Manifestation is perceived as material existence in this article. Materialism advocates that only Physical matter can hold the fundamental reality . The materialistic concept advocates that the validity of the existence of anything depends on whether it can be perceived through the senses or not. It is an empirical approach. Modern age is predominantly an era of materialism. An intense tendency of materialism is widely being witnessed in Indian Mythic Fiction o f 21 st century where along with the myth, the philosophy or spiritual essence associated with it is also manifest. Among other examples, this article would focus on how Amish Tripathi has converted the Sacred sound OM into a material value in his fiction series Shiva Trilogy. Keynotes: Materialism, OM, the primeval sound, Physical manifestation, myth, mythopoeia. According to the holy Bible, “In the beginning was the word, the word was with the God, and the word was God…All things were made by him (the wor d) and without him was not anything made that was made” (John 1:1-3)1 This reference to the holy word shows that a certain sound at a certain frequency was the beginning through which everything else originated. It is connected with God itself. The ancient Vedic sages discovered this sound to be ‘Aum’ or ‘Om’, the primordial sound, the 1 st breath of creation, the echo of the universe and vibration of very existence. The great sage Patanjali speaks of Page 252  Labyrinth : ISSN 0976-0814 (Vol.8 - No.2, July 2017) God as the actual cosmic sound of ‘Aum’ that is perceived in meditation. OM may be considered to be the echo of the Big Bang. D.K. Hari and D.K. Hema Hari write in this reference: “When this Srishti i.e. creation, came into being, Hiranyagarbha, the cosmic egg broke open with a Brahmanda Visphotak , Big Bang. The universal explosion that occurred at the moment would obviously have also been accompanied by a sound. Otherwise, it would not be a bang.”2 The divine authority of the sacred word is not restricted to the Vedas but has reference in other faiths too. Aum of the vedas became the sacred word Hum of the Tibetans, Amin of the Muslims, and Amen of the Egyptians, Greek, Romans, Jew and Christians.3 Its meaning in Hebrew is ‘sure, faithful’. A21st century author,AshwinSanghi, has clipped the prefix Omni – to Om – as in the words ‘omnipotent’, ‘omnivorous’, ‘ombudsman’, ‘omen’ etc. in his mythic fiction The Krishna Key4. He has tried to establish that the word OM has relations with the attributes presenting the infinite. In India, the school of Materialism is quite old. It developed around 600 BC with the works of Ajita Kesakambali, Payasi, Kanada, and the Cārvāka School of Philosophy , the early proponents of atomism. Buddhism and the Jain school commenced the Atomism tradition. According to the C ārvāka School of Philosophy , “there is no heaven, no final liberation, nor any soul in other world… ”5 (Sarva-Darshana-Sangraha, chapter 1). It denies any existence beyond Atom or physical matter. This predominance of the physical matter must have been the reason why Indians use symbols, allegory and personification in abundance. Al Biruni, a Persian scholar, wrote in his book Kitab-ul- Hindin 1032 CE: Neha Kumari & Rajesh Kumar  Page 253 “The Hindus can never speak of anything, be it an object of the intellect or imagination, without representing it as a personification, an individual.”6 As the process of creation in Hindu mythology is intrinsically linked with the concept of Lord Shiva, the primeval sound is naturally connected with him. Thus, Omkarnath is also an attribute to Shiva. In Amish Tripathi ’s mythic fiction Shiva Trilogy, he has created mythopoeia through the archetypes associated with the Shiv a myth. In his fiction, Shiva is neither a God nor a superhuman but a common person who raises himself with heroic qualities. A perfect spectacle of the mythic world has been created by Tripathithrough different attributes of Lord Shiva, for example, Shiva
