Definition and meaning of OM has been extracted from the website of Ananta Yoga.

The word Ananta comes from the Sanskrit and means; The Infinite or Infinity. The context of the word here means the Union of the individual Consciousness with The Eternal Infinite Consciousness which exists beyond existence, and is then transcendent of both Time and Space.

I have given the name Ananta to the Yoga due to the fact that the practice of this Yoga, brings about the merging of the individual consciousness into the Infinite. We could think of Ananta Yoga as the Yoga of The Infinite, The Yoga of Infinity, The Yoga of The Sky or The Yoga of Space.

Ananta Yoga is the Yoga of the Consciousness performed by Consciousness residing in itself. It is not different from meditation upon The Self itself as Itself. This is born out by scripture, in that, Siva Sutra states:

"By non-contemplation of Me, are you bound!"
