who would want to use this symbol now?’
‘Aum?’ asked Shiva.
‘My Lord, Aum is the holiest word in our religion. It is considered to be the primeval sound of
nature. The hymn of the universe. It was so holy that for many millennia, most people would not
insult it by putting it down in written form.’
‘Then how did this symbol come about?’
‘It was devised by Lord Bharat, a great ruler who had conquered practically all of India
many thousands of years ago. He was a rare Chandravanshi who was worth respecting and
had even married a Suryavanshi princess with the aim of ending our perpetual war.’
‘Who are the Chandravanshis?’ asked Shiva.
‘Think of them as the very antithesis of us, my Lord. They are the followers of the kings who
are the descendants of the moon.’
‘And they follow the lunar calendar?’
‘Yes, my Lord. They are a crooked, untrustworthy and lazy people with no rules, morals or
honour. They are cowards and never attack like principled Kshatriyas. Even their kings are
corrupt and selfish. The Chandravanshis are a blot on humanity!’
‘But what does the Aum symbol have to do with this?’
‘Well, King Bharat came up with this symbol of unity between the Suryavanshis and the
Chandravanshis. The top half in white represented the Chandravanshis.
The bottom half in red represented the Suryavanshis.
The part in orange coming out of the meeting of these two parts represented the common
path.
The crescent moon to the right of the symbol was the existing Chandravanshi symbol.
