Om, the word, is all this. A clear explanation of it is the following All that is past, present and future, verily, Is OM, That which is beyond the three Periods of time is also, indeed, OM. What happened before what is now and what will be later entirely is Om.

A = Brahma (the creator), The first Alphabet A(Akaram) sound that comes from the belly(The Stomach), is formed in the open throat, and is voiced with the mouth open, As with many alphabet sounds.OM or Aum The first one "A" is Shape or form like earth, trees, or other object's.

U = Vishnu (the sustainer), The second Alphabet is the U(Ukaram) sound that is formed in the middle of the mouth. The mouth is not as wide as it is for sounding the A.Om or Aum in second alphabet is "U" means Shapeless or formless like Air,
