 Chanting of OM mantra

Repetition of mantra can elevate the consciousness and transcend the limitation of a mind. The reward of mantra will be received easier when the chanting is practiced with sincere devotion. One minute of sincere chanting is far superior to a thousands hours of mere vibration. It is the love and worship behind the sound that bring the real benefit of chanting.

OM is made up of O U M. Pronouncing Ou should be pronounced such a way that it will create the vacuum inside the body (starting from palate to diaphragm ) so the air (called Praana or life ) can fill inside. M must be pronounced inside the crown of head. Sounding M this way will vibrate the freshly entered Praana inside the body. Consequently the vibration will be felt every cell of body first and rest of the atmosphere surrounded it.

The birth of OM

Sadhus says that O stands of material thing,  U highlight the dreams or seeking and M stands for real truth or something unknown.  Thus Om contains the entire spectrum of sound, words and concepts. In brief OM is an meaning of all  life, love and wisdom.

Hindus believes that OM is an first sound which has been generated when the cosmos formed. So every element of this cosmos will feel the familiarity of the vibration when this OM has been chanted. Means chanting of OM will connect ourselves to the rest of the world and submerge our Karma with the divine at bottom level.
As like all meditation practices the goal of OM narration is to call the mind and relaxing the body. This will increase the concentration so that harmonious thoughts more easily come to mind followed by their product of kind and caring actions.
