“… in the begining there was darkness, the Spirit was hovering everywhere. That Spirit could be called Sadashiva, or the Creator, who is All pervading. The power of the vibration of the sleeping Sadashiva was hovering around the cosmos in a clockwise circular pattern. The energy of Desire (Icha Shakti) which was located within Sadashiva was quite tired of this orbiting (Parikrama) of Sadashiva and expressed a desire to be independent of Sadashiva. So Sadashiva acceded to Her request with the condition that She should remain in Her orbit (Parikrama) and not to return to Sadashiva unless He desired. The Icha Shakti agreed and Sadashiva put Her in Her own orbit which was also clockwise. After millions of years the Icha Shakti got tired of Her loneliness and wanted to rejoin Sadashiva, ignoring His condition that She could only come back to Him when He wanted Her, and not of Her own free will. As Icha Shakti started coming closer to Sadashiva, He held out His hand to stop Her, and it hit the orbit (Parikarma) which was shaped like a bangle. The orbit then disintegrated into three parts with a sonnel and rejoined to form an AUM.

This was the first sound (naad) created, or as Shri Mataji said, the first musical note that was created.

I was listening with rapt attention as She explained that the dot that is shown on top of the third disintegrated part is in fact Sadashiva Himself. In fact, Shri Mataji went on to say that these three disintegrated parts were the three energies, the Mahakali, the Mahasaraswati, and the Mahalakshmi …”
