Abstract

Symbols are conscious communication and language of the subconscious minds. They represent our multidimensional universe. Symbols surround us in numerous forms and form a complex part of our daily lives. They represent a nation's culture, heritage, and history and are part of collective human consciousness. Every culture has its own set of symbols, which are associated with different practices and perceptions. Thus, as a representation, a symbol's meaning is neither instinctive nor automatic. The paper discusses two powerful symbols namely Om and Tai-Chi and concludes how symbols have hidden meanings and doubtlessly they are historical artifacts one attires to identify with one’s faith.
