Hari Om!
Thank you very much for the quick and a detailed response sir.
I’m little confused about the below part relating to the correct spelling of Om.

Others write it as Aum, to spell out very clearly the three letters that make up pranava or Onkara. You must know the pranava mantra is only ekakshara, monosyllable even though it is made of three letters. Therefore Om is the more appropriate usage.

You’ve mentioned that AUM spells out the three letters that make up Pranava or Onkara. Then shouldn’t Aum be the correct spelling?
Reg. this part ‘pranava mantra is only ekakshara, monosyllable even though it is made of three letters’, I think I haven’t reached that level to understand ekakshara etc.
Once again thanks for clarifying my original query.

Pranam!
