Hum syllable is sacred for Hindu and Buddhist. We know that the seed sylablle of Maha-padmakumara is HUM.
But not many Buddhist know this HUM syllable is very important and sacred in Hindu. Grand Master have said the collective syllable mantra of 12 Devas (including Ishana or Shiva) is HUM.
Then , why HUM syllable is important and sacred in Hindu :
HUM is one of the most important Sanskrit mantras along with OM, Aim and Hrim.
It is said to be the Pranava or primal sound of Lord Shiva, the transformative aspect of the Divine Trinity.
Hum is the main Agni or fire mantra and can help enkindle fire in all of its forms from the digestive fire to the Pranic fire to the fire of the consciousness.
It refers to a gaseous type of fire and so can be connected with lightning and to the power of prana and the breath.
Hum is also a weapon and protection mantra and can be used to destroy negativity with its lightning fire.
It can be used to direct a fiery explosive energy with other mantras. It is also called Krodha bija or the “seed sound of wrath.”
It is the mantra that Lord Shiva uses to project the fire from his third eye that destroys all negativity and burns up all desires.
Hum with a long vowel sound has a similar meaning but a more feminine and Shakti quality. It relates to fierce forms of the Goddess like Kali, Chandi and Chhinnamasta (This 3 Fierce Goddess also worshiped by Tantric Buddhism). It has the power to cut off and indicates the sword.
However, Hum has a soft potential as well. It is said to be the Dhenu bija, the “seed sound of the Mother cow,” calling its calf back to it. It calls out and invokes, while at the same time challenging and warding off.
Hum is used specifically for raising the Kundalini, particularly combining the mantra with the breath, and the fixing of the gaze at the navel, the seat of the digestive fire.
Relative to Ayurveda (India Ancient Sacred Text About Health and Long Life) : Hum increases Prana, Tejas and Pitta, setting all our fiery energies in motion from the digestive fire to the fire of the mind. Both strengthen the immune system particularly against any active pathogenic attacks, but as harsh mantras require some care in application.
Astrologically :
Hum relates to fiery planets like the Sun, Mars or Ketu and increases their fiery properties. They are particularly good for bringing in the higher perceptive power of Ketu, which is a great aid in astrological research, spiritual healing and Yoga.
Relative to Vaastu (seems like Ancient India's Fengshui) :
they can be used to create a protective energy shield around one’s dwelling.
