I
- I am the father of this universe, the mother, the support, and the grandsire. I am the object of knowledge, the purifier and the syllable om. I am also the Rk, the Sama, and the Yajur (Vedas). BG 9.17 - 1972
- In Bhagavad-gita (BG 7.8), Krsna explains Himself by saying: "O son of Kunti (Arjuna), I am the taste of water, the light of the sun and the moon, the syllable om in the Vedic mantras; I am the sound in ether and ability in man"
- In Bhagavad-gita Krsna says that He is pranavah sarva-vedesu, the syllable om in the Vedic mantras. In transcendental knowledge, the Lord is addressed as pranava, omkara, which is a symbolic representation of the Lord in sound

- We have to follow the sastra and the great saintly person. Otherwise there is no difference between omkara and Krsna. But because sastra recommends harer nama harer nama (CC Adi 17.21), we have to accept it
- When we chant the Vedic mantras which begin with om, we can also remember Krsna. Om, like Hare Krsna, is also an address to God, and om is also Krsna
