History
Why do we say om (aum) and how does it relate to Mahadev?
We say it because it represents the universal sound of creation and helps focus the mind in prayer and meditation. Om relates to Mahadev because it represents his divine power and presence.
A–U–M = stages of existence
The sound has three parts:
A → creation / waking state
U → preservation / dream state
M → dissolution / deep sleep
The silence after the sound represents pure consciousness (Shiva / Brahman).

Garba is named after the Sanskrit word garbha, meaning "womb," "gestation," or "pregnancy," symbolizing life and creation.
