AUM or OM
Om is a holy word used in the beginning of many prayers. Aum or Om is also used to set a tune for meditation.
Aum represents Five Supreme Souls. Arihants, Siddhas (Ashiri), Acharyas, Upadhyaya and Munies (Sadhu). Thus by taking the first letter of Five Parameshthies it becomes as follows: A+A+A+U+M = AUM or "Om".
HRIM
Hrim is a seed mantra. It represents invisible sound, infinity and divine energy of all tirthankars. While meditating Hrim one experiences sublimating of 24 Tirthankars.
