"Conversations, in a family, become linguistic archaeology. They build the world we share, layer it in a palimpsest, give meaning to our present and future. The question is, when in the future, we dig into our intimate archive, replay our family tape, will it amount to a story? A soundscape? Or will it all be sound, rubble, noise, and debris?" —Valeria Luiselli, Lost Children Archive

‘Aum’ is divine: it is said to be the primordial monosyllabic sound that
existed at the time of creation of the universe. It contains all other sounds,
words, languages and mantras. Aum was born before anything else was
born on earth. Before creation began, there was Shunyakasha—the
emptiness or the void. Shunyakasha, literally meaning ‘no sky’, is actually
more than nothingness; because everything then existed in a latent, potential
state. The vibration of Aum symbolizes the manifestation of God in form.
Aum is the reflection of the absolute reality; it is said to be anadi, ananta—
without beginning or end—embracing all that exists.
