Origin

Does freemasonry trace the origin to Nadha Brahman , OM

Masonic origins are not traced to Nadha Brahman or the sacred syllable Om in the cited literature. The sources address the Hindu sacred word Aum solely to distinguish it from other names and terms examined by Masonic writers, noting that an analogy between the Hindu sacred word Aum and the Egyptian On cannot be established. In this analysis, the terminal letter of the Hindu word serves as an initial of a distinct secret word, making any conversion of it into another letter impossible without losing its specific meaning.
