, and people change over time. Most people I have asked have regretted the tatoos they got several years ago.
I am Catholic, and I have a Tibetan singing bowl I incorporate in my reflexology practice. The Church rejects nothing that is true in other religions. http://www.vatican.va/archive/hist_councils/ii_vatican_council/documents/vat-ii_decl_19651028_nostra-aetate_en.html
Buddhism has accOmplished but little for the uplifting of humanity in cOmparison with Christianity. One of its most attractive features, which, unfortunately, has becOme wellnigh obsolete, was its practice of benevolence towards the sick and needy. Between Buddhists and Brahmins there was a cOmmendable rivalry in maintaining dispensaries of food and medicine. But this charity did not, like the Christian form, extend to the prolonged nursing of unfortunates stricken with contagious and incurable diseases, to the protection of foundlings, to the bringing up of orphans, to the rescue of fallen wOmen, to the care of the aged and insane. Asylums and hospitals in this sense are unknown to Buddhism. The consecration of religious men and wOmen to the lifelong service of afflicted humanity is foreign to dreamy Buddhist monasticism. Again, the wonderful efficacy displayed by the religion of Christ in purifying the morals of pagan Europe has no parallel in Buddhist annals. Wherever the religion of Buddha has prevailed, it has proved singularly inefficient to lift society to a high standard of morality. It has not weaned the people of Tibet and Mongolia frOm the custOm of abandoning the aged, nor the Chinese frOm the practice of infanticide. Outside the establishment of the order of nuns, it has done next to nothing to raise wOman frOm her state of degradation in Oriental lands. It has shown itself utterly helpless to cope with the moral plagues of humanity. The consentient testimony of witnesses above the suspicion of prejudice establishes the fact that at the present day Buddhist monks are everywhere strikingly deficient in that moral earnestness and exemplary conduct which distinguished the early followers of Buddha. In short, Buddhism is all but dead. In its huge organism the faint pulsations of life are still discernible, but its power of activity is gone. The spread of European civilization over the East will inevitably bring about its extinction.

I have an Olympus Om-1 film camera, but no battery for it and I cant find one. Can anyone help?
I need sites/shops in the UK though please.
Answer: Dear Old Rob has laid too much information on you. The probabilities are that the adjustments have already been made for the 1.5V SR44 battery, but if you are in doubt, take your camera to a camera store that does repairs and have them check it out.
If it has not been changed, then don't worry about it. Wein makes a 1.35v Zinc/Air Cell that will work quite well.
The Om 1 has the distinct advantage of nothing having to have a battery in it to operate for taking pictures. The battery only operates the light meter and with a little study, you can cOmpensate for the lack of a light meter by reading up on the phenOmenon of the SUNNY 16 RULE.

What is the significance of the OM symbol in Buddhism?
HI! I know the word "Om" is used in Buddhist meditation and is supposed to represent peace/harmony or sOmething along those lines during meditation but I would appreciate it if sOmeone could please explain to me the significance of it if I have it wrong or give me a more detailed response. thank you1
Answer: In Buddhism it is used in mantras and dhāranis
A deeper insight into this mystic symbol reveals that it is cOmposed of three syllables cOmbined into one, not like a physical mixture but more like a chemical cOmbination. Indeed in Sanskrit the vowel 'o' is constitutionally a diphthong cOmpound of a + u; hence Om is representatively written as AUM.
Fittingly, the symbol of AUM consists of three curves (curves 1, 2, and 3), one semicircle (curve 4), and a dot.
The large lower curve 1 symbolizes the waking state (jagrat), in this state the consciousness is turned outwards through the gates of the senses. The larger size signifies that this is the most cOmmon ('majority') state of the human consciousness.
The upper curve 2 denotes the state of deep sleep (sushupti) or the unconscious state. This is a state where the sleeper desires nothing nor beholds any dream.
The middle curve 3 (which lies between deep sleep and the waking state) signifies the dream state (swapna). In this state the consciousness of the individual is turned inwards, and the dreaming self beholds an enthralling view of the world behind the lids of the eyes.
These are the three states of an individual's consciousness, and since Indian mystic thought believes the entire manifested reality to spring frOm this consciousness, these three curves therefore represent the entire physical phenOmenon.
The dot signifies the fourth state of consciousness, known in Sanskrit as turiya. In this state the consciousness looks neither outwards nor inwards, nor the two together. It signifies the cOming to rest of all differentiated, relative existence This utterly quiet, peaceful and blissful state is the ultimate aim of all spiritual activity. This Absolute (non-relative) state illuminates the other three states.
Finally, the semi circle symbolizes maya and separates the dot frOm the other three curves. Thus it is the illusion of maya that prevents us frOm the realization of this highest state of bliss. The semi circle is open at the top, and does not touch the dot. This means that this highest state is not affected by maya. Maya only affects the manifested phenOmenon. This effect is that of preventing the seeker frOm reaching his ultimate goal, the realization of the One, all-pervading, unmanifest, Absolute principle. In this manner, the form of Om
represents both the unmanifest and the manifest, the noumenon and the phenOmenon.
As a sacred sound also, the pronunciation of the three-syllabled AUM is open to a rich logical analysis.
The first alphabet A is regarded as the primal sound, independent of cultural contexts. It is produced at the back of the open mouth, and is therefore said to include, and to be included in, every other sound produced by the human vocal organs. Indeed A is the first letter of the Sanskrit alphabet.
The open mouth of A moves toward the closure of M. Between is U, formed of the openness of A but shaped by the closing lips. Here it must be recalled that as interpreted in relation to the three curves, the three syllables making up AUM are susceptible to the same metaphorical decipherment. The dream state (symbolized by U), lies between the waking state (A) and the state of deep sleep (M). Indeed a dream is but the cOmpound of the consciousness of waking life shaped by the unconsciousness of sleep.
AUM thus also encOmpasses within itself the cOmplete alphabet, since its utterance proceeds frOm the back of the mouth (A), travelling in between (U), and finally reaching the lips (M). Now all alphabets can be classified under various heads depending upon the area of the mouth frOm which they are uttered. The two ends between which the cOmplete alphabet oscillates are the back of the mouth to the lips; both embraced in the simple act of uttering of AUM.
The last part of the sound AUM (the M) known as ma or makar, when pronounced makes the lips close. This is like locking the door to the outside world and instead reaching deep inside our own selves, in search for the Ultimate truth.
But over and above the threefold nature of Om as a sacred sound is the invisible fourth dimension which cannot be distinguished by our sense organs restricted as they are to material observations. This fourth state is the unutterable, soundless silence that follows the uttering of Om. A quieting down of all the differentiated manifestations, i.e. a peaceful-blissful and non-dual state. Indeed this is the state symbolized by the dot in the traditional iconography of AUM.

What is the best DSLR for me to fit my old OM lenses on ?
I am considering buying a DSLR and have sOme old Om lenses lying about and wondered what the best DSLR under £400 would be for using the old lenses with an adapter.

Though there is one (second hand) with both kit lenses offered by another seller through Amazon. The autofocus kit lenses are good and significantly lighter then the old Om lenses. (My choice would be this.)
