The symbol of the gods on the waistline of Playboy Model

(Reality TV – Big Brother Brazil) featured on Playboy magazine (Brazilian version). What’s noticeable is the fact that she has the symbol Om, just below her naval and above her waistline. I am wondering what would happen if the traditional religious and politically influential parties get to know this.

If I can quote from about.com on Om, this is what Hinduism says:

Om or Aum is of paramount importance in Hinduism. This symbol (as seen in the image on the right) is a sacred syllable representing Brahman, the impersonal Absolute of Hinduism — omnipotent, omnipresent, and the source of all manifest existence. Brahman, in itself, is incomprehensible; so a symbol becomes mandatory to help us realize the Unknowable. Om, therefore, represents both the unmanifest (nirguna) and manifest (saguna) aspects of God. That is why it is called pranava, to mean that it pervades life and runs through our prana or breath.

 

And following is what Upnishada says:

“The goal which all the Vedas declare, which all austerities aim at, and which men desire when they lead the life of continence … is Om. This syllable Om is indeed Brahman. Whosoever knows this syllable obtains all that he desires. This is the best support; this is the highest support. Whosoever knows this support is adored in the world of Brahma.”

 There’s no point of view that I am trying  to sugges. It’s up to my readers to make there opinion and to have a point of view. I am just bringing this as an FYI.
