A stream flows below a mountain in Thailand. If you pronounce &#8216;Om&#8217; at the adjacent mountain, the water shoots up even higher than the height of the mountain itself. A community of saints has built this fountain. We don&#8217;t understand how this happens. How can the water defy its own weight and gravity and reach such heights just because of someone&#8217;s voice? Only a theologist can explain this. We are curious to know how this happens because it&#8217;s possible only when you say &#8216;Om&#8217;.
