“The transcendental vibration oá¹kÄra is the sound form of the Supreme Personality of Godhead. All Vedic knowledge and this cosmic manifestation are produced from this sound representation of the Supreme Lord.
Oá¹kÄra is the representation of the Supreme Personality of Godhead in sound. This form of His holy name is accepted as the transcendental vibration (mahÄ-vÄkya) by virtue of which the temporary material manifestation has come into being. If one takes shelter of the sound representation of the Supreme Personality of Godhead (oá¹kÄra), he can realize his constitutional identity and engage in devotional service even though in conditioned life.
