Aum Amen Ameen
“Amen” is said after prayers by Christians and to them Amen means “certainly” or “verily” or “so be it”. But it really doesn’t make sense for them to use the word, Amen.
“Blessed be Yahweh, the God of Israel, from everlasting even to everlasting. All the people said, “Amen,” and praised Yahweh.” (1 Chronicles 16:36)
“‘Cursed is he who dishonors his father or his mother.’ All the people shall say, ‘Amen.’” (Deuteronomy 27:16)
“Ameen” or “Amen” is said after prayers by Muslims.
“Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) said, ‘When the Imam says: ‘Ghair-il-Maghdubi `alaihim Walad-Dallin (i.e. not the path of those who earn Your Anger, nor the path of those who went astray (1.7)), then you must say, ‘Ameen’, for if one’s utterance of ‘Ameen‘ coincides with that of the angels, then his past sins will be forgiven.’ ” (Sahih Bukhari, Hadith 4475)
“Umm Darda’ reported: My husband reported that he heard Allah’s Mes- senger (ﷺ) as saying: He who supplicates for his brother behind his back (in his absence), the Angel commissioned (for carrying supplication to his Lord) says: Amen, and it is for you also.” (Sahih Muslim Hadith 2732b)
The Truth
Sanatan-Dharma is the oldest religion in the world, the mother of religion. All religions that have been created in the past few thousand years, the Abrahamic religions. Have used many Vedic teachings in their scriptures and practices.
“Aum” or “Om” or “Omkara” is said before or after prayers by the followers of Sanatan-Dharma (Hindus) and to them it signifies God or the absolute truth.
“From the beginning of creation, the three words om tat sat were used to indicate the Supreme Absolute Truth. These three symbolic representations were used by brāhmaṇas while chanting the hymns of the Vedas and during sacrifices for the satisfaction of the Supreme.” (Lord Krishna, Bhagavad-Gita 17.23)
“O son of Kuntī, I am the taste of water, the light of the sun and the moon, the syllable om in the Vedic mantras; I am the sound in ether and ability in man.” (Lord Krishna, Bhagavad-Gita 7.8)
“Of the great sages I am Bhṛgu; of vibrations I am the transcendental om. Of sacrifices I am the chanting of the holy names [japa], and of immovable things I am the Himālayas.” (Lord Krishna, Bhagavad-Gita 10.25)
“Therefore, transcendentalists undertaking performances of sacrifice, charity and penance in accordance with scriptural regulations begin always with om, to attain the Supreme.” (Bhagavad-Gita 17.24)
“I am the father of this universe, the mother, the support and the grandsire. I am the object of knowledge, the purifier and the syllable om. I am also the Ṛg, the Sāma and the Yajur Vedas.” (Lord Krishna, Bhagavad-Gita 9.17)
Aum or Om or Omkara is the sound representation of Lord Krishna. By chanting Aum, one is directly chanting Krishna’s name or addressing Krishna.
Amen is a deviation from the word Aum. The purpose is to invoke God.
By chanting “Amen”, the Christians and Muslims are also chanting Krishna’s name, although they do not know it and will deny it. The “Amen” in the Abrahamic scriptures is a remnant of the Vedic past of the forefathers of all Christians and Muslims.
