Anyone care to take this one on...
I would like a true definition (perception) of the word "BOM", please. Of course, I am interested in each person's perspective.
Only serious replies, please :)
Thank you. |

Yossi, be serious;)
Here Jedi
taken from http://www.chill-out.nu/boomshankar.htm
Origin Of Boom Shankar :
The true meaning of derives from the world Boom shankar. It's a hindi (or Urdu don't quote me)
Word used by the Sadhus (religious priests if you like of Hinduism) to pay
They' re respects to
Their deity whilst or prior to smoking chillum.
You will find a lot (if not all) of westerners (especially at parties) also Paying their respects whilst
Toking on a chillum-for the reason that after you have a good hit of some Manali or Parvati Cream
You too begin to feel religious if noy already up there with the gods ;
This is a basic explanation of the word, it may not be gospel ; but gives you
A bit of an idea of
" The Origins of Bom ! " (quite a good name for a compilation title don't you think ?
Peace & Respect….........................................Thanks to Eden who published it in 604 List.
What is "Bom Shankar"?
Working backwards:
Shankar is a name for Shiva, one the 3 main dieties in the Indian pantheon. His dance is the rythm of
the world, the beat of the heart, the cycle of day and night. He lives in the Himalayas, and lies in the
mountains smoking cannabis and his hair flows down from the mountains as the holy river Ganges.
His worhippers include "sadhus" wandering mendicants whose worship includes smoking chillums
of hash, so they became very popular with the wandering freak set India.
bom, or boom, or bem, or bam is a sound -- a sharp sound.
Boom Shiva: it is said by sadhus before they light the chillum to :
a) sanctify it Shiva
b) let Shiva know the chillum is being smoked
c) let other sadhus et al know to come share a chillum
Loosely translted as : OH shiva..im smoking a chillum, hey you sadhus, come and share it with me"
Other varients: boom, bem, bom, bam, boom, boom shiva, boom mahadev (greatgod), bembaleh. |
